They wouldn't sell to anyone for £12m normally, but Saudi had Henderson asking to go so he can earn £35m a year from some murderers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, sne said: Since that knee injury in late 2020 he's managed 11 goals and 5 assist in total all competitions. He's struggled to stay fit or get into the team and he's clearly lost a step or 5 and he struggles to get past his opponents. Not faulting his attitude or his technical ability, but I do question his ability to get back to anything even close to what he was before that injury. The Liverpool coutinho is gone and probably has a lot to do with the serious injuries he had. But he did add value when he first started playing for us and looked half decent (including a good spell before he got injured under Emery). So that makes me think there is a bit of a psychological fragility and maybe some lack of motivation at times, besides any physical issues.

MotoMkali Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 5 hours ago, Hank Scorpio said: You would have hoped the medical team would know if his physical ability permentaly damaged before signing him ffs Sadly the issue is that typically meniscus injuries that take that long the player tends to recover with more athleticism than they had initially. However the issue becomes that meniscus is what prevents your joints rubbing together and if it is compromised it can quickly lead to chronic knee issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re surprisingly tolerant of other religions when you’re out there in the Arab world, even if they’re not on the face if it. From my experience if you are a ‘man of the book’, of any book, that tends to be respected. It’s the atheists who raise eyebrows. It’s honestly less hassle to just declare yourself as a Christian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 So he's staying. Honestly, I just hope Emery can get something out of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I don’t really see how he fits into the squad other than to be one of those sorts of figures that players idolise on the training pitch. Unfortunately, I don’t think there will be any realistic offers for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providing you're not hobbling or carrying a niggle, you make the bench. Match ready and match fit are 2 different things. He may not be doing any contact training yet on his injury return - therefore not match ready. Then once he’s back in full training he can focus on getting match fit… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think, like them, were easing players out back in rather than bung them in ans risk needless unwanted injuries due to not being up to speed.

I thought the Saudi’s would drop 10-15m on him and tempt him over. I think that would have already happened if it was going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinebro Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 No future under Emery. Simply does not have the legs or intensity Unai requires. The people still hoping for Liverpool Coutinho to return is living in a fairytale world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree there won’t be offers for him unfortunately, but I still think he has a part to play if he can get fit, which again, is questionable! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
