The Jordan Henderson Contract Situation [Signed 23 April 2015]

I thought as Sterling has his own topic(apart from player one) that our future skipper should.
if true Hendo turned down 100k a week and has said he is happy to wait till the summer. I for one think he should be on close to Sturridges wages and be one of our biggest earners if he's going to be captain. i think Sturride will be our top earner once Gerrard steps down as lets be honest once fully fit he bangs in the goals.
Now is Hendo's agent waiting to see what Sterling gets to then have some weight to say hay i think Hendo should be on more being the captain. i would offer hendo 110k a week for a 6yr deal and Sterling 100k a week as a take it or leave it offer. I think they will both sign to be honest but agents are turning the game into a greedy horrible sport to be involved in.

Hendo knows hes not better than Coutinho so will be asking for 65-70k a week.

Different positions and types of players. Coutinho isn't better than Hendo in the box-box role, and Hendo isn't better than Coutinho in the #10 role as a creative player!

He's been on that since we signed him 4 years ago as a 21 year old mate!

Both Jordan and Raheem will sign I'm sure, this has agents all over it, and more than anything probably linked to the fact that they don't want to tie up their clients now in March when there are things up in the air that could affect the going rates of any new deal across football such as the new TV deal for the PL and the new deal in the CL.. The second of the two dependent of if we get there. Both of those will affect the rate and I'd imagine that the agents just won't talk right now until we are sure where we will be playing next year.

However I think they stay no matter if we didn't finish top 4, but I think that these talks have just fallen in the wrong time with all the fresh TV deals about to kick in next season.

I can't be bothered to get upset about what they get or don't get.. Personally I think they will both sort out a deal over the summer and both stay. We will just have to wait until then for them to be concluded

Wish some people would do even a little bit of research

Maybe he thought that with him being so young, coming from an inferior club like Sunderland and not achieved or won anything to "prove" his worth that he was on a "trainee" contract like Cou was and Raheem still is

I wouldn't mind me one of those trainee contracts

I wouldn't mind one week of their money, I could buy three terraced houses and become a landlord!

Wouldn't we all mate but then we're not trainee footballers.

But if I was I'd want the going rate, not because I'm greedy but because I know I can 

another goal to add to his value we seriously need to just go back to his agent say set the price but then we say we want long term of 6yrs so they have to meet us in the middle. we pay high wages but its for a very long contract

for fucks sake.
They both said they're waiting til the summer.

No fuss, no big deal, just waiting til the season finishes.
By then the club and the players will both be in stronger positions if we qualify for CL.

Storm in a F***ing teacup, both this and the Sterling sh*te that's going on just because a couple of rags decide to stir the sh*t.

yes calm down ladies. henderson will sign. the agents are doing their scummy jobs.

/Fin.

Everyone fretting in this and the Sterling thread, just consider what PD says here... Both players have years on their deal, therefore they can afford to wait till the summer to negotiate, which suits them and their agents.

The chances of either of them not signing come the summer are slim to none I think.

Ajayi, stop obsessing over contracts. Half your posts make some reference to contracts even when it is irrelevant to the discussion at hand. You aren't a bad poster, but recently you are in danger of becoming one. Sort your sh*t out, and stop being a bellend.

I feel like you aren't going to get the message unless it is battered into your skull so the rest of this post will be the first sentence repeated over and over again.

Are we done yet?

Edit to clarify what the specific problem with it is; you derail topics by bringing up contracts in irrelevant situations, you mindlessly repeat garbage from newspapers which I wouldn't wipe my arse with as if they are facts (see your original post for details), you exaggerate the importance of the issue far beyond its merits, and you talk about nothing else.

agents are turning the game into a greedy horrible sport to be involved in.

And you are helping them with your obsession with contracts. When the fans obsess over contracts and fees, how can the sport being anything over than money focused? There's a poster on here (I can't remember who, but I'm sure they will pipe up) who aptly describes us as being turned into a fanbase of accountants. Its unhealthy.

I wouldn't mind me one of those trainee contracts

There might be a few Reds, on here, who could fix you up with a trainee contract, of sorts, mcarz.

Although maybe your talents and skill-set lie in a different area: say bartending or hairdressing?

I say - go for it and who knows... 3, 4 or 5 years from now, you might be one of the best and the owner of the salon (knowing that they might lose you and with you, a fortune) might just come looking you; wonderful offer in hand. Don't lose hope buddy. 

Warning: There might be a downside - they might, after only a few months, realise that you're pish and lend you out to a dog grooming parlour to wash poodle's holes.

woke up on the wrong side of the bed have we? Firstly dont call me a bellend as you dont know me! this is a forum to discuss all Liverpool topics and yes i'm going on about the contract situation recently because its an issue with the fact that two of our players have rejected offers. If you dont like or agree with my posts that's fine as we all have opinions but you dont start insulting other fans mate as that's not on. The title of the thread is the Henderson Contract situation so surely if you didnt like that topic you didnt have to open it just to troll or insult a fellow fan. i wont apologies for talking about how long players have etc as its nearly summer so will be a big issue if they all chose not to sign and move on wont it. keep negative opinions out of it as i'm happy to discuss this issue with fans who would like to discuss it.

Personally I think both hendo and sterling will stay at least for a couple more years.  Hendo for some reason I think will be with us for quite some time.  He really looks up to Stevie and imo wants to mirror him as much as he can


also for whats it worth.... I wouldn't mind Hendo becoming the captain.  I like him a lot and recently he has added goals to his game (one of the biggest critique people had about him in the past).  the lad is hard working, he seems to have a decent head on his shoulders and he sticks up for his teammates. 

Everyones always using Coutinho's new contract as a measuring stick but some people may think that particualr deal under values him greatly... ?.. I think FSG did a little sneaky on him imo..lolol

I'm not against people generally discussing the contract - not even you - but you are doing it in almost every thread. Much of the time you behave like a reasonable and likable enough person, but your obsession with the contracts is unhealthy and incredibly irritating. Furthermore, you repeat utter sh*t from disreputable papers that anyone with any intelligence would reject as at best guesswork and at worst blatant lies - this alone is very unhelpful.

If you keep it in just this thread and the Sterling one from now on, I won't have a problem with you. I still will think you are a mug for stressing over it, however.

i would buy a chain of pubs and drink them dry

No it's not mate, if you read through the Sterling thread you will see that the arguments for and against aren't just centred around Sterling. It shows a divide in people's opinions on how the club should be run and how it should approach the issue of contracts/wages. The Stir.ing debate itself is predicated on a bunch of hypotheticals, rumours and conclusion jumping but it's but still, I think it's been a pretty good debate to be honest, frustrating that not everyone agrees with my viewpoint and I can't figure out why the foooook not! but a good debate none the less.

ok i can keep it to the two threads that's a valid put still show a bit of stupidity by insulting me but if that's how you get your kicks i wont rise to it. if you knew me lad you wouldnt call me a mug as i'm far from it so lets draw a line under it now and get back to supporting the team and not insulting fellow fans.. its done now
