Ex-player Trent Alexander-Arnold

Puerile

It’s funny because it’s revisionism, and I’m sure it’s tongue in cheek.

Ok
I will differ with you on this because I really don’t think its funny. But each to their own.

Well 4 people gave me laughing emoji, so neener, neener, neener.

Yeah, starting with ‘its great for everyone, except some obviously’. He would be using a very different tone if the player was leaving Real.

Fuck. Right. Off. White meringues (or whatever the viruses call themselves).

Ramos’s balls and prizemoney for a couple of CL for a start.

These fucking Real Madrid lickspittles declare everyone Madrid sign to be the second coming of Maradona.

The truth for Trent is that Madrid are as likely to chew him up and spit him out as they are to make him a super star.

And I know he wants to win the Balon d’or. But he’s just made it a lot fucking harder for himself. If Madrid have the kind of season that puts their players in line for that award, it won’t be the right back that gets it. Sorry Trent.

He’ll end up with a similar amount of appearances to the likes of Graeme Souness and Alan Kennedy. He wants a new challenge so fair enough. YNWA

When you hear that RM have supposedly been in Trents ear for 2 years and supposedly saying that they only want him on a free, surely this is tapping up.

I do wish someone would have the balls and the evidence to pull RM in line, although they aren’t the only ones but are the worst for it.

Also, if I was Trent, I would think, oh I am only good enough on a free and tell them to take a running jump.

It’ll have been sold as ‘wait and see the size of the signing on fee you’ll receive’.

Plus Jude will have been in his ear.

I’m over it all. Its his life.

The clubs circumstances significantly changed when Edward’s left and Klopp gained more power, causing some instability. From there on in its been an uncertain time. It’s The understandable that the three didnt sign deals.

The blame lies with the clubs owners due to their succession plan for Edwards going south, or maybe giving Klopp too much control.

Trent could’ve had Real or leaving in general for such a club in his mind as a possibility (or why would you even 100% exclude that, looking so far ahead?) ages ago.

Real could’ve had a player like him on their list ages ago. Even more so if their situation at RB and in defence in general was such that it would be a place of focus soon.

There could’ve been some sort of communication between two camps without breaking any rules. Nobody can prevent people from talking at any point in the year. Everyone does it, happens all the time. If people think proper talks start on July 1st, they’re deluded.

Just the other day, Thommo was talking about how we were bringing Cisse (meeting him in Paris) to Liverpool much before it was done (unfortunately, because I think Rafa wouldn’t have approved it if it had been his decision, but that’s for another story). It was a relatively open secret in the context of that time. I don’t think Auxerre could moan about anything. Journalists find out stuff, what can you do. And that wasn’t a free deal like Trent’s. Of course it’s almost impossible for this deal to remain silent.

My first “clue” or the first bit of “look at this” feeling with Trent was when he only signed a 4-year deal on his last signature.

He left the door a bit open to decide what he would do when his career comes to a point where the next 4-5 years of a lot of players’ peaks (26-30ish, not a rule though). Is it still and possibly Liverpool forever then, or maybe time for something new.

Then we have our terrible 22/23 season, things changing behind the scenes, lots of people in the directive layer (who would lead such negotiations) leaving, then Klopp, etc.

He ended that 22/23 on a high note, playing some of his best football. Then had that pre-season in which he said he put big focus on his physicality.

It maybe also has to do with him willing to experience something new altogether, not only Real, but Spain. Everything which I can understand. He also wants to win more and yes, Real have won more important trophies in last years than us. Great players, improved stadium, etc.

I just hope that this doesn’t spoil our last games together, we win this title together, celebrate it the way it should be celebrated and wish each other the best of luck at the end.

It’s the only right way to do it.
