Should be a red light to Hendo - if they can only afford 13M transfer fee, but are promising him 36.4M per year, are not PIF funded and reside in a league where there are current cases of transfer fees & wages not being paid, how confident is he that they will maintain his salary for more than a few months?
My hope, given the squad for Germany, is that Fabinho goes, but Henderson stays and he also makes a statement apologising for his actions, his head was turned by money & agents, but on reflection it was be wrong for him as a defender of human rights and a Liverpool captain to have even considered it.
We forgave Stevie in 2005, maybe we can do the same with Hendo.
As a player his worth is clearly diminished, but as a stable force to help integrate the new signings and show them the way, while contributing odd matches & sub appearances he is invaluable and we could do with him for at least 1 if not 2 more years,
