BBC recycling 'TAA assessing future' rumours and linking him to the club again. If it were to happen what welcome could he expect?
20 Oct 2026 10:21:59
The BBC aren't recycling anything, they just report on the daily rumours what other outlets are saying and they reference the source.
In this case the TAA rumour comes from Team talk so make of that what you will.

If he where to return I've no doubt if he knuckled down and played well 90% of fans would forgive and forget. He would no. doubt be big help to us at rb, Frimpong has been very poor and Bradley injuries are a killer.
He would have to up his work rate, don't think any walking about will be tolerated this time.
Can't see it happening due to the fee Madrid would look for.
20 Oct 2026 10:25:28
Mixed reaction is the best I could put it. I don't agree with how he went about things but I also understand he is definitely a tarnished name here in Liverpool probably has to do near enough the impossible to gain any love again from the fans.
20 Oct 2026 10:40:59
Forgive and forget what @Digger? He's just a bloke doing a job who wanted a new Jon and new life experiences, The ones who can never forgive being jilted by their first true love will never forgive him.

We could use his passing skills in attack, but i feel better with Araujo in defense. Up to Iraola to decide if he needs those offensive skills.
Personally, i wouldn't take him back. He strung the fans along for about 2 years. Even though it's his prerogative to decide where his future is once the contract is over. He misses and wants to come home? Join Everton. Or any other EPL team. Let's see if he still gets the free pass on his defense that we kept giving him.
20 Oct 2026 11:26:52
I'd take him on a free as a replacement for ping pong, but only if Madrid paid his wages.
20 Oct 2026 11:01:10
He'll be 29 next season and already looks rinsed. The rat can stay in Madrid, we should look forward not backwards. Particularly to a player (and family) who showed nothing but contempt for the club.
20 Oct 2026 11:09:18
He'd be welcomed back, as soon as he lands one on Iasks noggin all will be forgiven. can't rely on online influencer Jeremy Pingpong and Bradley who's made of wet soggy bog rolls. A World Class attacking fullback would be welcome. Anyone that makes our team better.
20 Oct 2026 12:17:18
29 at the start of next season. Cant see it. Think he would struggle back in this league and he's picked up injuries over the last coupla years which he never did at his peak. Quality player but he made his choice.
20 Oct 2026 12:07:09
I bet the rat is already learning to speak English.
Grrrrr.
{Ed025's Note - i know he never left on the best of terms Rigsby but thats just the life of a professional footballer with advisors mate, i get you dont like the fella but to be fair to him he has just had 2x 4G pitches built in Toxteth for the local community and he pays for the maintainance as well i believe, i met him once at the Whitechapel project for the homeless in Liverpool where he was making up bundles and he came across as a really nice guy, i was never his biggest fan as a footballer but i think hes a very good human being, how he left was a bit unsavoury but dont always judge a book by its cover i would suggest..
20 Oct 2026 12:33:59
There isn't a single player at Liverpool who can pass the ball like Trent, some of them can't pass it 5 yards. No one comes close to his crossing either.
And has anyone seen the state of the corners and free kicks lately?
I'm assuming it's not happening but i'd 100% have him back.
20 Oct 2026 13:15:43
He wanted to try new pastures, so had he announced it earlier he still would have been vilified. Damned if he did and damned if he didn't. I'd have him back at the right price.
20 Oct 2026 13:39:35
Everything about that move was done is such poor taste for me. From the silence of the player, lack of fee to the whole smirky attitude of him and his family. Realise people will disagree but that's just me.
Special player for us but for me his relationship with the club is over. Think money in that position could be better spent elsewhere because let's face it Trent is going to want big wages.
20 Oct 2026 13:41:28
I was disappointed in a few things in him the season he left, wdw but no doubt a wonderful footballer for us in the main.
Never been jolted so wouldn't know ?.
20 Oct 2026 15:43:50
Ed025, I was joking because TAA can already speak English and he was villified for learning Spanish.
I liked him as a player & had no problem with him leaving us to play elsewhere; especially another country.
And, besides, I don't agree with dehumanising players. There will always be some I don't like but they are just doing a job and playing a game.
Sorry for the confusion, mate ?.
{Ed025's Note - its not a problem Rigsby and you make a very good point about dehumanising players without actually realizing the bigger picture, of course it hurts when a player leaves for such a small fee (especially a local lad) but it is what it is i suppose mate..
20 Oct 2026 16:04:00
Can we stop using childish nicknames for our players, like Ping Pong and Gravy.
It's a bit disrespectful.
20 Oct 2026 16:55:56
Don't want him anywhere near the club. Forget how he left remember how he downed tools v Utd.
20 Oct 2026 17:54:49
Love to have him back, Kinda what YNWA is all about.
But his brother though . Yea that's a bit tough.
20 Oct 2026 18:38:27
Never want to see his face anywhere near our club again, as already said, he strung us along for a good while pretending he didn't know what to do regarding a new contract, fluent Spanish on his first Madrid interview said all that was needed, he's a rat and can lay in the dirty bed he made, no club needs that kind of clown and I believe he influenced konate to do exactly the same, wasn't as bad as a scouser doing it, obviously, he's in the same category as Owen now, not wanted by the majority.
Glad your career is on the rocks, grass is not always greener in the other side is it Roland.
20 Oct 2026 19:36:19
?? you say you've never been jolted @Digger? I'm shocked!
20 Oct 2026 19:07:13
Well said ed25.
20 Oct 2026 23:33:04
He was great for us. I defended him countless times against other fans. Would of been a legend, same as Coutnho. But both forced there exit abd will never be remember other than in passing
Id not take him back because of age, fee and wages.
Calling him a rat is a bit much in my opinion.
I also find ping pong a bit crude and mean. But Gravy? that's the best part of the roast, silly it's a compliment??
21 Oct 2026 07:38:29
Personally I don't see players who see out their contracts as having "forced a move".
Players like Isak have forced moves, but not players who play out their contracts.
I don't think Trent strung anyone along. Owen strung by us along, he was always about to sign a new contract but his agent was on holiday or his agent ran out of credit on his mobile or his agent lost his favourite pen or his agents dog ate the contract.
Trent never indicated he intended to sign a new contract, he just kept quiet.
