[Football] Jordan Henderson - Saudi move not about the money

[Wozza]

What a TOOL.

Jordan Henderson: I strongly believe that me playing in Saudi Arabia is a positive thing

In his first interview since leaving Liverpool for Saudi Arabia, Henderson answers questions on money, his morals and leaving Anfield

Henderson: People will see this club come with loads of money and he’s just gone, “Yeah, I’m going.” When in reality that just wasn’t the case at all. People can believe me or not, but in my life and my career, money has never been a motivation. Ever. Don’t get me wrong, when you move, the business deal has to be tight. You have to have financials, you have to feel wanted, you have to feel valued. And money is a part of that. But that wasn’t the sole reason. And these possibilities came up before money was even mentioned.

What a hero.






Rancid

 

[Mustafa II]

I wonder how much he was paid to say that.

 

[Icy Gull]

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Yeah you definitely go to Saudi Arabia for footballing reasons.

 

[GJN1]

What a way to tarnish an otherwise exemplary career.

 

[brighton_tom]

Convincing himself that that's true. And all these other players arent going there for the money are they Jordan?

If it wasnt about money why didnt he look for another Prem club like Lallana did? Could have stayed in a top league, earning decent money, avoided moving his family to a country with a horrible human rights record, and im sure he would have found a club ''that made him feel wanted''....

 

[Mellotron]

Absolute load of bollocks. Poor from Henderson.

Not going there to bury his head in the sand? PROVE IT. Wear rainbow boots, go on.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

"But that Money wasn't the sole reason"
but a major factor though eh....

To late fella, we know the real reason.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He would've been better keeping his mouth shut rather than trying to justify it.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Of course, it's every players' dream to 'grow the game' in other countries, which is exactly why so many players have been moving to the Kyrgyzstan and Togolese Premier Leagues recently.

What a wanker. Should never play for England again, but obviously will under the beaky gormo.

 

[Simster]

Stop digging Jordan.

We already knew you were a hypocrite. Now we know you're a lying hypocrite, which makes you an utter wanker in my eyes.

 

[HeaviestTed]

I honestly believe the Saudi thing will end in disaster, one player/player partner/player kid, will do something like have sex on a beach and then they will go to jail (risk hanging if it is a gay relationship??).

The other players will be out of there in an instant.

 

[METALMICKY]

Looks even more of twatty trying to justify it! Would have been better to say nothing

 

[Oh_aye]

Wow. He should have just kept his mouth shut. 'Moneys not important' followed by two paragraphs one why money needs to be important.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Just say "I went for the money to the detriment of everything else including my morals."

 

[Oh_aye]

Just say "I went for the money to the detriment of everything else including my morals."

Or he could be REALLY honest and say 'i never really had any morals. But the LGBTQ stance was really good for my profile and England chances'

'Now, ironically, I just get to be me!'

Footballers will be above the law there.

This sports-washing project is one of the government's top priorities. And there's no independent judiciary.

Any Saudi police who arrests a player for breaking the local laws will never be seen again.

"But that Money wasn't the sole reason"

To late fella, we know the real reason.

I'd love to see him put together his list of all the other reasons (that don't instrinsically link back to him being paid lots of money).

 

[Uh_huh_him]

What a dickhead.
You don't get to keep your reputation intact after shitting all over it.

Just take the money and shut up, you tool.
