Trent, Salah and VVD

What happens if he stays but everyone knows he is leaving to Madrid? Does he get a send off?! How would the crowd react?
I just want him to go and us sign a replacement, this did not happen without his agents consent. He wants to go to a European Rival. What the fuck is that ? You are a local boy who plays for one of the worlds biggest clubs you fuckwit.
 
This seems like a strange move by Madrid.
Are they desperately in need of a right back for the next three/ four months.
Are they trying to put pressure on Trent and/or Liverpool.
Are they worried they the might not get him in the summer if they wait till then.

checking the last couple of matches it looks like they’re playing a 33 year old midfielder who has only ever been a squad player at right back, looks like they could use trent asap
 
From the Athletic:


Is there still a chance Liverpool could sell Alexander-Arnold in this winter window?

Highly unlikely.


When Madrid contacted Liverpool’s hierarchy on Tuesday to enquire whether a deal could be done in January, the Premier League club made it clear they had no interest in negotiating and no figures were discussed.

That stance is understandable. With Liverpool challenging for glory both domestically and in Europe at the moment, they will not want to lose their influential vice-captain mid-season, even if the prospect of him leaving for nothing in the summer is looming large. If Alexander-Arnold goes on to play a starring role in Liverpool winning a 20th top-flight crown and/or a seventh European Cup, it would benefit the club more financially than accepting a cut-price fee before the window shuts on Monday, February 3.

It might be different if all the uncertainty was proving a distraction but Slot has been delighted by Alexander-Arnold’s form and focus.

His commitment to the Liverpool cause was underlined after the October international break, when he continued to play for the club despite suffering a side strain during England’s game in Finland. Conor Bradley, his deputy at right-back, was also injured at the time and Alexander-Arnold was determined to keep playing, and received painkilling injections before matches to manage the issue.
Alexander-Arnold is thoroughly enjoying his football under Slot and the player has no doubts that Liverpool will enjoy significant success under the Dutch coach, who succeeded Jurgen Klopp last summer.

“The level of detail he has, I find myself smiling about it because that’s the kind of thing that I really enjoy,” he recently told UK broadcaster Sky Sports. “It’s just football in a very, very in-depth level.
 
So there's really only one way to interpret Trents' "all talk" celebration the other night, right? As a deliberate reference to Bellingham's identical gesture a couple of years ago? There's no way it's a coincidence.

I'm really struggling to see how that doesn't make him a complete fucking bellend.
100% this. Extremely hard to justify it unless he’s about to sign a new deal with us. That would be numerous then.
 
Agree with Carra, it's getting kinda tiresome. At this point the entire world knows he has long decided to go to Real and is on some sort of damage control now.

The "I don't discuss my contract in public", the finger to the lips, no one is buying it. Don't insult our intelligence.

Now win us the league and the CL and sod off.
I don’t like Carra basically calling him out in public though. He did it with Salah too and it wasn’t well received in the dressing room. I’d rather he didn’t say shit like this.
 
So, here's the decision. Which would you pick?

A. Take a fee of approx Euro 10-20M for TAA now, SELL and lose him for the season now
B. Keep a hold of a player who has signed on the sly for another club - and all the dressing room shite that involves, till end of the season
Keep him. The players won’t give a fuck, they want trophies and he will help us get at least one of the biggest ones.
 
I don't get the "If Real Madrid come calling you have to go..."

Not a good club to play for, IMHO. Horrific fans, horrific media, plus you've pissed off all your fans back home.
You might not agree but how can you say the pull of the most successfully, well known and celebrated club in world football is something you don’t understand for the majority of football players?

I mean I did call it on the day that's what it meant.

If he’s lifting a big trophy then he’ll get a decent reaction imo. It will show though he’s going for the experience and Spainish trophies, not the domestic trophies as he’s set to win everything here.
 
If I was Trent I would stay till the end of the season, He is on cusp of winning a PL title, something rare for us. Who can we get for RB in Jan that's half decent? One thing we won't miss is Trent's corners and free kicks

Maybe not good for him as a media personality, but he's just letting the fan in him do the talking at times.
He's saying what we're all thinking.
 
I need therapy if Trent goes like,

A new RB
A Marmoush
A Hato
A Zubi

Yeah that would make up for it.
Have you seen Hato play. The kid is a very aggressive defender. Always goes to ground.
He'll be a red/yellow card magnet.
 
Doesn’t that show him and his team the kind of gobshites he’s going to be working with. You’d expect a transfer to be completed with both parties wanting what’s best. Them doing this IF Trent wants it low key already creates friction.
Nah, they’d be having him buy into the you are the best club in the world now, you are one of us. Everyone else dreams of being as good as you are to be given the opportunity to pull on the famous white. And sadly he’ll be eating that shit up.
 
If he is going to sign for Madrid he is 100% making the wrong decision in the same way Henderson did. He could have had all the cake and eaten it.
Not even remotely close to the same thing is it? It’s actually not like any previous transfer. He’s going to the biggest club in the world but at a time where we look the best in form team in the world.

Are they desperately in need of a right back for the next three/ four months.

They want to win the CL this year and it strengthens them while weakening the fav for the trophy.
 
I need therapy if Trent goes like,

A new RB = £30m
A Marmoush = £50m
A Hato = £40m
A Zubi = £50m
A CB = £50m
Yeah that would make up for it.
We haven't got £220m. If we sell Darwin+Kev+Morton+Kaide Gordon+ Robbo = £130-140m then may be but I doubt we will ever see this many new recruits
 
Nah, they’d be having him buy into the you are the best club in the world now, you are one of us. Everyone else dreams of being as good as you are to be given the opportunity to pull on the famous white. And sadly he’ll be eating that shit up.
Which shows he gave the green light to the approach and deserves a fucking hiding.

Didn’t know about the injections. That’s a great attribute. Hopefully he decides he’d rather be a Liverpool legend than just another successful player at Madrid.
