I don't see the point of stressing out, Craig takes things too personally and loves the melodrama . From day one when he (Trent) was ' umming and ahhing ' about whether he was staying or not. At THAT point he was as good as gone in my head. I had already made my peace with the fact that he was leaving. I saw Macca leave and Owen , and I know how that worked out for them. They both have never held the same respect , if any was even given. Than that freely handed out to the likes of Gerrard , a true hero. And club legend. Trent is in his prime , and I'm sorry , he will no doubt be a multi millionaire at this point. BUT if someone rolls up with a wheelbarrow overflowing with cash..... THAT is going to be awfully tempting and tough to turn down. If someone rocked up to you and said sign this but of paper and tomorrow your bank account will be 40 - 50 million better off. I don't care if he's already a millionaire. That sort of money turns heads. So instead of wingeing about it. Write him off , he's gone , thanks for the memories Trent, goodbye. I'd get whatever money we could get for him.., and donate it to charity (haha, I'm joking about that bit, although it would be brilliant , here's what we think of you Trent . However he'd probably think it was great that HE created charity money , he's that self centered. No, I'm not falling into that trap. The problem is it's very easy to get triggered by it all. It ISN'T worth the stress lads and ladies. Happy New Year to you and yours everyone btw.
If he wants to go let him go, simple. There was life before Trent and there will be life after Trent. People getting too attached to the his situation get on with your lives lads Liverpool football club will thrive with or without Trent. Connor Bradley more than ready to fill the void at right back and he’s proved it in every performance. Trent was key to klopps team and the way we played having him come into midfield etc, he isn’t key to slots Liverpool, slot wants more traditional full backs who are good at going forward and good defensively and Bradley is both.
I agree, we did more than fine after Mane, Firmino and best Super Sub , Origi left. But it will be more worse if Salah leaves. We have super good left and center attack, but no one in the whole world , can replace Salah fully. Especially not Chiesa or Elliot. Maybe Saka or Kulusevski can do ok. But they wont come to us. Besides none of those does even close as many goal contributions as Salah. What people forget is Salah also do assist to assist to goal. (Hockey points/assist)
Yeah Coutinho and Sterling and Suarez later years. Mcmanaman and Owen before. Ian Rush went on good turn to Juventus and is one of your largest legends in history. Juventus was CL rivals to us back then, same as Real Madrid is to us today. But doing it like players do today is not ok, cause money talks, and loyality and love means nothing to them. That is why people last 30 years is not going to be legends , when they move to rivals , or sometimes other clubs.
The only reason he ran down his contract is because if he signs for Madrid for free, he will get a HUGE signing-on bonus. Essentially, the transfer free that madird would have otherwise paid LFC, will be given to Trent instead. If he choses to leave, put him on the bench
Think we will start seeing more and more players doing this, especially ones entering their prime, as it's clearly in their interest either way. They are in a very strong position with negotiations with any team. Either the one they're still at or any team thinking to take them. They win financially. I think this will become the new way of doing transfers in many instances. Why pay 60 million when you know in 5 years players can leave for free. Only thing that I'm really sad about with Trent is that's not manned up and just said honestly that he's thinking to leave. If he leaves, he's burned his bridges to me. "It means more" more money ya cunt.
And Real Madrid prefer to pay now that wait untill the "free" scenario. There's a great friendship between both clubs and Florentino wants to preserve that. But we need some right back desperately, Carvajal has the worst injurie in the sport, and Lucas is 33 years old and he can't play 55 games in ten months.
Yep the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, look at coutinho gini mane all not the same since leaving the club you’d think hed know but agent Jude whispering in his ear 👂
You fool don't begg Trend, because he already agreed a contract with Madrid which is even less salaries than what he gets from Liverpool now, so Trend has already gone, so stop begging him please.
Trent is doing a Macca, the only difference being Macca told everyone he wanted to win things. What's Trents excuse, sitting at the top of the league and the champions league?
Same reasons. He'll win trophies at Real. Being top of leagues in January don't win trophies. Liverpool under FSG are going nowhere, look at the last few seasons.
If you play football for 20 years and you're told to choose between a team that has won 1 League title in 30 years and 2 UCL's in 20 years VS 4 league titles in 8 years and 6 UCL's in 11 years, will you as a player pick team #1? VVD's and Salah's contract not sorted out and Konate is injured. It takes only not extending the contract of 3 players to immediately cause a disruption in this team. Meanwhile Perez is working on Galacticos 3.0, Trent is offered guidance under the mentorship of 6x UCL winner Carvajal, he gets to live in the sun and plays with a squad which has covered nearly every position for the coming years with world class talent. Liverpool finally won once in 20 years against Madrid, do well in a league where the usual farmers finally fell on their face and they challenge for all competitions with an irreplacable 32 year old possible Ballon D'or winner who has to almost crawl for a new contract but this doesn't mean that this level is what we will see for the coming years. Especially when that 32 year old saved you many times from point loss and is responsible for over 67% of Liverpool's goals.
Salah and VVD came out and showed their willingness to stay and showed their love to the club and fans. When Trent doesn’t do the same then it’s simply a goodbye msg
That's nonsense. Virgil said he'd wait and see how the season goes before deciding on his future. Mo says he wants to stay publicly but that's to get the fans to pressure the club into giving him more money surely. If they wanted to stay or 'love the club' they'd sign the contracts they're being offered.
Y’all are so sensitive. He won everything for y’all there is nothing left to achieve. Be proud that a local lad from Liverpool is going to become a galactico at Madrid and reach heights unattainable at Liverpool and in the prem that only Madrid can offer.
@@Wraithynnheights unattainable ?you make it sound like la liga is a better league 😂, typical Real propaganda. Liverpool can be on par with Real , at the moment they are better than them
The media are playing this brilliantly trying to disrupt Liverpool’s season getting fans to phone in on talkSPORT and react and not fans like yourself Craig making videos like this over a decision that hasn’t even been made by Trent. Don’t let him see stuff like this and turn his head let him and the boys focus on more important things like winning the league this season! Falling right into the trap
His celebration didn’t convince me against West Ham. Bellingham did the same celebration while at Dortmund I think a month before he joined Madrid… if he wants to go then good luck to him, he’s won the lot at Liverpool. But at least give the fans what we deserve!.. speak up!.
