Yep.

Anyone who goes to that shithole of a country (I hold no ill will to the people of Saudi, you can't help where you're born, but the government can get to absolute fuck) and helps prop up the sportswashing is an absolute c*nt. Fab, Bobby, Gerrard, Fowler, Henderson. All absolute wastes of skin.

I wish him and Henderson well.  Both vital for us at the peak of their powers.  It would have been interesting to see how long Klopp was willing to keep them if they both didn't push for a move away but that's probably a whole other discussion. 
Well we'll never have conclusive proof but I think you can tell a lot from both Henderson and Fabinho's representatives during these transfers.

Henderson's representatives clearly thought they could arrange for his contract to be cancelled so he could move on a free transfer, with his new club being shocked to learn LFC might want a fee, and Fabinho's people were in discussions with Bayern for a ~£10mil move (as a backup, in the weeks since the club immediately accepted the offer for him to leave).

These two guys obviously sought out the Saudi cash, but I don't think that there can be any illusions (especially given what we've learnt on how they both perceive themselves in footballing terms) that Klopp was really keen to keep them both

At his best, he was THE best in his position in world football. The tonic the club needed after that loss to Real Madrid and he was the missing piece in our winning machine that Jurgen created. Best insurance policy we had in that midfield but last season showed that it was time to move him on.

Thank you Fabinho Tavares 🇧🇷

The two years during which we won the CL and the EPL were the two years he was the best defensive midfielder in the world.

Ali - Virg - Fab - Bobby was the spine of that historic team.

Unforgettable individual performance in that win over Barcelona at Anfield.

All the best, Lighthouse.

Amazing how many posters swallow their principles for £40m isn't it. Can't believe posters are wishing him well when he is going to be a puppet for an abhorrent brutal regime.

In footballing terms, it helps us with the transition though that only depends on who we can get in.

Can't believe he's taking the money and accepting the end of his career at the top though. It's meant that we have had to take blood money for it but I don't blame the club for that, we can only do the best from a bad situation.

Thanks for everything Fab, think you at least had a comeback season in you and so disappointed that you chose them, though of course its nowhere near the disappointment I have for Hendo.

I wish him well. It’s sad it’s come to him essentially retiring so young. At his best there was not a number 6 better than him. He turned up on the big occasion time and time again, and saved his best performance for Barcelona at home. Our best midfielder since Gerrard, but unfortunately can’t play in this system anymore.

Like with a lot of these players, it feels like he hasn’t even been here that long. Time has flown.

LFC's achillies heel is that we're a business. The owners have to listen to reasonable offers for players, especially when said players' heads have been turned by offers of stupid money wages.

Sickens me that we've had to take this money, but the club has little choice. We could have said no, but other than that extra season from Suarez and the half season by Coutinho, FSG have never tried to hold onto a player who didn't want to be here.

That doesn't point to a moral vacuum at the club. It just shows we work in financial reality when compared to Newcastle, City, Chelsea and United.

Its horrible isn't it. The club has two players, one who was going to play less games and another who may or may not have featured a lot, being offered disgusting amounts of cash and both decided they wanted to get on the sportswashing train. As a business, we have to sell them, it leaves a sour taste. Meanwhile, Fabinho, Henderson, Bobby, Mane, Gerrard and Fowler will all be paraded about with their LFC connections, to make a brutal evil regime (I'm talking about the sheik, not the ordinary Saudi people) look better in the eyes of the world and to those LFC fans who don't give a fuck about anything but money and shiny pots.

Will you keep the same energy for the club in accepting the money? If we didn't want Hendo or Fab anymore and we had no offers from other clubs, we could have let them go for free and kept our moral fibre in tact........

Agreed. What's even more peculiar is those who feel the need to question the morals and principles of posters who have done nothing more than wish Hendo and Fab well in their future endeavours. I mean, you have to be a special level of self-absorbed to come onto a football forum and subject ordinary football fans to your hyper-moral world views, when all said fans have done is display good will towards 2 players who were central to the clubs recent successes.

And before anyone pounces on me, just let me say in plain english, that I do not agree with or condone Saudi Arabian law. Nor do I endorse the financial practices of its Government. I simply feel it is the prerogative of professional footballers to undertake their profession wherever they please without being accused of condoning the views of a government. For me, to do so would be akin to accusing green card holders of being pro-gun lunatics insensitive to the ongoing mass murder of innocent civilians. Assuming of course that the same hyper-moral standards apply to that issue also?     

Absolute horse shit.

Another player who sold their principles for MORE money to support the sportwashing efforts of a brutal regime.

Speaking of morals and principles Titi, if you don't mind me asking:

What's your stance on the fact that our club (which is an institution representative of our collective values & identities) has chosen to engage in business dealings with said brutal regime? Surely the fact that LFC has participated in this transaction (and also the transaction involved in Henderson's transfer) means that the club WE ALL SUPPORT  are enabling the Saudi's to continue with their sportswashing M.O? Am I right?

I'm just curious, what exactly is your stance on that mate? Do you have a stance on it? If not, why not? If you do have one, would you care to share what it is exactly? And how you intend to display your disapproval towards our current custodians for taking Saudi blood money and putting it in LFC coffers? Will you be refusing to show support for the players we buy with that blood money? Or will you be conveniently shutting your mouth and turning a blind eye to it all?

The only reason I ask mate, is I assume that if you're going to question 2 former players for supposedly "supporting" this evil and brutal regime, then surely you must, by extension, hold LFC to the same moral standards? Because if you don't mate, and if you've no intention of protesting our own participation in all this, then we're all just collectively talking out of our arses, aren't we?

The use of terms like narcissistic, self aggrandizing and virtue signalling in an attempt to defend Saudi Arabia's sportswashing shows a truly breathtaking lack of awareness.

Appreciating how fine a player Fabinho was and thanking him for his services to the football club are one thing but wishing him well, when you know what his role in Saudi Arabia will be is completely morally wrong.

But I hope Henderson has sleepless nights over his life choices and comes to bitterly regret ever taking the Saudi coin.

Oh and yeah some of us, the main virtue-signalling lads, also think FSG are pricks and would have preferred that they turned down the Saudi money too. but 9/10 effort for whataboutery.

The use of terms like narcissistic, self aggrandizing and virtue signalling in an attempt to defend Saudi Arabia's sportswashing shows a truly breathtaking lack of awareness.

Seeing as yourself and many others have taken it upon yourselves to be the gate keepers of morality, I assume you're currently working on a decree instructing all fans to boycott the club for their shameful willingness to accept Saudi blood money? I mean, if we're running with the idea that anyone who has anything to do with these fuckers are "lacking awareness" and are "without morals", then why not run all the way with it? And actually apply it to everyone? Or is that a can of worms that (behind all the virtue signalling) you ultimately can't be arsed opening?

Anyone who takes the Saudi money is directly assisting in sportswashing

That would include Liverpool Football Club then, yeah? Seems to me that admitting that fact requires an admission of hypocrisy that's too hard for some of our fans to handle? Having read through the thread, it seems most want to lay all the "taking of blood money" and "enabling sportwashing" at the feet of Fab and Hendo, whilst conveniently ignoring the fact that the club have just dipped OUR NOSES in the same trough

As Michael Corleone said in Godfather 2: "We're all part of the same hypocrisy senator"
