Informative. Would that have been an LFC linked school in the way Ashfield College is a Shamrock Rovers school or did the Alexander-Arnoldās come from money? Iād imagine it was the former.
A disappointing turn of events but itās not quite as Box Office without @BruidheanChaorthainn wumming about how TAA didnāt get on with Slot or how itās Kloppās fault that he left on a free.
Keep shamrock rovers name out of your mouth
Canāt see it ending well for him there. He shows no interest in defending. The white hankies will be out for him.
From speaking to a few punters in Laniganās of Liverpool late last year they said the family were more of rubby union background than association soccer, which had all the pained sting of working-class locals that knew Trent had his head successfully turned.
Ā£220k according to reports. ā¬263k. Itās less than youād expect. Itās hard not to see this as a bit of a betrayal.
His granny dated Alex Ferguson at one stage. You could be right on the middle class standing. I think some grand-uncle of his was high up in Man Utd years ago too.
Slot forced him out as he is committed to making Liverpool Football Club even more working class
Rainhill is a public school, not private. All lfc academy players go there. Trent went to St Marys in Crosby before that, a catholic private school.
St Marys have a lovely School Song too in fairness if the wiki is anything to go by.
Itās Real Madrid. Hardly Sol Campbell levels of treachery. I suspect itās the only club heād leave Liverpool for.
Best of luck to Trent. He made us dream
League of Scotland in the sun. A big step down from the English Premier League.
Say what you like about Grealish but at least he had the stones to sign a new contract with Villa and ensure his boyhood Club got a few bob off City.
Trent must really hate Liverpool.
True- even Kane did the same for Spuds
Heās a great guy, heād probably come and play for Ireland now if he could.
Yerra theyāll survive. People give McManaman guff for leaving and he on 7k a week. The average was 25k plus at the time.
Why?
You can be sure that Liverpool would have released him had he not been up to it.
He is up to it. Defensively questionable but a rolls royce of a deliverer. Liverpool got a good bit out of him and he is completely entitled to leave when his contract was up.
I saw an interview with him recently where he claimed that Sugar manufactured an assault charge by a steward against Campbell so as to lessen Campbellās pull in contract negotiations.
Campbell said he pretty much joined Arsenal out of spite.
I get that Real Madrid are a big pull as the No.1 club in world football but this is one of the best Liverpool teams since the 1980ās and there really isnāt much of a gap in terms of the prospective salary at either club. Itās hard to fathom out why a Scouse born supporter of the club would want to leave tbh. Steven Gerrard by comparison remained loyal to a considerably weaker Liverpool team.
Trent seems to have some notions about wanting to win the Balon Dāor and feels this is necessary to fulfil that, even though the Premier League dwarfs La Liga in terms of exposure at this stage. Itās not the end of the world for Liverpool and you get the suspicion that Coach Slot may not be that disappointed at having a more balanced defensive unit. But the lack of a ā¬100 million transfer fee is a killer for rebuilding.
