Thing is the likes of Joyce and Reddy to a certain extent don’t need to be first. They’ve got their position though Reddy has become more Man Utd related since her move to Sky.
It’s all about being first though and bald frauds YouTube tossers like that one who made up that Zubimendi song feed off it.
Very much could be. Or could be to start a fire and let Trent see that sailing into the sunset as a legend is unlikely. Give him food for thought.

I am not even sure he is that injured to not play the Everton match. The timing of the news leak of him just possibly signing for Real was suspicious. He might have to stay out of the limelight for a while. I am even thinking unless necessary, he will not play the rest of season until things are confirmed and sorted.

Some stupid cunts had posters outside the ground, asking him if its loyalty or lolly.
Thick fuckers have zero clue and fuck all loyalty themselves treating any current player like that. Particularly someone with Trents record for us.

Employee walks into his boss’s office:
“Boss, I’ve been with this company for over twenty years and, frankly, I need a change of scenery. I’ve been offered a job overseas for more money, with better weather to boot. Even if you matched the wage, I still want to leave. I have come to let you know that I am accepting the offer.”
Boss:
“We’re sorry to see you go, but we fully understand your reasoning, so it’s with a heavy heart that we see you go. You have always shown great loyalty and tried your best. We wish you the best of luck with your future; please know that you’re always welcome back here.”
Why is it only in football that such a mundane conversation leads to such vitriolic over-reactions?

I think the prevalence of a (massive) transfer fee in football makes a big difference.
I think it’d be a lot closer to the second for Trent if he signed a new deal and was able to add… “I’ve ensured that you will receive enough money to replace me adequately” rather than. “I’m fucking off, getting a massive bonus for jumping ship. Thanks for developing me and treating me so well, enjoy spending 50m to replace me.”

I’ve read that if RM want him to play in the Club World Cup in June… they may pay a token sum for TAA to be released early
That’s just I’m not exactly sure what to say.

Nah.
We got him without needing to spend any money. That allowed us to spend money on other fronts. The way I see it, he’s already repaid whatever transfer fee to us before hand.

And whatever money that Trent would be getting there at RM would have had to be matched by us over here if it was a bidding war.
He’s done his time. He’s given us the moments. I’ll be sad that he’s leaving but it’s not the end of. No matter what he continues to achieve in RM , he’ll be a Liverpool legend first up.

You hit the nail on the head. Football contracts have always been different to ‘normal’ working ones. And TAA could have played this differently. Of course that makes a difference - look at how, for instance, Owen is thought of compared to Alonso.
Makes a nice conspiracy theory

I think the club told him that they want him at RIght Midfield (RM) but told him only in acronyms…

Always leaves a bad taste when the constant social media types speak for others.
We as a fan of the club shouldn’t really care about fees and so on that’s not why I follow this daft sport.
But sadly it seems all some care about…

I like him and his analysis he is/was part off 442 and the game breakdown of games

I think it was Chris Pajak from redmen TV that summed up why he was angry the best.
His whole ethos started with looking at the likes of why Torres, Suarez, Owen and Macmanaman left saying that they were part of poor performing teams and they could go on to win more.
Then he looked at Trent, like Owen and Macmanan, brought up through the ranks of the club and were/are supporters.
He then said the difference is that Trent has been at Liverpool and won it all and the current team is still on riding the wave and competing for all the trophies and have the ability and foundation to win more.
Finally he said that we as supporters, as Trent is, would/should want to be part of winning more trophies for our club and as true reds we don’t swap our allegiances, supporters don’t do that especially when it is part of making history.
Fans don’t swap teams just for money.
I think, like Pajak also said that Trent is looking at the move purely selfishly and for his ‘Brand’ not as a fan, all of which he is entitled to do and which leaves a little sour taste.
All that said, I do want him to succeed and thrive but not win trophies that we are in for
if you go you still will be remembered for all you did for us, but winning trophies won’t be the same as winning trophies for Liverpool as a supporter and a player.

its quite an old fashioned and tunnel visioned view though…
yes, we as fans dont go swapping the shirt…but we have other choices in our life to try pastures new…
i wish him all the best and COMPLETELY understand that after being at the club for 2/3 of his life, from age 9 onwards, he might want to see what else football has to offer…its totally acceptable and the ‘fact’ he run his contract down is also a bit myopic…how much of this much vaunted increased transfer fee would we have realised if he was pulling extra money through his salary?..granted, wed still be ahead, but wed also have broken our wage structure to do so, with knock on effects to boot…
the kids a legend, and should remain one for the club…a pure entertainer whos been so much fun to watch along the way…some of those passes are from another planet…
football is meant to be fun and he definately made it so…
best of luck TAA, spread you wings with at least my blessing and show the world how good you are!
