Trent Alexander-Arnold

[axlgod]

Would be fun to see how quickly the commentators / pundits changed their opinion of him from genius to overrated dross.

Hehe,
It would go from ‘trent’ to ‘arnold’.

 

[Pubteam Lomas]

To be fair he's always said good things about us.
Said the atmosphere at the Etihad was one of the best and most intimidating.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Loan for the rest of the season.

Gives him a chance for England, majorly piss off the dip fans and would make us stronger.

Then fuck him off at the end of the season as he's a twat but if he gets us over the line in the Prem I can swallow my pride for a few months.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Fuck this guy.
The **** has been disparaging about city fans previously.
He’s a prick and he can’t defend.
There’s no way the club should be looking at him.

At the same time, walker did exactly the same and look how that worked out.

 

[waspish]

Madrid don’t want him his wages is a big problem for all teams can’t see any team playing the amount he is on a week for a right back..

 

[Tico Warrior]

We could take a loan with us paying 50% of his wages

We don’t usually take loans so can’t see it! Think it’s just noise because both parties want him gone..

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Tront

 

[Ajm1985]

Massive wages, we don't really do any outfield loans under Pep so it'd be a big fee, he can't defend. Not sure I see the logic. Really good at passing and spamming it up the pitch though

He’s been the opposite. I always thought from this interview he wanted to sign for us.



You’re right can’t defend though! Plus Nunes has been brilliant for the last year at right back.

 

[dhruvblue]

Thankfully people here don’t run club otherwise we would have more player signed with the aim to just to piss off people

Had any other club in England been linked with him , this place would laugh at that club

funny enough, Yanited has been linked

 

[blueparrot]

So, we're still not signing a right back then?

I see the logic, his through balls would be useful for our forward line. I do think that he's burned his bridges for a return to Liverpool too, and it would be nice to see them having ruled themselves out of the race for him due to their own pettiness. We also love a bargain and after his flop show in Madrid he's probably available for cheap.

But I don't think he'd come to us also because of that hate. Too many nobs within spitting distance who'd have no issue visiting his new Manchester home to vent their anger. I also question if his work ethic is enough for Pep. Can't see him tracking back.

Also his 'it means more' comment to appease the Scouse masses means the fans would have issues with him before he even kicked a ball, and we do have a history of targeting our own right backs. I'd certainly expect him to do twice the work from day one, and it would only probably dissipate if he pinged in a winner at anfield for us.

Well we have a right back a very good one, if we were to sign Arnold it would be because he’s different to Nunes. Can’t see it myself, don’t think he gets in ahead of Nunes for most games, especially against the better teams

 

[Earlyriser]

Some people have very short memories. The constant criticism of him was that he was good going forward but poor defensively. We need a proper fullback if we are to sign one

 

[Kamikaze Blue]

Trent is a bit of a mystery imo. He is obviously a very talented player but where do you play him? He doesn’t quite fit as a defender, and he doesn’t quite fit in midfield. He’s the kind of player I think could benefit from working with Pep. Can’t see it happening tho.

 

[CΛL]

Mark Albrighton in disguise, if he was actually good I’d love to do this just to wind Liverpool fans up, but he’s actually woeful at defending and other than long passes and crosses, he’s nothing special and certainly no better than Rico Lewis.

 

[theholysmurf]

He’s a wanker and also the story is from Graeme Bailey which mean we’ve more chance of bringing in B1 from the Bananas in Pyjamas than getting Trent AA

 

[Micky Blue]

What did he say? I’ve only seen him being complimentary about the support.

I could be wrong as I can’t find the quote.

When he scored the equaliser and ran over to our fans shushing us a few seasons ago.
Also that’s not the issue it happens, but if you’re Adebayor and play for city you get a few games ban.

I’m sure afterwards he said something like he enjoyed seeing the pain on the little faces of the city fan.
It just came across as uncalled for and so patronising.

Again I’m sure I heard it at the time but I can’t find the quote.
If I’m wrong though I take it back, but I still wouldn’t want him at the club, mainly because he can’t defend.

 

[christened at st marks]

I don't care what LNobbins thinks, Cafunes is twice the player

Yep, I'm glad the "we should sign him just to piss off the scousers" brigade aren't in control of the transfer strategy and budget at City!

We gives a shit what anyone else thinks of any potential signings? We need to sign people who will take us back to the level we need to be at. TAA is not that guy.
