Ye poor stuff ed. Not surprised by the reaction to be honest. Its because hes a local lad. Hes absolutely adored at liverpool, has everything there to be a legend and local people dont understand giving that up.
Im caught in the middle. He e have been a proper legend. He has tarnished that now and will fall into the bracket of mcmanmann. Highly respected but not welcomed back with huge open arms. People think he had everything they would die to have. Local, future captain, winning trophies, absolutely worshipped on your home town. He has given that up now.
I wish him all the best. Its anew chapter and its real madrid. Players come and go. This more of an issue as its a free and hes from Liverpool. Totally disagree with shameless burning of shirts. Unique footballer. I hope he does well
Im not just saying this as he is going there but what an absolutely horrible club. Their actions last week after Barca game. The comments on the referees etc. their behaviour constantly is horrendous. Lost a bit of respect for carlo last week as he just stood back and let rudiger etc behave like that.
He goes there he is a nobody. The media will absolutely burn him for any defensive mistakes and fans will turn on him
Very quickly if his defending doesn’t improve. Horrible club bit biggest in the worldHe will be replaced like everyone else.

Ed, I predicted (got this one right!) out of the 3, Trent would be the one leaving.
I think what’s cause irate and upset is the way Trent’s landed himself across with this. One minute at Leicester he’s exhibiting defiant celebrations, the next, he’s in public announcing his intentions. We know he has a good friendship with a certain JB at Real Madrid.
The way fans have taken to this is that in their minds, they’ve placed this in the same bracket as examples in Steve McManaman, Michael Owen, and Raheem Sterling. Sterling for me was the worse and probably Steve McManaman.
Ultimately as Sean rightly points out, players come and go and perhaps fans in the current climate need to take this on board and just appreciate the time they’re here with us. Having said all this, there is more of a distinction in an example of let’s say Firmino to the now Trent where one will be Welcomed and the other likely disregarded.

Yeah that’s fair enough Sean. Crazy stuff but that’s social media I guess. You’re always going to get the idiots writing stuff for attention

Sean, I know what you mean mate. Owen to be fair made that choice. You should never be playing for your arch-rivals. In my books that’s just wrong.
Our fans really do show their loyalties above and beyond. They are equally therefore right to change their attitudes/feelings towards them when they are disloyal or just sell themselves for the sake of a supposed better life and wealth that comes with it.
If you have shirts you no longer require or articles, simply put them in a black bag and donate it to Charity rather than to burn. There’s no need to resort to such behaviour!

Ed, yeah, social media as you know spreads like wildfire and it’s easy for people to jump on the wagon without taking a slight step back and think of the Context.

I do think fans, of all clubs I hasten to add, are hypocrites when it comes to players, the moment the player in question doesn’t do what the fans think is “best” for the club they become public enemy #1, yet turn a blind eye when clubs, all clubs, treat players like cattle…
I don’t have a lot of sympathy for any multi-millionaire who’s made his fortune kicking a ball about, good luck to them for doing so, but how anybody can blame them for acting in their own best interests in a “professional” capacity is beyond me.
To use TAA as an example, why are the players blaming him when it was the club who allowed him to run down his contract… they could have been offering him extensions years ago to try and keep him.

Chucks, yeah all good and fair points mate. So the assumption on social media is that it was Trent that ran down his contract. He’s 26 so I’d have thought he would have been approached at some point about a new deal.
If his intentions all along were to leave than so be it. From an LFC fans perspective, they should try and accept this decision and look forward to the up and coming celebrations of the Title. I mean the last one was 35 years back!
And, why not turn their focus on players who do want to commit themselves like Andrew Robertson. I’m sure if Kerkez does come this summer, he’ll need a senior in the dressing room to show him the way.

Liverpool should be happy his going. Horrible demeanor about him plus a very sort of hateful face. Fit in well with Real Madrid.

True Rover. Between now and the end of the month though is ‘managing the situation’ and what happens next, i.e. does he attend the Parade? Title Celebrations? I mean he shouldn’t ultimately be frozen out. How will his team-mates take to him? So this is all centred what this all now will look like for the club, players and supporters.

Banjo, totally agree. All fans are hypocrites and fickle as feck mate
In fairness club offered trent a whopper contract in april 2024 to make him the highest full back about but his head was been turned then.
Nil, i hope the fans dont give him a hard time. It would be terrible when celebrating a league title to be booing someone who has massively contributed to this seasons success. Always support our players when they have the jersey on. Let him enjoy celebrations and parade and we move on

Does sound like his head was turned yonks ago if that be true, waspy….
One other thing I never get is this attraction to Real Madrid anyway, so they might be the biggest club in the world (certainly not in my house! 🙂 ), and I can understand the “locals” busting a nut to play for them, but any player from abroad is only going to be a footnote in that clubs history, and lets be honest, if there ever was a club who treats players like cattle it’s them… as you say, horrible club… I just don’t get it.

To be fair, apart from Barca and the other Madrid team, he’s only going to be “found out” in the quarters onwards in the Champions league… all other games are just shooting fish in a barrel… considering it’s most likely Alonso will be taking over in the summer and the way he’s plays his FB’s, I think TAA could actually do really well…
Saw a stat the other day, by all accounts since Alonso took over his “FB’s” have contributed something like 70 plus goals/assists in two seasons… did seem a lot to me but I wasn’t counting… sounds like he could very well be operating more like a wing-back than a full-back…
Who knows?!!?

If you look at examples of players that have thought at the time the grass was going to be greener be it Barca or Real, they reach the stage where for one reason or another after the honeymoon period that they are frozen out to the point where they return to the Prem or go elsewhere. It’s taken a hampering to their careers. Coutinho one example.
