Edd001 if Madrid make a huge bid for trent do you see him staying or leaving?
{Ed001's Note - he would prefer to stay.}
17 May 2024 14:23:21
What is Trent even worth now?
17 May 2024 14:11:37
I hope he does Ed001. Must be a slight temptation given he's good mates with Bellingham, but it's a little bit like the Coutinho situation. Stay here and he can be a legend. Go to Madrid and you're just another player who they will replace with a new Galactico without hesitation.
I just hope he stays as a midfielder or a winger. He used to shine there at youth level and got compared to Gerrard. I read a lot that he's too slow but he is actually a very powerful runner. He's not the quickest off the mark and that does hamper him up against explosive wingers, but once he gets going he has that same power that the likes of Gerrard and Vieira had carrying the ball or making a run beyond a team mate. I'd put him in as AM or RW where he looked best at youth level. I have no doubt that he'd smash it in either of those positions.
He's far too good going forward for us to want him to leave so it will surely come down to his decision.

I really hope he stays. Our best player on the ball, no doubt about it. Get him playing further forward.

Trents a boyhood red and his likely ambition will be to captain LFC, win the league and CL with his boyhood club.
Technically he's done all that already and with us about to go through a managerial change how close are we to winning the league and CL title next season or so on.
Real are building a world class squad with the new galacticos of Vinicius, Mbappe and Bellingham etc.
The pull of Real if they do want Trent might be too much.
In 7 months time he can negotiate a free transfer. It seems that all the negotiating power is with the player.

Longthing, What is Trent worth? Whatever any club is willing to pay for him. Seriously tho, I don't think we will sell if he does not make a fuss, which I don't think he will do either. So he stays, IMO.

I'm not connected to professional football in any shape or form, just an avid fan and observer like most on here, since a few decades.
TAA will probably be asking for at least 300K per week, at the least. How many of you want to pay him that much (minimum)?

I personally think Bradley is a more effective right back, I don’t see him as a centre midfielder as he shirks too many challenges too often and doesn’t seem to want to do the dirty work, can’t see him as a number 10 as he hasn’t the vision and intelligence of someone like De Bruyne and that lack of acceleration absolutely marks him out of being a winger at the top level, as you either need a burst of lightning pace or a bag of tricks to get you past a fullback and he has neither. IMHO, I think it time both parties moved on.

I love to see people writing off trent as a midfielder without ever seeing him actually play there. We have a liverpudian born and bred who loves the club and has won a CL and PL with us, and people are like nah he can't be good enough to adapt, yet milner could play everywhere.
Some weird takes on Trent of late.
17 May 2024 20:20:32
He will sign a contract and stay, we'll have to sell others to get the new toys.
18 May 2024 00:17:06
DeanW: so because James Milner exists as a jack of all trades, Trent is good enough to be a midfielder?
18 May 2024 06:35:52
Trent needs a reset and I hope Slot can do that. He's gone backwards over the last few years from being someone who looked like a generational talent to someone who is a genuine liability defensively and doesn't actually look that effective going forward anymore.
{Ed001's Note - what utter nonsense.}
18 May 2024 08:49:55
The hate on TAA is shocking.
Quickly becoming a scapegoat for so many fans. wow!
18 May 2024 09:50:59
MKS when Trent starts to have back "issues", running his mouth in the press (same with his agent which I think is is mom), refusing to train and literally paying reportedly 10m of his own money to force the deal then, we can compare his situation to COutinho's. till then, let's wait and see, shall we?
18 May 2024 10:20:19
What's strange is that some think TAA can't play in midfield because they say he can't defend but they would play him at right back with more defensive responsibility or just sell him. If we sold all our midfielders that can't defend we'd be having another rebuild this summer.
To those that think next season is all about Harvey Elliott: how do you think he would do playing right back?
18 May 2024 17:56:22
My view Rigsby, is that TAA isn’t a particularly good right back as his defending is poor, Bradley is a far superior right back, it’s not even close. I also don’t think he is defensive centre midfield material either, his inability to track runners, reluctance to make challenges and his switching off at vital moments absolutely makes that a non starter and he doesn’t do do enough in a game to be a box to box centre midfielder, I don’t see him as a winger or a number 10 as he hasn’t the electric pace or trickery to be a winger and doesn’t have the intelligence or guile that a top class number 10 should have. Feels to me that he’s a luxury player who we can’t carry. I don’t think he does enough to warrant the hype.

1 of the 2 best passers in the league, will be the best if moved into midfield alongside another No.6, he needs to sign a lifetime deal and be the next skipper, anyone thinking he needs to go needs a head shake, generational talent on a different level.