Liverpools best recent years came after our greatest player (gerrard) left the club. There is always life after great players. Trent is no gerrard either
You can also say the club could’ve sold him for good money last summer when they knew about his intentions to leave instead of waiting and making him look like the victim.
@@garethosborne7366knowing FSG and the previous contract situations with Salah and such I’m positive the club never offered him a proper contract that values his worth in the first place and I’m sure that rubbed Trent the wrong way and made him feel dispensable.
I tell you what , Fergie would have summoned Trent to his office the SECOND news reached him about Trent's indecision and asked him outright for an answer. And at the first ..... ' errrm '.... He'd have been on the transfer list. I hate Ferguson , but one thing he was not , was a bullshitter , nor did he mess about. He'd have put him on the transfer list and probably banned all talk about Trent in the dressing room from that moment on. I also think that would have maybe been the best way forward. 🫤
I cannot believe this bid came without Trent and his team having had at least indirect talks with Real Madrid. I just hope that Trent remembers that the contract that makes him free to leave at the end of the season, also obligates him to do what he's getting paid to do. I certainly hope there will be no negative reaction from him because the bid was rejected and he doesn't join Real Madrid now.
I would personally sell Trent this month, if he's really pushing for this Real Madrid move. We can't be having all this outside noise from Real Madrid media until end of this season. While we're in a league title race and potentially cups up for grabs to win it would be extraction for us as a club very similar to the "Klopp leaving" Moto from the media it didn't help us in the end especially for league title last season. I'm with you Craig about Trent attitude and his lack of unknown what he wants it doesn't help us as fan base at least let us known then we may have some respect for him and understanding, but we're still in dark of unknown.
Sorry, I disagree. Renegotiating your contract while madrid want you is a fantastic position to be in. Trent shouldn't tell anybody that he wants to stay because it immediately weakens his bargaining position in contract negotiations. We FSG are tight and any indication that trent , virg or mo are desperate to stay will result in fsg trying to low ball thrm. Thryvare all being savvy and I have zero problem with that. I'm convinced all three stay and sign new deals
You are totally wrong V V and Mo want to stay and they are loyal to the club, but not Trend, because if Trend is loyal to Liverpool Real Madrid wouldn't have come to Liverpool to negotiate with club, that snake ( Trend ) has already talked to real Madrid and even he doesn't want to stay in January.
I think this YT community has to do better. as impatient as Craig is, there is a rationality to be had in this wait. you cannot expect the decisions you’d make (like coming out to blatantly deny reports - a disadvantage for Trent) to be the decisions he does. as much as it’s frustrating to for it to be silent, we have to remain cool. as i’ve seen, most of this community has already started to turn on the lad. and i think that’s wholly embarrassing
I completely agree. It almost feels dirty and cringey watching how some entitled fans are demanding an answer for a very complicated question. I feel genuine shame for these people. He has every right to stay silent. This feels like the possessive boyfriend turning the stalking to 11 when the lady needs space. We're just doing damage.
@@chrundlethegreat2251Yeah Trent can do whatever he wants to, but that doesn’t mean that all fans are gonna be happy with him. Hes tarnishing his legacy
@@chrundlethegreat2251 Yep but what a waste. At real he might win a few cl's and become a bigger star than he already is, but he wont be loved like at Liverpool. Also to leave while Liverpool are so good. I could understand it more if Liverpool were shite
It feels more like your date is passively pushing you away without saying no 😂 I can't be the only one pissed when he celebrated with "keep talking all you want" gesture few days ago
It's a tough one. I wouldn't know what to do if I had won everything with a club. All I can say is I actually have 100% faith in Slot to be able to solve the situation with a quality replacement.
Happy New Year Craig and family 100% Trent's camp are in talks and Trent can't wait to jump ship but the grass isn't always greener on the other side and when things go wrong the fans won't be so forgiven. Just come out and say where your head is at Trent.
Once Klopp announced he was leaving, the priority was getting the best replacement for him. Only then would the expiring contracts of the trio be looked at. I think they too wanted to see how life under the new manager would be before signing. Reason why Salah and VVD are seemingly going to now stay. So no one should question why they let the contracts come close to expiring. The real issue here is TAA. He does have the right to leave if he wants. But be open and clear about it is all we ask.
I dont agree with you. As a lfc fan. I feel that LFC were wrong to let his contract run out. Like any other industry. You go where there is more money. The days of staying at 1 club and legacy are over. They have to make as much money as possible and as quick as possible. His won everything at LFC. Trent has actually been the brilliant 1 with this by not commenting and by waiting to see what Madrid offers him. Now he waits to see what Madrid offers him and then turns arround and asks LFC can you match it? If not, im going. Whats wrong with the new experience. Yes ill be sad and hurt when he leaves but we move on like we have moved on from every other great player that has left LFC. Also why are not angry at LFC for allowing his contract to run out?
I never watch these type of things online regarding Liverpool, I’ve been there 52 years as fan however this is the only lad I’d watch. Happy new year lad.
Trent either needs to sign for LFC or just tell the truth. He will be getting a massive signing on fee. If he really wanted to be LFC captain and all the other BS he has come out with then good riddance. Don’t expect a nice farewell. It’s BS. Trent has not once said he wants to stay….not once
Completely respect ur view Craig. But I’m in the camp of Trent saying that none of his contracts at Liverpool have been played out publicly and this one won’t be played out either. We’ve got confirmation from Hughes and Edward’s that they are working behind the scenes so maybe Trent does want to stay but if he wants to keep it private then it’s also his choice.
