JazzG He looks really happy to be there, could have got more money in Saudi but I think after his last couple of years at PSG probably just wants to enjoy his football.

He'll probably make just as much money, if not more, through the commercial side of things whilst in America.

The real winner is Beckham - ever since he moved LA Galaxy he was low key mocked for turning his back on European football. Even when he exercised the option to buy Inter Miami, it seemed like he was just making up numbers by becoming the worst team in the league but he's properly hitched himself to the MLS bandwagon and drove things forward considerably. Messi stands to make a lot from the commercial side over the next two years but he'll have to be an exceptional operator to match Beckham's decisions.

Messi scoring 2 more inside 25 mins on his first start. Best retirement ever

    Mirth Putting on a show, getting paid and having VIP American celebrities come see you every match. I can imagine this is exactly how C.Ronaldo wanted to end his career!

    Busquets looking great as well, guy probably never had so much space to play with in his life lol.

    This wonderkid Brighton plucked from Nordaseland looks ridiculously good

      I'm glad we didn't sign this cunt. Tried to injure 2 players already in 2 friendlies

      mitoma definitely getting sold next summer then. love how they get the replacements in.

        Meatwad Mitoma and Ferguson will be sold next summer, DeZerbi more or less said as much before this window.

        Looks like RM may have found their new Zidane.

        Lol, they couldn't have been less subtle about not showing the rainbow armband if they tried.

          I ain't gonna knock the man for getting paid. The vast majority behind the movement would drop their support for that kind of money as well. I've always thought the majority are a bunch of grifters anyway...

          That's a false equivalence since "the majority of the movement" isn't close to having the financial position Henderson already had at Liverpool.

            Let’s be honest there will be a point where everyone sacrifices their morals and I suspect Henderson’s were never that strong to begin with.

            That being said it’s fun watching him being criticised.

              It was a nice bit of branding for Henderson but now there is a better offer on the table he's moving his brand elsewhere. Its easy for a footballer in the UK to take a stand in support of gay rights because its the default position in the UK. There was never anything brave about it to begin with.

                QuincyAbeyie Most people want more money. You see billionaires out there working with bad regimes to get a bit more richer. This is life changing money for Henderson, if the £700k a week tax free rumours are true he'll probably make more in a year out in Saudi than he has in his whole football career. He is coming to the end of his career and this sets him up, fair play to him.

                Qwiss Look at LeBron when it came to Hong Kong, as soon a stance would hurt his bottom dollar the guy was like fuck that. Look I've got no problem with that as well, you gotta look out for yourself but it does make him a hypocrite.

                goon A lot of these celebrities are like that, these people have no morals to begin with and they will go in whichever direction the wind blows.

                It's not fucking fair play with the things he's been saying in media. 😂

                Youre basically saying "I've got no issues with this because these people have no morals" but you don't explain why it's apparently not a problem to not have any morals.
