The OFFICIAL Liverpool FC thread - RIP Diogo

[blewuporstuffed]

Looking to source tickets for the Southampton game at the beginning of March. Anyone any contacts or suggestions? It's got a lot harder the last few seasons!
Ideally looking 3.

Madrid bid for Trent rejected

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Still don't make sense
If getting him for free in June why bid now....

I'll put balls on table and say all three stay

Yes I've had a drink don't @ me

[Armamike]

Would be crazy to sell him to a team you could possibly meet in later stages of the champions league.

I would say that is wishful thinking at this stage. Saw a piece on Trent on SSN he done a while back about would rather win something with England, captain Liverpool or win b'allon dor top of list was b'allon dor which he is more likely to achieve at Madrid. For a boyhood Liverpool lad I would have thought the lure of captaining club would have been massive for him, especially given how Slot has settled in first 6 months. Carvajal is out for the foreseeable so that is possibly why they are trying to bid for him plus he's 32/33 now? Didn't see any valuation quoted so think might be some mind games  on Madrid behalf too.

Hope they keep salah and VVD. TAA can do one

€150 million plus Vini Jnr... 


I like Trent, but he is far more easily replaceable than Salah or Virgil.
Truth be told young Bradley is already a solid replacement for him and will only get better.

I don't think he will leave in January but will in the summer.

Surely he would have a price in January? If he's going for nothing anyway would you not sell if Real make it worthwhile.

Depends how much they would want to risk winning the title and champions league.

If Trent does leave in January for a small fee or more than likely for free in the summer, what will the thoughts of you Liverpool fans be?

Will he be a traitor or will it be a case of "thanks for all you've done for the club"?

[Milltown Row2]

Not sure he'd be a traitor, supporters are fickle though and selfish, but you only get one go at this, the chance to play for the biggest club in the world doesn't come around that much. Trent has given plenty to Liverpool

[Captain Scarlet]

Lookit they won't get mega money for him so the ideal would be signinging a pre-contract and then his farewell tour includes a Premier League.

Hear me out on this, as I do rate Trent...I know Real dominate a lot of teams in La Liga but is he someone they need? Like a lot of their defence are not ballers as they form a solid base for all the lads in front.

As it stands they need to get Vini, Mbappe, Bellingham on the field along with Rodrygo. And not all of them are keen to leg it back...that's why Carvajal was so important. Unless Trent is going to push into the middle more?

[thewobbler]

I know it's partly because I stopped to read one unhinged rant, and Twitter assumes that this means Ai want to read more like it but...

It does seem like there's a sizeable contingent of Scouse fans who have lain dormant for 5 months and rebuilt all their angst reserves specifically to pounce on FSG in 1 January.

Liverpool are an incredibly well run club. Like miles above everyone else. Only Spurs come close and Levy can't help shooting himself in the foot. These lads need to give their heads a rest. I expect there's a strong correlation to this behaviour and spending weeks in your bedroom on championship manager.

FSG took the club over when the finances were a total mess under Hicks and Gilette who massively leveraged the club with huge debts.
What they've done since off the field is a lesson to other leveraged clubs like Utd and Everton and all the while made some astute signings and also backed managers with big money signings like Allison and VVD. Nunez wasn't cheap either.

I'd not be complaining too much if I were a Liverpool fan, there are far worse options out there when it comes to owners than FSG.

[Captain Scarlet]

Also with FSG there is rarely a player the manager REALLY wants that they don't get.
Like Mbappe and the likes are not realistic targets and there are not many players at the top level that become available.

On the flip United spend a lot on mid level players.