@@caraxes6533 probably not, but remember that when we went in for Zubimendi he rejected us too and we got a green light for him, what he’s doing is leveraging Madrid to get more money from Liverpool *if* he wants to stay
@@caraxes6533yeah he probably did give the green light, and like why would he do that? Why encourage them to do that now when we’re involved in a title race? The guy is just playing the club and the fans, he’s stringing all of us along and I’m sick of it. If he wants to leave say so, stop being a douchebag. He’s doing this because he knew Liverpool would decline, so now when he leaves in the summer on a free we can’t say it’s his fault.
Wait can I ask do we need Trent because if Trent leaves Liverpool in January at least we can get money but if he leaves in the summer he's gone on a FREE.... so do we really want to keep a player who doesn't even inform us about his situation??
He's doing exactly what McManaman did. Hasn't got the guts to say I'm staying or going everyone knows he's going just come out and say yea or na. Well done for telling us the truth 👏
Craig, you are a smart person. It is not just Liverpool owner but, every club owner intentions to make money of players sell. This is not a new thing. Players come and go. I can start naming players who had a big impact on the club, has left, where are they and what did they build? We are still here and continually re writing history and building a mountain of legacy. Trent is not the first or the last player to represent the club in a red shirt. Happy New Year mate.
Too much doom and gloom for a team playing so so well. Lets relax. If Trent leaves so be it. It’s his life. We’re playing well. Let’s lay off the man. The club will live on
1:15 I'm new here since this season, but as I understand it, people are not allowed to have opinions or express criticism? but you don't act differently... in every video you have opinions and criticize everything, so what's the difference? Very childish to say such things in my opinion😂
Are you condemning Mo now PSG have made him an approach ? Wouldn't be doing it without encouragement from his camp. Why don't YOU respect others not agreeing with you rather than telling them they can't !! who are you !!!
I respectfully disagree. Just because Real Madrid wants to sign Trent in this transfer window doesn't mean Trent has already decided to go. It might actually mean the opposite. 🙂
Can’t cry over spilt milk. If Trent wants out so be it. He’s already devoted 20 years of his life to Liverpool but it’ll still be disappointing if he leaves. No matter what happens though I’ve lost respect for him after how he’s handled this. Nobody is bigger than LFC.
How about losing respect for your club and management that let his contract situation get to this point and now he’s the victim like he shouldn’t also take care of himself first like the club is doing by not offering him a proper renewal yet. He owes you lot nothing he came for free as a young lad and is leaving for free as a grown up.
@@Wraithynnit’s not the leaving part that is annoying, but he’s stringing the fans and the club along. If he wants to leave fine, but grow some balls and be open about that. Also I don’t really get all the hate towards the management here, like the moment Klopp said he was leaving everyone must’ve known any contract talks were going to stop. No one was going to sign anything without seeing who the knew guy was and how the team would play.
@@joncoish trents contract shouldve been renewed two years ago not last year, so yes the management is to blame, you dont wait till he has 1 year left to start negotiating a new contract.
It's not the end of the club. Bradley is a wonderful player. It is hard so process one of your top players could be moving on. That's football. Thanks for all your reviews
Trent would of been honest with the club Now if the club think they can convince him to Sign a new deal means the Trent would loved to go to Madrid But to become captain of his home town club Wining hopefully another league title Maybe league cup and maybe an fa cup Could win the champions league .. If Trent had said he wanted to go Then Hughes just stops negotiations but he hasn’t
I genuinely would have more respect for him if he just came out and said he wanted Madrid. It hurts, it sucks, the feeling of betrayal would be present. But wish nothing but the best. A legend for sure; but a tarnished legacy
you really being to harsh on Trent. Why should he speak? What if he wanted to stay and now has had a change of heart because of what the owners did by allowing his contract to run out. Again think of any work environment. I cant see the big issue in him keeping quiet. Its a brilliant thing to do if you in his position. Be grateful for what his done for LFC
everybody is on TAA, but not guys who let this situation get to this place. It's not the blame other clubs want these players, where in the world a big club watches while their best players' contract is ending.
Exactly, Florentino Perez to Zinedine Zidane (Juventus) at Ballon d'Or festivities. He sent a napkin to Zídane, quote "Do you want to play for Real Madrid next year". Perez and his staff have most likley done similar thing to Trent also.
The main factor here are the results. When Klopp left everybody thing that we need a "rebuild", that could take years. I think TAA was very shure to go to Real at the beginning of the season, but now he knows what are we capable of !! ynwa
Well said Craig - Fekk 'em.... For me, He told me when we once flew from Manchester to Dubai he wants to end his career as LFC captain. This was 4 years ago though and wants and opportunities can come and be sweeter than what you have at that moment. I think he will stay, he loves and thanks them for the opportunities hes been given. Its up to Fenway to get its sh!t together and stop this brinkmanship.
It’s like the odd behaviour of the one having an affair, and then boom flowers at the door that confirms all suspicion. Walk away from Trent FSG. If this is to negotiate a better wage, fine but if not, walk away. We are bigger than any player.
Let him go he does not deserve Salah wages. Sort out Salah,Van Dijk,Diaz & Konate contracts. We have Joe Gomez and Connor Bradley they play and cover at rightback. Sign Kerkez,Touchameni and a left sided centerback.
I wish players would stop kissing the badge and say they are fans of their club. Players are employees for whoever they play for But fans are fans for life. We will never leave our club good bad or indifferent.
The thing that no one is mentioning is that by Slot's actions earlier in the season - namely subbing TAA when he's not been good enough and not starting him when he believes Bradley to be the better option - has brought the spoilt brat out in Trent. By his actions, Slot has shown him that he's dispensable and he's not the golden child. From his body language and demeanor ever since, he's proven himself to not like having has ability questioned. Better players than him have left, let him go and let us move on
Trent wants to leave clearly and the way he’s done it is disrespectful. Hes said he doesn’t want it in the public because he won’t tell us all he wants to leave. Otherwise it would be sorted by now. FSG & Hughes are the most incompetent owners and staff. THEY NEED TO LEAVE
Trent, like Mo and Virgil are seeing what other options there are. Also, "I want to stay (if you pay me what I want)" isn't the same as "I want to stay"
Spot on Craig. Trent is playing the fans as fools instead of just coming out and being honest I'll have more respect for him if he did. Lease mo and van djik want to stay. the owners, Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards all need to do one . Done absolutely fuck all
I believe when FsG failed to sign Bellingham, Trent was really upset and made his mind up. My theory is that this is also one of the reasons why Jurgen left and knows that Trent wants to move. And why did Real Madrid only ask to sign Trent on the last day, and I read an article that says Trent is in Italy Venice with girlfriend to escape this real Madrid saga. Craig, u are right Trent is a coward
I am sure that Trend already talk to Real Madrid and even he agreed to take less salaries than what he gets from Liverpool and some people saying he is local lad, but fuck of He likes Real Madrid more than Liverpool so let him go wherever he wants, because we have Bradly who is more better than him at the defence department.
