700k a week

For Jordan decking Henderson, what a shambles the Saudi League is. My people really do know how to chuck money down the drain.

As for the Saudi league, signings like this do it more damage than good. Pretty embarrassing.

Fair play to Henderson. He has to think of his family and 700k a week will sort him out for life.

All this bolloks about players 'thinking of the family' is feckin nonsense as well. Get a grip folks ffs.

The family are already set for life prior to a comical move like this ffs.

He only earns around £10m a year just from his contract with Liverpool, think of the family!

Tbf that money set's up his kids kids.
Saudis have trillions. They could spend a few billion this year and it wouldn't even make a difference.

Oh is that all. Yeah my bad. Bet he only dries like a Fiesta or something as well and probably mows the grass himself. And those poor kids, no chance of a gameboy or whatever it is they play these days.

Have to add as well, what kind of cant sets his kids up for life anyway? By all means get them a good education etc but to leave them enough money never to have to lift a finger would be pretty shocking parenting.

Wasn’t he one of the big promoters of LGBT inclusion also?

Better wages, better weather and a better quality of life.

I am all for living in foreign lands and all for a change of pace and different lifestyles to experience but lets not go overboard. The 'quality' of life in Saudi would be far diminished compared to most of the western world and what westerners are used to.

The country has changed in a big way.

The biggest difference is a blanket ban on public displays of romantic affection. You can go home and play with whatever hole you like in the privacy of your own home.

It's not a perfect country but in exchange its beating England in terms of safety and economic prosperity. The same goes for the UAE and Qatar.

Henderson won't regret it, the same as Ronaldo.

Yeah the poor lad and his family having to survive on £150k a week before now.

After endorsements etc, Hendo must be taking home £10m a year.

The concept that he's making this move for his family's security is a joke. He earns more in a week than 99% of the country do in a year!!

Apparently, the average wage of the top 10 earners in the UK is about £70k a year! Or about 3 days work for Hendo.

This is about pure greed, which is seemingly forgiven for footballers but attracts abuse and reproach in many other walks of life.
