I thought Henderson would have stayed on for a season in the Premier League to preserve his space in the Euros squad next year and then chase that last blood money deal.

He is on £200000 a week, there’s no way he is waiting a year and risking injury and losing a deal worth far more than he is worth.

Money isn't always the driver, after all those two saps bought Wrexham.

For Hendo it's definitely the money

Ah all the footballers coming out to support Mendy I see. More than came out to support Ali. Says it all really.

In fairness there aren’t many Henderson level players that would turn down that money. I think the Saudis are mugs paying it.

Tbf they wanted to do that and seem to be genuinely enjoying it.

Arsenal have wasted their money, should have signed special fried rice and not Damien rice

Shrewd move by Beckham signing Messi for inter Miami reckon they'll be queuing round the block to get into the not yet built stadium.

I have to admit I haven’t kept a running tally, but saw a few come out to support both. In terms of Mendy I don’t know what to think. I wouldn’t want him playing for my club, but it seems hard to stop him having a career on the back of a not guilty verdict.

Even with their stadium not yet built and playing in an old stadium for a team that went out of business years ago, Messi alone is still enough to send the ticket price skyrocketing. Had a look and nothing below $160 for 2 home games coming up this week.

I think Greenwood is more damming because of the audio.

I don’t know who to believe as I wasn’t there. I don’t however believe an accusation should automatically result in a guilty verdict and a player losing his career.

These cases should be anonymous until proven guilty, no matter if you are famous or not.

The trouble is from being charged to acquitted took Mendy 2 years, most of that in custody. In a social media world how do you keep that secret?

I also think there the Greenwood audio file is in the public interest. If everything anonymous he would have an undeserved good reputation.

he wasn't cleared, they decided not to retrial (a technical difference), so the accusation still stands as valid.

Whats strange about that individual case, is that his gf has forgiven him and got engaged and had a baby. Whilst majority outside are still outraged by it. Which is difficult to understand in 2 ways for me. 

1. Why would you get engaged and have a baby with a guy, who you have accused of raping you and beating you up.

2. Why would you get back with a women, who has accused you of raping her and destroyed your career.

I think from a damage control perspective getting back with her is to MG advantage. It’s hard to know her reasoning and she is perfectly entitled not to give it.

Why would it be to Mason Greenwood advantage?

I think he can try and create a narrative that if she can move on, then so should everyone else. I don’t think it will work.