I do not blame FSG regarding the Trent issue. This should have been sorted 13 months ago before we had the coach and backroom staff upheaval. Who fought for and was in charge of all football matters at that time? Not Edwards and not Hughes.
If he wants to fine. But I totally agree, he should have atleast signed a 1 year extension and went to Madrid for 100million in summer. We cannot afford to loose all 3 big players, with possibly Darwin, endo, Diaz etc going too
That whole intro felt extremely childish. "You clicked on the video, you have no right to critique my opinion . The comment section is for my sheep." Yeah. The entitlement shines through in your opinion on this topic. How dare Trent do what he wants without letting YOU know. Let the man keep whatever part of HIS life as private as he wants. Fans like you are why he should leave. So sorry you found a way to make shit about YOU.
Footballers careers are short and can come to an end very abruptly. I have no issue with him trying to get the best deal for himself . He owes us nothing but good football. I want Trent to stay but if he goes because of money or change of scenery etc.......Good for him, its his life not ours. Just remember that Clubs have no issue getting rid of players when it suits them.
If he says nothing that he wants to leave then he won't fall out out with the fans in meanwhile turning every contract down so he can go to Madrid so when he goes he can say fsg didn't show him the love by offering him a contract so it's quite sneaky
Totally agree with this opinion, part of the blame is with the club but Trent needs to man up and accept accountability for his decision. If he goes on a free I see him in the same light as Owen, I’d be happy for him to stay but this will live long in fan’s memories and I don’t think he should be captain even if he does stay. Richard Hugh’s can get on the plan with Trent btw
I stopped caring if a player stayed or went when Torres left (The day after I got his CL shirt!). Very few players in football are loyal but the club will always be bigger then any of them
I think he really started considering the idea of leaving once Klopp announced his departure. Then with how the season ended and a summer trip away with Bellingham has probably cemented in his mind that he wanted to go but for whatever reason, did not choose to say. This could be knowingly running down his contract for a big payday. This could be out of loyalty to see the club through an uncharted territory post Klopp. It could be a tentative hedging of bets to see how the Slot era proceeded. It could be all three (or none) The big alarm bell for me is that both Mo and Virgil have said that they want to stay. Trent hasn't. He has only said that he wants to win a Ballon D'or - typically an award for the best player in the Spanish league. This enquiry from Madrid a couple of days before they can sign him to a pre-contract just sounds like a way to shift blame solely onto the club (whether instigated by the Trent camp, I don't know but its not a good look) by saying "Well the club could have made money from selling me but chose not to" knowing that this isnt going to happen with where we currently stand in the league and with Bradley and Gomez injured. Then talk of him as a full back wanting Salah money to stay. Its all got unnecessarily messy. Its January 1st now and still no news (I'm hoping beyond hope that the club were just waiting for all to have signed to make an announcement) but I think we need to ready ourselves for three announcements that we are not going to like. If that's the case, I'll be gutted but they go with my thanks for the amazing memories and we as a club, as we have done when any big star or character has departed, we carry on moving forward.
Craig, what if Trent was always wanting to go? He’s hardly going to say he wants to stay, only to make a liar of himself. The club may have come to an arrangement with him, thus the situation we find we’re in now. The beautiful BUSINESS of football.
He’s meant to be a boyhood Liverpool fan and he’s carrying on like this? I’m past caring if he stays or not. The club is always bigger than any player
How's he carrying on?
@ open your eyes son
If he wasn’t interested in Madrid they wouldn’t have made an offer. He’s treating us like mugs. His silence speaks volumes 👍
I don't see the point of stressing out, Craig takes things too personally and loves the melodrama . From day one when he (Trent) was
' umming and ahhing ' about whether he was staying or not. At THAT point he was as good as gone in my head. I had already made my peace with the fact that he was leaving. I saw Macca leave and Owen , and I know how that worked out for them. They both have never held the same respect , if any was even given. Than that freely handed out to the likes of Gerrard , a true hero. And club legend. Trent is in his prime , and I'm sorry , he will no doubt be a multi millionaire at this point. BUT if someone rolls up with a wheelbarrow overflowing with cash..... THAT is going to be awfully tempting and tough to turn down. If someone rocked up to you and said sign this but of paper and tomorrow your bank account will be 40 - 50 million better off. I don't care if he's already a millionaire. That sort of money turns heads. So instead of wingeing about it. Write him off , he's gone , thanks for the memories Trent, goodbye. I'd get whatever money we could get for him.., and donate it to charity (haha, I'm joking about that bit, although it would be brilliant , here's what we think of you Trent . However he'd probably think it was great that HE created charity money , he's that self centered. No, I'm not falling into that trap. The problem is it's very easy to get triggered by it all. It ISN'T worth the stress lads and ladies. Happy New Year to you and yours everyone btw.
@ nobody is reading all that lol
If he wants to go let him go, simple. There was life before Trent and there will be life after Trent. People getting too attached to the his situation get on with your lives lads Liverpool football club will thrive with or without Trent. Connor Bradley more than ready to fill the void at right back and he’s proved it in every performance. Trent was key to klopps team and the way we played having him come into midfield etc, he isn’t key to slots Liverpool, slot wants more traditional full backs who are good at going forward and good defensively and Bradley is both.
