In regards to the rumour from Carra, and Macca being of interest to Real, if and I say if there is the possibility of a player exchange, could Trent be an option seeing as things aren't going smoothly for him in Madrid?
06 Mar 2026 18:06:43
It would have to be Courtois, Huijsen or Valverde. Trent, for me, no. We need an RB who can defend.
06 Mar 2026 18:09:52
I don't believe we would have him back personally.
06 Mar 2026 18:23:33
That rat Arnold can stay gone. Why have back a sub-standard right back who stuck two fingers up at the club and supporters?
As for wanting any of the Madrid players, you won't find a more toxic, foul bunch than them. There isn't a good one among them, and we'd be better off with cash money than their sloppy seconds.
06 Mar 2026 18:33:21
I was eagerly awaiting your response, Vik, and u didn't disappoint. Classic. ? Not even Valverde eh?
06 Mar 2026 18:40:46
Valerde would be perfect for us.
06 Mar 2026 18:46:48
Huijsen is probably the only one I can think of. If Camavinga's injuries weren't a concern then perhaps he would be another.
06 Mar 2026 18:59:41
All the Trent haters on here who know so little about football that they fail to understand that Trent leaving was one of the biggest factors in Liverpool's poor form this season.
He has been especially missed by Salah, who never gets the ball early. And, seeing that Trent is allegedly so poor defensively, I wonder why our defence is not so watertight now that he's left.
06 Mar 2026 19:33:13
Not Trent.
Ta.
06 Mar 2026 19:40:05
Don't think anyone understates how good he was, or how we miss him. It's just the way he left. He wanted greener grass. Has he got it? Only he can answer that.
06 Mar 2026 20:30:36
Isn't Valverde injured for the season? Bit of a gamble.
06 Mar 2026 21:16:28
Zero chance on either end. Real only have 2 proper first-team RBs. Valverde can cover, and they have that young lad Jimenez, but he's still wet behind the ears. Carvajal is pushing 35, is injury-prone, and is out of contract come June. They'll definitely make a move for another RB, but it won't be to replace Trent. If he's not viewed as an immediate successor, he'll do as backup. On our end, well, I hardly need to say anything after the way things went down.
Tsk - For once, I completely agree with Florian.
I don't think a single person on here underestimates how valuable Trent was to us, sure, that's half the reason everyone was so annoyed when he left. Regarding our leaky defence, it goes far beyond the right-back position or any hole left by Trent, which I won't get into. But, specifically with regard to Trent's position, you're failing to note that both our RBs have spent more time injured than fit, and our best RB this season has been our CM.
06 Mar 2026 21:35:00
I'd have Trent back.
You can't buy his connection and experience at the club. Well, except in this case we'd have to buy it to bring him back lol.
06 Mar 2026 22:38:41
Sorry, but I have to reply to this. Trent is a brilliant player, end of. The abuse he got and gets for being beaten now and again is utter nonsense. Every full-back gets taken on and beaten at least once in every match. Does a top keeper save every shot? Does a top striker score every chance? Does a top defender win every header? No.
He is by a mile the best RB in the past 10 years in Europe, and has been irreplaceable for us. I am a born and bred Scouser; yes, he could have handled things differently, but to call him sub-standard is laughable. He is up there with the best, like Phil Neal, whom I am old enough to have seen play.
06 Mar 2026 22:50:11
Trent could come back for me.
06 Mar 2026 23:02:41
Courtois? We have Ali... ludicrous suggestion.
06 Mar 2026 23:52:31
@Vik, the diplomatic corps must rue the day when you failed the job interview. ?
06 Mar 2026 23:54:11
Meh, proper on the fence with that, to be honest. It would depend massively on the set up of the team. If he was protected and supported at rb, like what Hendo did for him, or even played at rw, then, begrudgingly, yes, as we have missed him.
Any set up expecting him to perform as a standalone full back with limited protection, though, absolutely not. He was and always will be a weak link defensively that will be targeted.
07 Mar 2026 00:17:14
Something tells me the player could well be Arda Guler, which would make sense if Alonso is coming. Apparently, they had a very good relationship, and Alonso rated him highly, having played him a lot when he was the Madrid manager. That, or Camavinga, although his injury record is a concern.
07 Mar 2026 07:45:50
Arda Guler also for me, Alonso. Great little player who could really blossom here, and gives me Coutinho vibes when we signed him and made him a superstar.
07 Mar 2026 13:08:08
What if Slot doesn't rate Guler?
07 Mar 2026 16:47:09
It'll be Camavinga or potentially Tchoumeni we're interested in. Is that correct, Carra?
