Trent, Salah and VVD

Everything feels orchestrated.
It sure is. What stopped him from waiting 2-3 more weeks?
He or the staff and his teammates wouldn't have had to worry about his reception at Anfield.
Now we have two more home games left.

I bet he just wanted ride the title winning wave, announce it when the club and the fans are on a high and get ready for an early June move to Real.
 
Of course it's orchestrated. Our club have managed their end of it too, and done well for it not to be distracting.

Anyway, he wants personal glory and he has a higher ceiling for that elsewhere, as well as a much lower floor. Don't let it ruin our party.

Yeah, obviously. But I meant the statement yesterday and now the bid to be released early.
 
Thinking back to the first few games of the season, where Slot was subbing him on a regular basis.

Dunno if the writing was on the wall already or maybe Slots arrived pushed him away further.

There was also an England game where he played well but it was made out Slot didn't congratulate him or something.

There was definitely stroppy, diva, Bellinghamesq behaviour when he was subbed though.
 
It feels like this has been in the works for years, starting with rejecting a six-year contract extension to make it four years.

Yeah, it kinda feels like everything has been leading up to this moment and leaving for free. His brother/agent is a massive cunt.
 
Anyhow. I've been thinking of the butterfly effect of all this.

I think the main reason we couldnt really indulge Trent is Salah.

I think the main reason we had to indulge Salah is the failure of Nunez. If Nunez works as an actual 9 then Salah is far easier to replace, and honestly probably wants to go. I don't think klopp would have kept him on either, if he was still around.

I don't know if it would have worked in any case. I fundamentally don't really like inverted fullbacks though.

Absolutely. Nunez is the main culprit. We spent close to 200 million on Nunez, Jota, and Diaz, and none of them have risen to the level of willingness to carry the attack post-Salah. Gakpo is the only one showing signs of taking responsibility for the attack when he is on the pitch, but he has a ceiling.
 
Oh yeah, he's real sorry for the fans.

That bit about Slot supposedly not congratulating him reminded me of Cashley Cole back in the day trying to justify leaving the Arse for the Chavs, making out he had been "insulted" by only being offered £55,000 a week. I never know why players bother trying to cobble excuses together when everyone knows they're chasing the money. I suspect they'd actually gain rather than lose respect if they just admitted it.

100%. Think De Bruyne said he would consider going to Saudi for the money and it would be difficult to turn down. So refreshing after hearing Henderson's shite about saving the country, career prospect, changing the culture etc... Everyone knows it, just admit it.

You're right. However, feels like De Bruyne already did the "Saudi thing" at City.

Yeah in a way. However, point was more that at least he was honest, which earns him some respect as opposed to Henderson who tried to weasel his way out of it. Which leads to Trent.. who could have left a hero had he been more transparent with the fans who he apparently adores. Most people don't begrudge his move to Real Madrid, just the way he has done it. What was that celebration!? Cocky knob.

Agreed, and even after the video it's gotten even more shady now that Real want him in the CWC.

After listening to the Redmen TV podcast today I really don't see how Trent can be part of the bus tour. I mean, drunk people all around carrying beer cans or whatever, someone might do something stupid and throw something at him. Is he expecting only smiles and waves?
And how will the reception at Anfield be?

Will be interesting to see what Slot does on Sunday.
