“Money with tail” offered by Al Etifaq to Jordan Henderson, to convince him to leave Europe, but also to reunite with Steven Gerrard, after their time together at Liverpool, both as footballers. A crazy move, which did not leave everyone satisfied, despite all that, with his most characteristic example Germain Pennant.
The veteran England winger spoke to talkSPORT, and showed his intense disbelief, referring to the wages that the 33-year-old midfielder will receive in Saudi Arabia, amounting to 700 thousand a week, almost four times the salary he received at Liverpool.
“He’s not Lionel Messi, he’s just Jordan Henderson. He was good as Liverpool captain, you can’t argue with that, but it doesn’t change anything. His numbers in goals and assists are very low. I can’t say I’ve seen him in a game and he’s stood out. I’ve never seen him and I said ‘that’s why we got Henderson’“, he emphasized.
Pennant knows Liverpool quite well, playing for the Reds from 2006 until 2009, where he made 53 appearances, reaching the Champions League final in 2007, with Liverpool losing to AC Milan 2- 1.