I agree, we did more than fine after Mane, Firmino and best Super Sub , Origi left. But it will be more worse if Salah leaves. We have super good left and center attack, but no one in the whole world , can replace Salah fully. Especially not Chiesa or Elliot. Maybe Saka or Kulusevski can do ok. But they wont come to us. Besides none of those does even close as many goal contributions as Salah.
What people forget is Salah also do assist to assist to goal. (Hockey points/assist)
@ kudos from West Ham or Olise from Bayern
Facts!
Before trent😂
@Gakkerz am I missing something?
totally agree with you. Once Trent leave Liverpool he will be a nobody just like Philippe Coutinho and many others.
Not really at least countinho had the respect to get Liverpool some money
Funny how things have changed. "ThE bEsT RiGhT BaCk In ThE wOrLd"
Yeah Coutinho and Sterling and Suarez later years. Mcmanaman and Owen before.
Ian Rush went on good turn to Juventus and is one of your largest legends in history. Juventus was CL rivals to us back then, same as Real Madrid is to us today. But doing it like players do today is not ok, cause money talks, and loyality and love means nothing to them.
That is why people last 30 years is not going to be legends , when they move to rivals , or sometimes other clubs.
Like suarez winning things?
@@toms9651guarantee more people know Luis Suarez from his time at Barcelona than at Liverpool
The only reason he ran down his contract is because if he signs for Madrid for free, he will get a HUGE signing-on bonus. Essentially, the transfer free that madird would have otherwise paid LFC, will be given to Trent instead.
If he choses to leave, put him on the bench
fact!!!
Think we will start seeing more and more players doing this, especially ones entering their prime, as it's clearly in their interest either way.
They are in a very strong position with negotiations with any team. Either the one they're still at or any team thinking to take them. They win financially.
I think this will become the new way of doing transfers in many instances.
Why pay 60 million when you know in 5 years players can leave for free.
Only thing that I'm really sad about with Trent is that's not manned up and just said honestly that he's thinking to leave.
If he leaves, he's burned his bridges to me. "It means more" more money ya cunt.
That’s exactly right
Absolutely agree
And Real Madrid prefer to pay now that wait untill the "free" scenario. There's a great friendship between both clubs and Florentino wants to preserve that. But we need some right back desperately, Carvajal has the worst injurie in the sport, and Lucas is 33 years old and he can't play 55 games in ten months.
If Trent hasn’t learned from the Coutinho situation then it will be fun watching him go!
How are these the same things
😂😂😂😂
Don’t want Trent to leave but if he does at least we have Bradley as immediate replacement
we will be fine and taa will regret it. always the way.
Regre moving to madrid. Ok...@@theGENIUSofART-understood
Yep the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, look at coutinho gini mane all not the same since leaving the club you’d think hed know but agent Jude whispering in his ear 👂
Bradley is too injury prone at his age.
You fool don't begg Trend, because he already agreed a contract with Madrid which is even less salaries than what he gets from Liverpool now, so Trend has already gone, so stop begging him please.
Trent is doing a Macca, the only difference being Macca told everyone he wanted to win things. What's Trents excuse, sitting at the top of the league and the champions league?
Same reasons. He'll win trophies at Real. Being top of leagues in January don't win trophies. Liverpool under FSG are going nowhere, look at the last few seasons.
You act like Liverpool been winning CL/Primer leagues the past 7years mate.. Under klopp they only won 1 PL - 1 CL.. That's not enough.
If you play football for 20 years and you're told to choose between a team that has won 1 League title in 30 years and 2 UCL's in 20 years VS 4 league titles in 8 years and 6 UCL's in 11 years, will you as a player pick team #1? VVD's and Salah's contract not sorted out and Konate is injured. It takes only not extending the contract of 3 players to immediately cause a disruption in this team. Meanwhile Perez is working on Galacticos 3.0, Trent is offered guidance under the mentorship of 6x UCL winner Carvajal, he gets to live in the sun and plays with a squad which has covered nearly every position for the coming years with world class talent. Liverpool finally won once in 20 years against Madrid, do well in a league where the usual farmers finally fell on their face and they challenge for all competitions with an irreplacable 32 year old possible Ballon D'or winner who has to almost crawl for a new contract but this doesn't mean that this level is what we will see for the coming years. Especially when that 32 year old saved you many times from point loss and is responsible for over 67% of Liverpool's goals.

@@kph1034 Trophies at the END of a season
Salah and VVD came out and showed their willingness to stay and showed their love to the club and fans. When Trent doesn’t do the same then it’s simply a goodbye msg
That's nonsense. Virgil said he'd wait and see how the season goes before deciding on his future. Mo says he wants to stay publicly but that's to get the fans to pressure the club into giving him more money surely. If they wanted to stay or 'love the club' they'd sign the contracts they're being offered.
@@TerribleEnglish FSG didn't even offer them contracts are you with us
@MoSalah17-18 you don't prepare a contract without agreement
Hello From HK. I TOTALLY agree with you, Trent has played us like fools.
Totally agree criag
This is on FSG, Hughes and Edwards that the contracts of our 3 star players is not done as yet. Unacceptable
Time for him to either speak up or get out!!!
Y’all are so sensitive. He won everything for y’all there is nothing left to achieve. Be proud that a local lad from Liverpool is going to become a galactico at Madrid and reach heights unattainable at Liverpool and in the prem that only Madrid can offer.

Get out? Get out of what?

Don’t let him see stuff like this and turn his head let him and the boys focus on more important things like winning the league this season! Falling right into the trap

People still whining.
His celebration didn’t convince me against West Ham. Bellingham did the same celebration while at Dortmund I think a month before he joined Madrid… if he wants to go then good luck to him, he’s won the lot at Liverpool. But at least give the fans what we deserve!.. speak up!.
It was a signal to real to come offer a contract
Liverpool won't miss Trent Alexander Arnold, well said Craig what you've said. Liverpool East of Dublin. YNWA
Liverpools best recent years came after our greatest player (gerrard) left the club. There is always life after great players. Trent is no gerrard either
Trent knew of madrids interest in March, got a feeling he has played the fans to leave
You can also say the club could’ve sold him for good money last summer when they knew about his intentions to leave instead of waiting and making him look like the victim.
