What do you think the Anfield crowd will do when they see Trent jogging back to a break when we all know he’s off?
Echo have rubbished the reports which have come from the Real Madrid paper mouthpiece
They didn’t rubbish crump though.
I just remembered it's where Mohammed Atta started recruiting for 9/11.
No way, will the tour guide get the joke if I ask him on the way around?
Honestly, what is the alternative for next 6 months as it is?
Oh he's getting boo'ed
If Bradley is fit then play him.

So it is Marca shit-stirring, after all.
Always is part of their plan. Unsettle the fans, fans turn on player, player becomes unsettled and disillusioned. Player signs for Spanish team because they are so nice like that.
As if fans would turn on a local legend based on nothing but media rumours and social media posts.
Still can't see him staying. Romano just parrots whatever real journalists say and they're split. I dunno, I heard from a decent source that he was off before it was all over twitter and they haven't changed their message. I guess anything is possible in the next few days but it doesn't look positive.
I was upset when I heard the news but knew the news could be bull too. I think having him here till the summer makes more sense. I am sure he would rather leave on a high.
I made this post in the summer, the club's relaxed approach has led to this impasse, they should have at the very least sorted Trent's contract or sold him in the summer. Hopefully Edwards sorts this mess out
Owen at least left in a way which got us a bit of a fee. The McMoneyman comparison is bang to rights though.
This narrative of “we should have sorted out Trent’s contract or sold him in the summer” does my head in.
Trent isn’t a passive part of this process - he can say no or yes to any deal for us or from any club we would have sold him to.
His contract should have been sewn up the summer before - but Julian Ward leaving and big Klopp’s mate logging on from his laptop in Ibiza for a few months scuppered that - that’s were FSG dropped the ball, but I guess they weren’t expecting Klopp to leave.
There no way Hughes first act on arrival was going to try and sell Trent against his will - that would have just made the furious ones even more furious.
It’s also entirely reasonable for a player of Trent’s ability and age, to be hesitant at committing the rest of his career with a new manager coming in - he was visibly devastated at Klopp leaving - you’d want to see what the new man is like first - that’s entirely reasonable.
I also have no problem with him trying to leverage “Mo level” wages out of us - he’s vice captain, one of the best in the world in his position, uniquely skilled in that position and in his prime years.
That’s all normal and sensible behaviour.
All we can do is offer the best deal we can within the framework we’re prepared to work with, then it’s up to him to - but don’t kid yourself we could have sold him in the summer or that he’s been sitting around with a pen in his hand just waiting on a contract offer from us.
I still think he’ll sign a new contract with us.
Add in he probably would only move to Madrid who no longer pay Galactico transfer fees. They would’ve held out 12 months.
Think we’ll sell in Jan or let him go on a free?
Madrid won’t pay us a penny for him so he is staying.
If he goes on a free it'll be because he and his people have created that situation. Binomial's frankly unhinged views about Edwards and Hughes notwithstanding, there's no way on this planet that the club will simply "let" the player leave for nothing.
Absolutely.
You have to think, this is not “just” about money - it’s not as if we’ll be offering him a pittance.
If it’s in any way football related, then he’s off his rocker wanting to leave us and go to Madrid at this moment in time - despite what his Bellend mate is telling him about life in Madrid.
The thing I don’t get, is the level of vitriolic abuse levelled at him - is there a sort of expectation, particularly from locals, that because he’s a local lad “living the dream” is he supposed to just be thankful and shut the fuck up.
Also…. and I’m posing this as a question, being devil’s advocate here… Is there an underlying racial thing at play here also?
I pose these questions, because from afar, it often feels like Trent gets a harder time from our fans than other local kids that have come through the ranks - I don’t quite get it.
It’s not racial. We fucking hate Owen and we even got some change for him.
Yeah… but he was really Welsh… hatred is sort of forgivable.
Well, I want Trent to stay but if he decides to go, I would want him to do more than not derail this season. I would want him to do everything he can to win another title and maybe another European Cup.
