The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

[Zidane98]

One last thing on Trent - he's a very similar age now to when Gerrard was when he very almost went to Chelsea. I think Trent knows this next decision pretty much defines the rest of his career.

Yep. Another thing - Trent's still young enough to sign a 5 year deal with us, complete that contract then try something else in his early 30s.

I really hope we are offering him the captaincy once Virg leaves written into his contract.


My expectation is the club puts 300k/week total package (220k basic + 80k bonuses) on the table over 5 years. 10m signing bonus over 5 years (2m a season).

All up that's a 90m pound contract over 5 seasons, playing for his boyhood club, representing his people being captain once VVD leaves which he will do so within the next 2-3 years if he also extends his contract. Trent will be young enough at the end of that contract (31) to pursue playing overseas on a huge final payday if he still harbored desire to do so. And if that's how it worked out I am sure the club and all fans would wish him the best after giving what would be then 13 years senior football service to the club.

I'm afraid if a deal like that isn't convincing Trent then the club really needs to move on with alternate plans.

Van Dijk has been sent back to Liverpool early. Rested for the last Netherlands game.

What's the go with Ali / Jota / Elliott?

What's the go with Ali / Jota / Elliott?

Elliott training with U21s over the break. Jota another 1-2 weeks away. Not sure on Alisson.

Does Chiesa still exist in this material plane or has he been banished to the shadow realm or something?

They said after the break so who knows.

Feels like Chiesa was signed as a token gesture to say FSG did something last transfer window. Won't be seen unless we have a real injury crisis up front. Don't blame him if he wanted to go back to Italy

Chiesa just needs a run... but he primarily plays where Salah does so good luck finding minutes there.