@Wraithynn depends if trent also played them along making it look as if he would renew, all to leave on a free transfer
@@garethosborne7366knowing FSG and the previous contract situations with Salah and such I’m positive the club never offered him a proper contract that values his worth in the first place and I’m sure that rubbed Trent the wrong way and made him feel dispensable.
I tell you what , Fergie would have summoned Trent to his office the SECOND news reached him about Trent's indecision and asked him outright for an answer. And at the first ..... ' errrm '.... He'd have been on the transfer list. I hate Ferguson , but one thing he was not , was a bullshitter , nor did he mess about. He'd have put him on the transfer list and probably banned all talk about Trent in the dressing room from that moment on. I also think that would have maybe been the best way forward. 🫤
I cannot believe this bid came without Trent and his team having had at least indirect talks with Real Madrid. I just hope that Trent remembers that the contract that makes him free to leave at the end of the season, also obligates him to do what he's getting paid to do. I certainly hope there will be no negative reaction from him because the bid was rejected and he doesn't join Real Madrid now.
I would personally sell Trent this month, if he's really pushing for this Real Madrid move. We can't be having all this outside noise from Real Madrid media until end of this season. While we're in a league title race and potentially cups up for grabs to win it would be extraction for us as a club very similar to the "Klopp leaving" Moto from the media it didn't help us in the end especially for league title last season. I'm with you Craig about Trent attitude and his lack of unknown what he wants it doesn't help us as fan base at least let us known then we may have some respect for him and understanding, but we're still in dark of unknown.
Sorry, I disagree. Renegotiating your contract while madrid want you is a fantastic position to be in. Trent shouldn't tell anybody that he wants to stay because it immediately weakens his bargaining position in contract negotiations. We FSG are tight and any indication that trent , virg or mo are desperate to stay will result in fsg trying to low ball thrm. Thryvare all being savvy and I have zero problem with that. I'm convinced all three stay and sign new deals
Mate I have a bridge to sell you if your interested? 😂😂
You are totally wrong V V and Mo want to stay and they are loyal to the club, but not Trend, because if Trend is loyal to Liverpool Real Madrid wouldn't have come to Liverpool to negotiate with club, that snake ( Trend ) has already talked to real Madrid and even he doesn't want to stay in January.
@@abdirashiid3571 no player should stay simply because you would consider him a snake if he leaves. Bolloks
I agree what Craig is saying 100%
I think this YT community has to do better. as impatient as Craig is, there is a rationality to be had in this wait. you cannot expect the decisions you’d make (like coming out to blatantly deny reports - a disadvantage for Trent) to be the decisions he does. as much as it’s frustrating to for it to be silent, we have to remain cool. as i’ve seen, most of this community has already started to turn on the lad. and i think that’s wholly embarrassing
I completely agree. It almost feels dirty and cringey watching how some entitled fans are demanding an answer for a very complicated question. I feel genuine shame for these people. He has every right to stay silent. This feels like the possessive boyfriend turning the stalking to 11 when the lady needs space. We're just doing damage.
@@chrundlethegreat2251Yeah Trent can do whatever he wants to, but that doesn’t mean that all fans are gonna be happy with him. Hes tarnishing his legacy

Happy New Year everybody Liverpool football club family❤
Happy new year to you too family YNWA YNWA YNWA 👊👍
@Nowaday6 ♥️
It's a tough one. I wouldn't know what to do if I had won everything with a club. All I can say is I actually have 100% faith in Slot to be able to solve the situation with a quality replacement.
Videos r slipping sadly.
Happy New Year Craig and family 100% Trent's camp are in talks and Trent can't wait to jump ship but the grass isn't always greener on the other side and when things go wrong the fans won't be so forgiven. Just come out and say where your head is at Trent.
agree with you and always with you Craig
Once Klopp announced he was leaving, the priority was getting the best replacement for him. Only then would the expiring contracts of the trio be looked at. I think they too wanted to see how life under the new manager would be before signing. Reason why Salah and VVD are seemingly going to now stay.
So no one should question why they let the contracts come close to expiring. The real issue here is TAA. He does have the right to leave if he wants. But be open and clear about it is all we ask.
I dont agree with you. As a lfc fan. I feel that LFC were wrong to let his contract run out. Like any other industry. You go where there is more money. The days of staying at 1 club and legacy are over. They have to make as much money as possible and as quick as possible. His won everything at LFC. Trent has actually been the brilliant 1 with this by not commenting and by waiting to see what Madrid offers him. Now he waits to see what Madrid offers him and then turns arround and asks LFC can you match it? If not, im going. Whats wrong with the new experience. Yes ill be sad and hurt when he leaves but we move on like we have moved on from every other great player that has left LFC. Also why are not angry at LFC for allowing his contract to run out?
I never watch these type of things online regarding Liverpool, I’ve been there 52 years as fan however this is the only lad I’d watch. Happy new year lad.
Love the honesty Craig, top man great content keep it up 👍
Loving your honesty Craig... Saying it like it is.. keep it up... YNWA...
Trent either needs to sign for LFC or just tell the truth. He will be getting a massive signing on fee. If he really wanted to be LFC captain and all the other BS he has come out with then good riddance. Don’t expect a nice farewell. It’s BS. Trent has not once said he wants to stay….not once
I wish trent the very best,its his decision
You are talking sense here sir. Thank you amigo. Cheers. YNWA.
Completely respect ur view Craig. But I’m in the camp of Trent saying that none of his contracts at Liverpool have been played out publicly and this one won’t be played out either. We’ve got confirmation from Hughes and Edward’s that they are working behind the scenes so maybe Trent does want to stay but if he wants to keep it private then it’s also his choice.
You think madrid would've enquired about trent to Liverpool without getting green light from trent?
