I really respect him for that and hope he does well for Liverpool.

Turned down Chelsea and it sounds like 2-3m a year, because he would be their perm RWB, he's not playing CM ahead of Kante, Cesc, or Bakayoko
At least at Liverpool, he will get playing time there. Can, Hendo, and Winaljdum is not an unbreakable triumvirate
