    Turned down a billion a year to go Saudi. His family dont want to move there. Fair play to lad, lots of footballers, including the 'good' ones like Jordan Henderson all piled in there. Yes he's not short on coin, but neither was Ronaldo before he agreed to participate in sports washing!

    I've heard he's set on a L1 club. Watch this space.

    On about Birmingham, who's betting they'll be under an FFP transfer embargo next year?

    And how much did Henderson make from his stay in Saudi Arabia? Exactly the same as I did, zilch! I can’t remember the exact details, but it was something along the lines of deferring his wages until he received a ‘loyalty’ payment from Liverpool, or something. He then left Saudi before it got sorted, they ripped up his contract and he got bugger all. He ruined his reputation and his standing with Liverpool fans for nowt. My heart bleeds!

    I believe he had to wait 2 years for it to be a tax write off or something too. Cant remember. Glad it fumbled though!
