Can't believe some "fans" are fuming over the idea of Trent leaving - "loyalty, " "betrayal, " all the usual outrage. But let's not pretend we weren't the same ones last year urging Zubimendi to leave his boyhood club and come to Liverpool. He came through their academy too. He loved his club too. But that didn't stop us from hoping he'd walk away for the right offer. We called it ambition then.
I know some will say, "Yeah but Sociedad would've got a fee - Trent could leave for free. " Fine, but let's be honest: most fans didn't care about Sociedad's financial return. We just wanted the player. The fee only matters now because it helps justify the outrage. This isn't about transfer policy - it's about fans wanting players to be loyal to us in a way we'd never expect them to be to anyone else. I would be horrified if Trent thought he couldn't be in the parade (like some on here have said he shouldn't be) and I seriously doubt any of the players or coaches would allow him not to be and he deserves every bit of applause I'm sure he will get for rest of season regardless of what the trolls on here think.
{Ed025's Note - cracking post RWR, thats exactly as i see it mate..

Didn’t Zubimendi stay at Sociadad. Big difference between him and Trent then.

He won’t be at the parade he’ll be at the club World Cup thing. £1 bet on that. Let’s see how you feel when he swerves the parade.

That’s just untrue most on here said they understood the decision to stay at his local club. He gave the club assurances and he was a man of his word. The two are completely different. One man showed loyalty and one man hasn’t.

World club cup starts on 15 June John.

TAA has gone for his own personal greed nothing else, by slyly running his contract down to achieve this, LFC must and will always come first for any true LFC fan not the players personal greed, he has deliberately put himself ahead of my Club, why should I now be loyal to him, and not my boyhood club.
Harry Kane was in the same position as TAA, he could but never run his boyhood contract to zero, and Spurs received a circa fee of £100 million that's loyalty. TAA knew if RM had to pay a fee for him, that they would not be interested.
I too hope that he gets the Bus! the same one Keita and Coutinho got on to Speke airport the number 82 Arriva bus.
TAA had the chance to be remembered in the same sentence as stevie gerrard another home grown lad who snubbed maureen when he came calling, but SG never went because he loved the club not his wallet, just like Harry Kane whether you hate him at least his boyhood club come first not his bank balance.
{Ed001's Note - Kane was pushed out by Levy because his contract was running down, it was not altruistic, especially as he received the standard 5% of the transfer fee plus a monstrous pay rise. Kane did nothing for Spurs, he was refusing to sign a new deal and would have left on a free if no offer came in that suited him.}

I didn’t know when the club World Cup thing was soz, when has he got to be signed by them in order to partake?

Edd001 we don't have owners like that to have pushed trent out. I think it's an unfortunate situation. Let's just say he shut down contract negotiations at 2 year to go. Is the club really going to sell a local lad and star and who would have bought? Even last year, how do you sell trent with slot just in and who's buying him for even 50 plus million? He would never have went to Italy or psg. This trent situation is very unique. It was only going to be real Madrid. Real Madrid were never buying trent for what he's worth hence what it's ended up. Hopefully a lesson that's never repeated.
{Ed001's Note - Levy is CEO not owner, he does have a very small shareholding but it is tiny. Madrid would have bought him, if we had wanted to sell him, last summer or the summer before. They want his passing range to replace Kroos.}

Ed01, can you blame Levy esp. with the way Kane was trying to push Levy into selling him to City by playing the whole thing out in the media doing interviews to Neville in order to force his hand? I don't.
{Ed001's Note - exactly, Kane was being an arse far worse than Trent, he was being extremely disruptive.}
05 May 2025 22:04:22
ED001 n yet Kane went for 100 mill n Liverpool get nothing . I know what I'd rather have.
{Ed001's Note - same here, but that was the club's doing not the player's.}

if trent swervers the parade, it'd be to avoid haters.
