We are going to miss Trent. Was a driving force this season with Salah to the title. Such a pivotal player.
I am so disappointed he decided to leave.
Now off to change my avatar.

Grav is a good choice. Worried you may pick Ibou and we have a repeat in 12 months

Trent is absolutely crushed with this.

There’s a sense in which we all become body language experts when the cameras are on and we are watching them closely. In this instance there is a story with Trent, and even though he made his decision, I’m as certain as can be that it wasn’t easy, and there will be some regrets and what-ifs wrapped up in it for him. He was deep in thought in the midst of the celebrations and it would be natural for him to be thinking about his decision to leave all that behind.
He is moving on, and so are we.
On a human level I hope he does well, but as a football fan I don’t want Real Madrid to win anything. Don’t like them! On our end it would be lovely if Slot made winning the league a bit of a habit, and also managed to win the CL. It’s not too far fetched to imagine us facing Real Madrid at the sharp end of the CL in the next couple of years. It will all add to the spice of the occasion if and when it happens.

You never know. Maybe he’ll do a Ian Rush and be back next summer, eh?
Maybe Madrid might send him back to us on a free

Probably the most likely scenario.
They will send him back if we end up playing them in the CL final, and he gives a penalty away to us :0)

Or he could crock Mbappe and Sid Vicious in training.

I’ve no doubt hell be a success, but if he were to leave in a year or 2 it won’t be back to us.

I have a channel called Premier League TV included in my SP subscription and I would like to know what is the source of content because it is “unmarked” - is it Sky or someone else? Owen, Given and Martin O’Neill were the commentators in the studio if that’s of any help.
I’m asking because they kept milking TAA’s departure as it was Stevie or Kenny leaving the club. At one point, Van Dijk was giving his big speech but the camera kept showing TAA and they were looking for every semblance of emotion from his end. Pathetic, really.

Every time in the past week when I get on TAN, I’m surprised to see this thread still open…

There is still the random Huff and Puff here in the thread where certain people needs to show their dominance, but it is improving now that it is over. Since there were no boos on the last game, there is not much more to say for those who had a lot to say (I would fucking hope). A bonfire can only burn for so long when not fueled, after all.
Good luck in life, Trent (but not at Real Madrid)!

I dont like that tbh, again too much attention on his tears etc imo.This should be a celebration.

It is a celebration. You posted a video with a certain ( badly constructed, in my view) caption on it. It doesn’t really show anything dramatic at all, but a normal celebration. No need for the drama caption.

Sometimes we do have to go out there to realise all the good things we already have. I am sure he will appreciate this new adventure, for good or for bad. He has given us his all, even if his all is flawed but still being one of the best RB in the world, a defender who had more assists than some playmakers do, winning everything he could in club football, thanks for the 2 decades.

Interesting seeing Fowler talking about something very similar, he said he had become a little blaise about life with LFC and it took him going somewhere else then returning to realise just how special Liverpool and the fans are and what playing for us means more.

Trent has spent his whole life in Liverpool, it makes sense that he’d want to broaden his horizons. He seems to have stagnated a bit in his professional development, and I can see how moving on could help him grow as a player. Real Madrid is obviously a club of enormous size and ambition. I don’t blame him for wanting to go.
I don’t know if it’ll work out for him, though. He’s been coddled in red in a way that he won’t be playing for RM. His defensive failings will be under an enormous microscope without the backing of the supporters. He will be far outside of his comfort zone.
I’ve always believed that the most personal and professional growth comes from being placed in uncomfortable situations and learning how to thrive within them. Perhaps Trent will learn to thrive. Perhaps he’ll find himself on the outside of the squad looking in this time next year, angling for a return back. We shall see. But I’ll credit him for making the tough choice and accepting the challenge, even if I am disappointed in the decision and its timing.
I wish him the best, except against us.

Can you not give it a f**king rest?
The hypocrisy you have to be so angry at people for booing someone whilst at the same time calling people scum and cunts is ridiculous.
