Jordan Henderson (Liverpool -> Al-Ettifaq)

The thing is these footballers support causes it doesn't mean they will put their careers on line for that cause.   Someone comes knocking on your door to promote a cause, you may want to help them in different levels.  You might make a one of donation small medium or large contribution, might pay  a continuous payment on a monthly basis.  Might want to go out and volunteer for the cause.   finally if you are all in you might want to implement can make changes in your lifestyle and leave a will for them.   

A contribution of us giving a £5  might mean more to these highly paid footballer it doesn't mean they are all in.    I said this at the time of the world cup all in for me is Mohammad Ali.  He believed in something that he gambled his peak years, he risked his career, money everything.   If the likes of Henderson and Kane were remotely all in they would have refused to go full stop that would have been a big statement.   But no they want to help the cause but not threaten their career and ambitions which for me is fair.   Like someone coming to my house, I like the cause make a donation.

Kane?

Kane made a lot of noise before Qatar if he was that passionate should have refused to go.  But no he wanted to go to the world cup and claim every goal that deflected off his arse. These were more important to him, his choice fair enough.

klopp confirmed, he told hendo to stay, but wouldnt be 1st choice.

sorry his own words were he wouldnt play 50 games a season, and hendo was not a good sub. l o l

Klopp pulling no punches on Henderson there.

Correct assessment. That it was time to move on

Hendo didn't leave for the money guys. He left for the exciting atmosphere and new challenge. Apparently the dude gets jazzed up playing infront of less than 1,000 supporters.

Have you seen their games? Some of the highlights I've seen, they have an atmosphere some English clubs wouldn't mind having. Just saying.

Similar attendance to a lot of European leagues.

6,804 is the average attendance for his club. His last game there were less thank 1,000 spectators in the stands. One of the games there was only 1,024. When Ronaldo came to town about 13k showed up.

No atmosphere but sky high wages, for these players, who choose to play in this league.

It's a mickey mouse league. The greedy play there.

I suppose that goes double for the MLS?

I talk to die hard MLS fans often, some of the dumbest people you will ever meet.

What do they say? (I follow MLS but I wouldn't put myself in die hard category)

I don't know, I don't watch MLS.

The money might be incredible but I imagine Hendo must be missing playing in front of 40-50 thousand week in week out

Think his bank balance more than makes up for not playing in front of 50,000 fans. 😂

Yeah i'm sure that cushions the blow!

But still, it is like playing during lockdown. I'm assuming there are more spectators for the bigger games.

He's money orientated ... greed overcomes everything so playing in empty stadiums in a pub league won't phase him. Non league teams get bigger crowds.

Enjoy it hendo. Its what you signed up for.
