He's apparently unhappy in Saudi Arabia and wants to leave.
He's getting paid a reported £700'000 per week (but apparently he didn't go for the money).
I don't care how much I hate my job, hate the country I live in, miss my family etc, if you're paying me £700'000 per week I am going to see out my contract.
What happened to the money Al-Ettifaq paid to Liverpool for him? Why would you allow a player to leave after paying many millions for him leave for free 6 months later? Seems a bit dodgy.

I don't know mate. A club that paid north of £10m for Chuba Akpom feels like an ideal place to be hawking some of our wasters around. |
Chai-EEAAARRRRR. Get him in that marketplace.
Cue 6 pages on the sociopolitocal history between Morocco and Saudi Arabia. Thank you Wikipedia. |  | | |

Hopefully this Phillips to Palace thing materialises so one of the other options we have in that spot is actually playing some football. |
Ross Barkley is having an excellent season in the exact same role at Luton | | | |

I would take the lad at man Utd Mainoo (sp) what a prospect he looks |
Too slow unfortunately. Great technical ability but just can’t cover the ground fast enough to ever be a truly top CM | | | |

Some suggestion from fairly reliable journo Sam Wallace that Henderson deferred his wages as a tax dodge, and now probably won’t get them at all, which would just be chef’s kiss. |  | | |

They want him off the books.
His wages would be more than the transfer fee, so they cut their losses to avoid losing an arm and a leg ... to use a phrase!
Playing for Ajax allows Southgate an excuse to squad-pick him.
If he somehow gets ahead of Rice and Bellingham in the centre, then that's a disgrace. Not to mention Foden, Gallagher and even TAA.
We don't need him. |  |

It is quite glorious that the reason he’s ultimately ended up working for free is that he didn’t want to pay any tax to the country he loves representing so much… | | | |

He's not getting in ahead of Rice and Bellingham is he, might possibly play alongside them but won't be replacing them. Foden will play as one of the wide players |  | | |

So bound to be a big puff piece somewhere when he signs, replete with Henderson showing us his CD collection like Gareth in The Office. | | | |

Or, you know, just play one pivot in Declan Rice and use our wealth of attacking options in front of him. Bellingham is box to box. Play a Grealish or Eze in that midfield 3, then have Foden, Kane and AN Other up top. Given how much possession England have and how strong the squad is, just go out to score more goals than the oppo. Two holding midfielders is ludicrous for England. |
Exactly , chance how attacking we can be and modify when needed . Embrace the favourite tag and attack , you would hope | | | |

if it was a club side thats what he should do but you don't win international tournaments like that. Game is very different to club football, would personally play Trent as the third midfield player although he's very hit and miss for England | | | |

We don’t win international tournaments under Gareth’s tactics either.
Playing players out of their normal positions is also madness. |  | | |

We've come a lot closer than under any other manager since Venables under him but to win these tournaments you have to be very good at the back and control midfield, you look at teams who have done well in last few tournaments from France, Croatia, Argentina and Italy all play that well with good defensive midfield players and a very strong front 4
I don't disagree playing players out of position is mad but in Trent's case I think he's good enough to do it and would add a lot more in that midfield than Henderson or Philips | | | |

He can’t sign for an English club because he’d pay UK tax in everything he earned in Saudi. He needs to have a complete tax year outside the U.K.
Ajax looks like a good solution for him. | | | |

UK-Netherlands have a double taxation agreement, so obligation to pay in one or the other not pay at all. Income tax rate in Holland currently 49% | |

It's absolutely incredible how someone who has captained Liverpool to a title, The CL, FA Cup and League Cup will likely only be remembered for this now.
For a somewhat limited footballer he had built a phenomenal career, reputation and was pretty much universally liked except by Man U and Newcastle fans.
He had a plum job on MNF/MOTD guaranteed in 2 years time after he had inevitably wound down his career at Liverpool. Who would want to listen to his opinion now. He'll forever be known as a greedy bastad
He's torched the lot for absolutely nothing. The interview he gave to The Athletic made it even worse. If he'd kept his mouth shut, come back with his tail between his legs and said 'The money on offer as eye watering, I had to take it. Once I was out there though it was obvious I had made a mistake and I'm a lucky boy to be able to come and play for an iconic club like Ajax' people would have likely been OK with it (see Jermain Defoe's 6 months in Toronto).
He's also probably blown his chances of making the England squad with Gallagher and Jones progressing whilst Phillips looks set to move. All he had to do was play 15 games for Liverpool this season and Southgate would've had him in no questions asked.
An absolutely mental move from someone who has previously seemed very switched on |  |

The strong suggestion is that he deferred pretty much all of the wages into next year as he wants to still play for England at the Euros, and so needs to be in the country and thus a tax base here.
Because you know, he wants to play for England and benefit commercially from that, but he doesn’t want to actually pay tax here….
Good luck to him getting the Saudis to pay out those deferred wages - let’s be honest they only will have let them cancel how contract in return for giving up that money. | | | |

A player who’s effectively retired from top level football shouldn’t even be considered for the England squad. |  |