@@caraxes6533 probably not, but remember that when we went in for Zubimendi he rejected us too and we got a green light for him, what he’s doing is leveraging Madrid to get more money from Liverpool *if* he wants to stay
@@caraxes6533yeah he probably did give the green light, and like why would he do that? Why encourage them to do that now when we’re involved in a title race? The guy is just playing the club and the fans, he’s stringing all of us along and I’m sick of it. If he wants to leave say so, stop being a douchebag. He’s doing this because he knew Liverpool would decline, so now when he leaves in the summer on a free we can’t say it’s his fault.
@@joncoish mate ur spot on. And I don’t know what he thinks is gonna happen if he’s in a poor run of form and Carvajal is fit
Wait can I ask do we need Trent because if Trent leaves Liverpool in January at least we can get money but if he leaves in the summer he's gone on a FREE.... so do we really want to keep a player who doesn't even inform us about his situation??
He's doing exactly what McManaman did. Hasn't got the guts to say I'm staying or going everyone knows he's going just come out and say yea or na. Well done for telling us the truth 👏
Craig, you are a smart person. It is not just Liverpool owner but, every club owner intentions to make money of players sell. This is not a new thing. Players come and go. I can start naming players who had a big impact on the club, has left, where are they and what did they build? We are still here and continually re writing history and building a mountain of legacy. Trent is not the first or the last player to represent the club in a red shirt. Happy New Year mate.
Too much doom and gloom for a team playing so so well. Lets relax. If Trent leaves so be it. It’s his life. We’re playing well. Let’s lay off the man. The club will live on
I actually agree with you on this, and on lots. but surely People disagreeing is not stabbing you in the back? 😂
1:15 I'm new here since this season, but as I understand it, people are not allowed to have opinions or express criticism? but you don't act differently... in every video you have opinions and criticize everything, so what's the difference?
Very childish to say such things in my opinion😂
i believe that trent has a silent agreement with RM all along…
People better start booing him every time he touches the ball
What signal does this send to our other world class players about how FSG treat their best players
No click-bait title. That was indeed brutal
Are you condemning Mo now PSG have made him an approach ? Wouldn't be doing it without encouragement from his camp. Why don't YOU respect others not agreeing with you rather than telling them they can't !! who are you !!!
If he wants to leave then let him be. He will be just another coutinho and Owen. As simple as that
I respectfully disagree. Just because Real Madrid wants to sign Trent in this transfer window doesn't mean Trent has already decided to go. It might actually mean the opposite. 🙂
Bradley will be as good as him if not better
Yes agree craig is saying 100%
He said he wanted to have a legacy at Liverpool like the greats and then all this uncertainty isn't the best way to go about it
Can’t cry over spilt milk. If Trent wants out so be it. He’s already devoted 20 years of his life to Liverpool but it’ll still be disappointing if he leaves.
No matter what happens though I’ve lost respect for him after how he’s handled this. Nobody is bigger than LFC.
How about losing respect for your club and management that let his contract situation get to this point and now he’s the victim like he shouldn’t also take care of himself first like the club is doing by not offering him a proper renewal yet. He owes you lot nothing he came for free as a young lad and is leaving for free as a grown up.
@@Wraithynnit’s not the leaving part that is annoying, but he’s stringing the fans and the club along. If he wants to leave fine, but grow some balls and be open about that. Also I don’t really get all the hate towards the management here, like the moment Klopp said he was leaving everyone must’ve known any contract talks were going to stop. No one was going to sign anything without seeing who the knew guy was and how the team would play.
@@joncoish trents contract shouldve been renewed two years ago not last year, so yes the management is to blame, you dont wait till he has 1 year left to start negotiating a new contract.
It's not the end of the club.
Bradley is a wonderful player.
It is hard so process one of your top players could be moving on. That's football. Thanks for all your reviews
I'm with you on this Craig happy new year to u and your family
TAA silence is the loudest message
Trent would of been honest with the club
Now if the club think they can convince him to
Sign a new deal means the Trent would loved to go to Madrid
But to become captain of his home town club
Wining hopefully another league title
Maybe league cup and maybe an fa cup
Could win the champions league ..
If Trent had said he wanted to go
Then Hughes just stops negotiations but he hasn’t
I genuinely would have more respect for him if he just came out and said he wanted Madrid. It hurts, it sucks, the feeling of betrayal would be present. But wish nothing but the best. A legend for sure; but a tarnished legacy
spot on mate
you really being to harsh on Trent. Why should he speak? What if he wanted to stay and now has had a change of heart because of what the owners did by allowing his contract to run out. Again think of any work environment. I cant see the big issue in him keeping quiet. Its a brilliant thing to do if you in his position.
Be grateful for what his done for LFC
everybody is on TAA, but not guys who let this situation get to this place. It's not the blame other clubs want these players, where in the world a big club watches while their best players' contract is ending.
Exactly, Florentino Perez to Zinedine Zidane (Juventus) at Ballon d'Or festivities.
He sent a napkin to Zídane, quote "Do you want to play for Real Madrid next year".
Perez and his staff have most likley done similar thing to Trent also.
Him leaving on free is a bigger slap on the face.
The main factor here are the results. When Klopp left everybody thing that we need a "rebuild", that could take years. I think TAA was very shure to go to Real at the beginning of the season, but now he knows what are we capable of !! ynwa
Spot on Craig. Born and bred in Toxteth L8 and couldn't agree more with you. Trent is looking like another Micheal Owen.
Well said Craig - Fekk 'em.... For me, He told me when we once flew from Manchester to Dubai he wants to end his career as LFC captain. This was 4 years ago though and wants and opportunities can come and be sweeter than what you have at that moment. I think he will stay, he loves and thanks them for the opportunities hes been given. Its up to Fenway to get its sh!t together and stop this brinkmanship.
It’s like the odd behaviour of the one having an affair, and then boom flowers at the door that confirms all suspicion. Walk away from Trent FSG. If this is to negotiate a better wage, fine but if not, walk away. We are bigger than any player.
I agree with you Craig!
Let him go he does not deserve Salah wages. Sort out Salah,Van Dijk,Diaz & Konate contracts. We have Joe Gomez and Connor Bradley they play and cover at rightback. Sign Kerkez,Touchameni and a left sided centerback.
