Reporter: ‘Can you say, Jordan, why you wanted to make a transfer to Monaco?’
Henderson: ‘Based on what, again?’
Reporter: ‘The coach just told us you wanted to go to Monaco.’
Henderson: ‘The coach told you that I wanted to go to Monaco?’
Reporter: ‘Yeah, because you had a big offer.’
Henderson: ‘Because I had a big offer? It’s not true.’
Reporter: ‘Then you have to tell the coach it’s not true.’
Henderson: ‘Yeah.’
Reporter: ‘OK. But did Ajax tell you they wanted to sell you?’
Henderson: ‘Did Ajax say they wanted to sell us? Well, they were negotiating, so I would imagine they did, yeah.’
Reporter: ‘They were negotiating with Monaco?’
Henderson: ‘For a fee, yeah.’
Reporter: ‘You wanted to transfer for free?’
Henderson: ‘No, no, no. They were negotiating the fee. But, again, Mike, it’s not about the details. I’m not giving you details. I know the truth. I know what happened. I’m not here to tell you details. I’m just here to tell you, from my side…’
Reporter: ‘You say it’s not true. Can you give details?’
Henderson: ‘No, I don’t need to. I don’t need to. You can, though. It sounds like you can anyway.’
Reporter: ‘I think you read it.’
Henderson: ‘Eh? Yeah, yeah. And it was untrue.’
Reporter: ‘What was untrue, please?’
Henderson: ’99 per cent of it.’
Reporter: ‘Yeah, but what? Give an example.’
Henderson: ‘What part? The bit before the game or the bit after?’
Reporter: ‘How did he convince you to stay?’
Henderson: ‘It wasn’t him. And he didn’t need to convince us.’
Reporter: ‘Who convinced you to stay?’
Henderson: ‘Nobody convinced me. Again, you’re going into the detail. It’s not about the detail.’
Reporter: ‘But you know the details. Give us the details. If you tell us it’s not true…’
Henderson: ‘No, no, no, no. I don’t need to. I don’t need to sit here and defend…’
Reporter: ‘Can you imagine that people thought that you wanted to force a transfer?’
Henderson: ‘But why did they think that?’
Reporter: ‘Because of your behaviour on Thursday – not being a captain, not celebrating the second goal…’
Henderson: ‘Yeah, but you don’t know the information. I’ve just explained this.’
Reporter: ‘Not thanking the crowd…’
Henderson: ‘I clapped the crowd when I went off.’
Ajax press officer: ‘You made your point about this. Is there anyone who would like to talk about the game today or maybe looking forward to the next one?’
