Looks like a humiliating return for Henderson. Will the huge amounts of cash on offer make the league work or is quality of life more important than we think.

Jordan Henderson has badly damaged his image – and that of the Saudi Pro League | Jonathan Wilson

By quitting the upstart league so soon, the former Liverpool captain has made a mockery of his principles and the wider project

He must be rich already so doesn't really need the money.
You only get one life, what's the point in spending years being somewhere you don't want to be when you don't need to ?
He probably wishes he could turn the clock back now, he's made a right hypocritical prick of himself which he'll never shake off.
 
more importantly will the Saudi league get their 13 million back?
Surely Liverpool should be charged under financial fair play for robbing the Saudis😂😂😂

Needlessly trashed his own reputation. Let's be honest, he was a good player who happened to captain an excellent Liverpool team with several world class players to success. Alisson, van Dijk, Salah and Mane would have likely lifted trophies wherever they went. Henderson meanwhile would just as likely been clogging the midfield at Wolves. Same talent profile as Mark Noble.

He should have gracefully moved to the Liverpool bench or gone to be captain at Wolves etc.

Instead he undermined all his empty chat about civil rights and chased the money. Not a total cunt, but a bit of a cunt in my mind.

Really hope he doesn't make it into the England team again. Besides, his main attribute, running around a lot, he's not as good at any more.

That’s unfair to compare him to mark noble, he maybe wham but no evidence that noble is a money grabbing hypocritical cunt rat like marble mouth Henderson who was carried at Liverpool.

That's not really true. He deferred income there for tax purposes so by leaving early he isnt getting that money.

He's not just dipped into a bank account of his for 4 million quid. He isnt going to have that kind of money just sitting there however thick I think he is.

So basically, he worked in Saudi Arabia for no wages for six months like he was doing charity work 🤣🤣🤣
