He's gone so time to move on. Best of luck to him.
{Ed025's Note - i second that mate..
05 May 2025 10:21:35
Awh thank God it's officially announced. Thanks Trent but we keep going YNWA.
05 May 2025 10:22:15
Yeah gutted, good luck Trent mate!
05 May 2025 10:36:48
You do realise he going for free? It’s not like we don’t need the money is it. Plenty players have signed small extensions just so their current club gets some funds.
Trent will fit right in at RM, let's hope in he doesn’t win any European cups and Liverpool win a couple. Will be very interesting to see the reception he gets from the Liverpool crowd.

Would be easier to wish him well if it wasn't Madrid he was going to, but thanks for the memories Trent.
I must say I'm excited to see a full season out of Bradley. Different player, but his underlapping of Salah and crossing to a competent CF should be a big weapon next season.
05 May 2025 10:39:43
I'm definitely not gutted he's going lad's but I'm not bitter either. As the great Ed002 always said"Players are transient"

He divides opinion, even on The Kop. I, along with loads of others on here, called it correct when we predicted he would go and the other 2 would stay. Some are angry, I'm just indifferent. I wish him well in his new surroundings. Personally, I never considered him to be a world class full back, but a very good one and unique with what he could do with the ball, something which we are going to miss. We will need to replace him in the summer, because Bradley can't be replied upon. Whether that be a Milner type replacement who can slot in, or a defender who can also cover centre back. We will find out in the coming months. Thanks for the memories, Trent.

What sort of reception do you think he will get now Rome? I can’t see it being a good one.
05 May 2025 11:02:05
I’d like to think the best fans in the world would get over themselves and give him a good reception. Total waste of energy to bring negative vibes into the stadium.
It’s not like he’s dragged the saga into the media like *cough cough* sooommeeboddy.

A good question, Mark. When I was there last Sunday the "booers" were in a small minority. I still think they'll be in the minority but there'll be more of them, I reckon.
Personally, I don't blame the club. How can you force a player to sign a contract, or sell him against his wishes. I suppose in that regard, maybe Trent could've extended his contract a couple of years back, with the proviso that he could leave if Madrid, Barca, or whoever come in for him. What do I know, not a lot.
05 May 2025 11:06:57
Nah Markp08, we don't. IMO, we don't need the money if all we were getting is 20m from RM in Jan. whereas we have a chance to win the title. Sorry, that's not a trade off that I want anything to do with.
As for a player signing a contract extension so we can get something for him, clearly he didn't want to do that cos RM only wanted him on a free and clearly, he wanted to join them at all costs so he went on a free. IMO (based on stuff I have read here and elsewhere), those were the conditions so why would he sign a small extension if those were the terms?
Trent's gone. He worked his socks off to get to this point and helped us climb to the top twice in the PL and the whole world along the way while amassing a bag of other trophies to boot. Trent was celebrated after the title last week by the Kop even tho, they all knew he would more than likely go. It is what it is. Good luck to him.

Salah gutted? you have done nothing but slate him.
05 May 2025 11:32:40
Look I'll choose not to be bitter TAA gave his all to the club. He was part of a team that gave us our first title in 30 years a European Cup, FA cup, two league cups and another league title. If people can't appreciate that then you can't be helped.
05 May 2025 11:45:24
Kloppofthenortheast, what is it with people like you making things up? twice in one week, get a grip and show me one time I've ever slated Trent, I'll wait.