I wish players would stop kissing the badge and say they are fans of their club. Players are employees for whoever they play for
But fans are fans for life. We will never leave our club good bad or indifferent.
The thing that no one is mentioning is that by Slot's actions earlier in the season - namely subbing TAA when he's not been good enough and not starting him when he believes Bradley to be the better option - has brought the spoilt brat out in Trent. By his actions, Slot has shown him that he's dispensable and he's not the golden child. From his body language and demeanor ever since, he's proven himself to not like having has ability questioned. Better players than him have left, let him go and let us move on
Trent wants to leave clearly and the way he’s done it is disrespectful. Hes said he doesn’t want it in the public because he won’t tell us all he wants to leave. Otherwise it would be sorted by now. FSG & Hughes are the most incompetent owners and staff. THEY NEED TO LEAVE
You're trying to control the situation Craig and it's out of your power and control....
Trent, like Mo and Virgil are seeing what other options there are. Also, "I want to stay (if you pay me what I want)" isn't the same as "I want to stay"
Craig don't usually write a comment but listen to your channel all the time and you are dead right x
Preach Craig!
Spot on Craig. Trent is playing the fans as fools instead of just coming out and being honest I'll have more respect for him if he did. Lease mo and van djik want to stay. the owners, Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards all need to do one . Done absolutely fuck all
I believe when FsG failed to sign Bellingham, Trent was really upset and made his mind up. My theory is that this is also one of the reasons why Jurgen left and knows that Trent wants to move. And why did Real Madrid only ask to sign Trent on the last day, and I read an article that says Trent is in Italy Venice with girlfriend to escape this real Madrid saga. Craig, u are right Trent is a coward
I think he did as well
100% agree .....
The players we signed for the Bellingham fee have improved us more than Bellingham would
I am sure that Trend already talk to Real Madrid and even he agreed to take less salaries than what he gets from Liverpool and some people saying he is local lad, but fuck of
He likes Real Madrid more than Liverpool so let him go wherever he wants, because we have Bradly who is more better than him at the defence department.
I do not blame FSG regarding the Trent issue. This should have been sorted 13 months ago before we had the coach and backroom staff upheaval. Who fought for and was in charge of all football matters at that time? Not Edwards and not Hughes.
The Directors of football, hughes hogan and Edwards fucked these contracts
If he wants to fine. But I totally agree, he should have atleast signed a 1 year extension and went to Madrid for 100million in summer. We cannot afford to loose all 3 big players, with possibly Darwin, endo, Diaz etc going too
We got Bradley and our next to be legend Gomez as back up. Not as good, but good enough. Gomez and Bradley have been really good this season.
That whole intro felt extremely childish. "You clicked on the video, you have no right to critique my opinion . The comment section is for my sheep."
Yeah. The entitlement shines through in your opinion on this topic. How dare Trent do what he wants without letting YOU know.
Let the man keep whatever part of HIS life as private as he wants. Fans like you are why he should leave. So sorry you found a way to make shit about YOU.
Footballers careers are short and can come to an end very abruptly. I have no issue with him trying to get the best deal for himself . He owes us nothing but good football. I want Trent to stay but if he goes because of money or change of scenery etc.......Good for him, its his life not ours. Just remember that Clubs have no issue getting rid of players when it suits them.
If he says nothing that he wants to leave then he won't fall out out with the fans in meanwhile turning every contract down so he can go to Madrid so when he goes he can say fsg didn't show him the love by offering him a contract so it's quite sneaky
Totally agree craig
Totally agree with this opinion, part of the blame is with the club but Trent needs to man up and accept accountability for his decision.
If he goes on a free I see him in the same light as Owen, I’d be happy for him to stay but this will live long in fan’s memories and I don’t think he should be captain even if he does stay.
Richard Hugh’s can get on the plan with Trent btw
I stopped caring if a player stayed or went when Torres left (The day after I got his CL shirt!). Very few players in football are loyal but the club will always be bigger then any of them
Trent said in September that he won’t play it out in public. All this chat is ridiculous, whether he stays or goes Liverpool will move on. YNWA🔥
I think he really started considering the idea of leaving once Klopp announced his departure. Then with how the season ended and a summer trip away with Bellingham has probably cemented in his mind that he wanted to go but for whatever reason, did not choose to say. This could be knowingly running down his contract for a big payday. This could be out of loyalty to see the club through an uncharted territory post Klopp. It could be a tentative hedging of bets to see how the Slot era proceeded. It could be all three (or none)
The big alarm bell for me is that both Mo and Virgil have said that they want to stay. Trent hasn't. He has only said that he wants to win a Ballon D'or - typically an award for the best player in the Spanish league. This enquiry from Madrid a couple of days before they can sign him to a pre-contract just sounds like a way to shift blame solely onto the club (whether instigated by the Trent camp, I don't know but its not a good look) by saying "Well the club could have made money from selling me but chose not to" knowing that this isnt going to happen with where we currently stand in the league and with Bradley and Gomez injured. Then talk of him as a full back wanting Salah money to stay. Its all got unnecessarily messy.
Its January 1st now and still no news (I'm hoping beyond hope that the club were just waiting for all to have signed to make an announcement) but I think we need to ready ourselves for three announcements that we are not going to like. If that's the case, I'll be gutted but they go with my thanks for the amazing memories and we as a club, as we have done when any big star or character has departed, we carry on moving forward.
Craig you are 100% spot on, Trent is trying to be clever and cover his backside, simple as...
Why are you putting words on trent actions? What are you now, a magician? You talk about respect and you yourself is not showing respect.lol
Have a great new Year Lads and we see us in May
From Switltzerland, YNWA
Trent had his head turned last summer by Jude
Craig, what if Trent was always wanting to go? He’s hardly going to say he wants to stay, only to make a liar of himself. The club may have come to an arrangement with him, thus the situation we find we’re in now. The beautiful BUSINESS of football.
I feel the same way mate, ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, the sad thing is that the fans will ALWAYS be the last to know 🤥
