If it's true TAA has agreed terms with Real Madrid he should not play again this season. It shows a complete lack of respect if it's true. I know it's Marca but there could be something in it.

He’ll be professional whichever way it goes. I wish the lad well either way but would prefer clarity. He’s given the club 20 years service and gets dogs abuse when not warranted.

And if it's not true then you should not post on here for the rest of the season.

The Spanish press said the same about Alphonso Davies and he's actually signing a new deal with Bayern. Wouldn't read too much into it.

That’s called cutting your nose off to spite your face.

So childish. I want to have the best chance of winning and if Trent goes at the end of the season I’ll be gutted, thank him for all he’s done and wish him luck.

I say if he's our best choice, play him. We don't know what's holding up the talks or if he's agreed to join RM.

The if's and but's bandwagon is just us contributing to a negative narrative over our homegrown vice-captain who have done so much.

Judge him at the end of the season if you want, but not now.

Not playing one of the best right backs in the world that you're paid the best part of £200k a week when you're chasing a title. No sure that's the most sensible thing to do to be honest.

The hypocrisy. Marmadashvili, Keita, Origi etc. Did you have an issue with them when they agreed to sign for Liverpool and then played out another year at Valencia, Leipzig and Lille? This literally happens all the time in football. Professional players got to that level through sheer force of will to be the best they can be. You honestly think that with 4 trophies still available, Trent would give anything less than 100%?

Why does it show lack of respect? he's able to sign the contract this month, who can blame him if he does go? I know a lot will but no blame from me that's for sure, I wish the lad the best of luck if he does go but in the meantime we should absolutely still play him because 1. He's the best RB we have and 2. He's still on our books been paid by us, you want him to sit and rot because you're not happy that he may be leaving? give it a rest.

If it’s true (if being the caveat), then we only have ourselves to blame here. Leaving it so late to deal with things like this leaves us open to others making offers we may not be able to match. As it is, if he’s being offered a substantial uplift in salary and a playing for a club where he’s likely to win the league and champions league more often than not, then it probably is a very tempting offer. My ire is saved for those who took their eye off the ball and allowed it to get this far.

There’s something like eighty players finishing contracts in the premier this year, it happens all the time sometimes club want that, sometimes the player.

The only thing with us is it’s three of our top four or five most experienced players, which looks like bad planning in terms of why put them on contracts that expired around the same time rather than stagger it.

Truth is though with VVD and Mo very few people would have expected them to still be showing this fitness and form as they come to the end of their deals at their ages, it would have been really risky to give them longer deals originally. Trent is a different issue.

They may yet sign, who knows what’s going on in their heads.

I agree to play Trent, not many can ping passes like him. however I just think we might be better with Bradley for a few games, to tighten up at the back. Until alli and konate get back to speed.

It shows a lack of respect to TAA and Slot. I wonder what Slot's reaction would be to being told who he can and can't pick.
And I wonder what Salah and van Dijk would think. It'd amount to blackmail.

The scrutiny in Trent's defending is over the top for me. Bradley has been at fault for a couple of goals this season too, where he either let a winger go past him or was caught out of position but nothing has been mentioned of it. Not saying that we should get on Bradley's back though, just pointing out that Trent's defending is being harshly used as a stick to beat him with.

I wish I could agree to a new job and have my old one pay me to sit at home for 6 months.

If he’s leaving we should get every drop out of him play him until his body can’t play anymore and let Madrid deal with it after.


18.) 16 Jan 2025
16 Jan 2025 15:57:31
Absolutely not onekiss. I want him to do well wherever he may end up. Thinking that way is silly, we should be wanting the best for one of our own, he's shown nothing but respect for the club and the fans so why can't fans show him the same respect he deserves?


19.) 16 Jan 2025

It’s being covered fairly widely both in England and Spain that he’s going to announce soon. Good luck to him in Madrid, I think it’ll really suit him playing wise to be honest, and it’s a great way for him to end his peak playing years. Hopefully he doesn’t score against us in the champions league. I think Connors ready to step up.

He certainly didn’t show respect v Man U recently. Walking and watching our biggest rivals score against us at home. Trent should be judged at the end of the season like everyone else.
There are games where I would start Bradley ahead of Trent.

I know Rigsby, it's just a comment on how ridiculous I find this whole "He shouldn't play again if he's signed a new contract somewhere else" opinion. It's some of the dumbest flummery I've ever heard in my life.

All I want from Trent is for him to give his all, blood sweat and tears (of joy) until the last game of season. However I personally think he should come out with a statement confirming he has decided to leave for Real Madrid but hopes 1 day to return to the club he loves and finish his career. Think the fans would appreciate that more myself and cheer him every game as they should… been a great.


24.) 16 Jan 2025

I agree a statement would be great on Trent, and a dignified way to close this off. Be better than it hanging around unsaid for any longer once a decision is reached.

Nice to conclude all three actually, even if that’s to confirm that they’re all going to leave. The more you think about this even though the media focus has moved on for now it’s not good for it to be unresolved, no matter how professional they are it must be a distraction and from the club and fan point of view we need to move on and focus on the future.

MK, your point isn't true though. Those players were signed by us and then stayed on loan.
TAA, if he has agreed to go, isn't staying with us on loan but as our own player and then leaves. So, yes his actions would ve different to those you mentioned.


26.) 16 Jan 2025
16 Jan 2025 20:17:51
Bazzinga, It’s ultimately the same concept though. You’re just on a 12 month delay instead of a 6 month delay. Lot’s of teams sign players and then wait for them to join at a later date was my point. Whether it’s pre-contract, or loan back, neither are remotely disrespectful. What’s disrespectful is people looking for reasons to hate a guy who will be remembered as a Liverpool legend one day, regardless of whether he stays.

{Ed025's Note - not sure about the legend status MK..

drop him if he is playing poorly.

ya don't drop your best players just cos you're feelings are hurt.
