seems to have got good favor with Liverpool fans mainly because of Jurgen Klopp. Obviously Jurgen Klopp decided to make that impassioned speech to Liverpool fans. What did you make of Klopp’s speech before we hear it? What did you make of it? Well, he had to say I I think it was a little bit rich from Jurgen Klopp. What I’m about to say here doesn’t change the fact that I totally respect his place in Liverpool’s folklore. He is a Liverpool legend, but it doesn’t mean that you have to agree with him on every single issue. And I think that he has effectively told Liverpool fans how to feel and how to behave. I thought he was a bit rich. Yeah. Yeah. No, I completely agree with you as well. Let’s hear uh said speech. This is what Jurgen Klopp had to say. A Liverpool FC Foundation event. The former boss was reacting to the Trent uh booze. what happened in the game uh when Frank came on at halftime and I watched the game when he came on and I heard I heard the booing and I I I said I’m old so it might be my hearing and I thought I made I switched on the volume that’s booing. I needed another 10 seconds to realize I switched the telly off because I I I I honestly I couldn’t have been more disappointed in this moment. This is not us. 100% not. Be angry. Don’t understand it. Whatever. This boy, this boy gave and I was there. I was there every day. If he wouldn’t have given everything, I would tell you now. But every day he gave absolutely everything for this batch. And now he decided after 20 years in his club that he wants to go somewhere else. If somebody should be angry about that, it’s the owners. But they are not interesting. Um obviously that’s when he came off the bench against Arsenal. Um I don’t I still don’t think Jurgen club who obviously I have so much respect for um the best Liverpool manager in my lifetime. Right. I still don’t think he understands that Trent Alexander Arnold for what it’s worth orchestrated a move at the club. And that’s why Liverpool fans are angry and upset. It is what it is now. Look, it’s water under the bridge. But that’s where the booming came from. Not because we understand that he gave service for 20 years. We get that. We understand that and how good he was. But it’s to orchestrate a move at the club. Also, simply because you occupied the office of Liverpool manager doesn’t mean that as well. Yeah. I mean, just just because you occupy the office of Liverpool manager doesn’t mean that you get to tell Liverpool fans how to think and how to feel about the situation. Liverpool fans gave nothing but unilateral partisan aggressive support to Trent Alexander Arnold. They loved him. They defended him. They expected him to be their next captain. They wanted him to be the one club man. They believed him when he told them that he was just a normal lad from Liverpool who dreamed of being the Liverpool captain. That’s what he told them and it and because of that they loved him. But when you love someone that much, and this is applicable to to footballers throughout history, when you love them that much, when they betray you, when they leave, when they force their way out of the club, and if you look at the way that Trent Alexander Arnold forced his way out the club, an amazing footballer, Liverpool, the club that he loves, barely got a penny for him. And they’re only getting money now because of the Club World Cup. Yeah, they got nothing. Even Cristiano Ronaldo, when he left Manchester United, signed a contract to make sure that Manchester United got paid. Yeah, Alexis Mallister did it for against Brighton. Exactly. You signed a contract. So, I think that Liverpool fans are the reason that you can tell that they were so animated, the reason why they booed was because they love so much. The reason why Fernando Torres got booed was because they loved him so much. The reason why Mason Mount got booed is because we loved him so much. You know, some players leave and you don’t boo them because when Higuain left, we’re not going to boo if he ever came back because we don’t care. I agree. Don’t care. You know, we loved and Trent Alexander Arnold was loved and if you if you think about it, the reason why he has left, it’s only for his own furtherance. It isn’t for the benefit of anything other than money. You know this thing about you don’t say no to Real Madrid. Liverpool are an amazing football club. Liverpool are a a great club. They exist in the pantheon of great. They are up there with the very best. And crucially, this is the difference now between say when Steve McManaman left Liverpool and when Trent Alexander Arnold has left Liverpool. When Steve McManaman left, you had to leave to win silverware. Top tier silverware. You weren’t going to win a European Cup then. Now he’s leaving the team that are champions. Well, he’s leaving the team that are champions to go to a team that aren’t champions. It’s not a footballing decision. It’s a brand decision, a financial decision, a friendship decision with Jude Bellingham. It’s it’s it’s a many things, but it cannot be looked through the lens of football. All right, that being said, and and look, I think many people listening uh will agree with everything you’ve just said. Everybody disagrees. It’s weird. I think No, I think there’s a few people have really got Liverpool fans back about this. I think the vast majority would agree with what you say. Do you know, I saw a tweet that I reckon sums it up. I think we I think we’re when you say people disagree, I think we’re taking social media as somehow a large percentage of the public. I just can’t believe I just can’t believe the front of people telling Liverpool fans who sit in the cop how they should feel and I and I extend that courtesy to Klopp. I think that Klo has some front to tell season ticket holders in the COP. Some of them who have been going there for half a century. Yeah. And he’s saying this is how you should feel about situation. I don’t know how to feel about the situation. But I concede that I’m not a scouter. I’m not a Liverpool fan. I don’t know. But do you know who I defer to in this situation? The cop. And the cop booed. And I’m And I would never have the front to say the cop got it wrong. Yeah. Um he’s now obviously um ended his contract early or at least Real Madrid have bought him out of that contract and Liverpool are going to get 10 million uh for Trent Alexander Arnold which I guess considering he’s going to walk away in a couple of weeks for free better than it’s out of order though. It’s changed down the back of the sofa that kind of money in football now for a player that quality. Trent Alexander Arnold is worth what on the market? 100 million. I I would say less than that but a lot of money. 100 million cuz he’s not your traditional defender is he? Your defenders don’t really go for much. 100 100 sounds like a lot. AD, but you know, I’m not going to argue over the millions. 26. I’m not going to argue with the millions. I even even if we go on a really conservative estimate, right, let’s just go let’s just go 60. Yeah. You know, Mason Mount with a 60. Let’s go 60 million. In the era of PSR, that is so important. And he could have easily everybody could have still won. By the way, Real Madrid would have got an excellent footballer. Trent Alexander Randall would have got his move and Liverpool would have got 45 million quid. Everybody could have still won, but they didn’t. And the only winner in the situation really is Trent Alexander Arnold. And the only loser is Liverpool. This text has just come in from David Morham. As a Liverpool fan of 50 years, I agree with Klopp. And Liverpool fans don’t boo their own players. I understand their strong feelings around Trent Leven, but Liverpool fans have usually got more class than that. My feeling is that the booze came from a minority who didn’t turn up for the Crystal Palace match. I certainly wasn’t a minority cuz you could hear the booze. I mean, those boos were as loud as I saw. Great tweet which I think sums it up perfectly from David Mor. The the tweet said the cop booed and the main stand clapped. Now if you think about how football stadiums are broken down these days, the main stand is going to core really is the cop and the main stand. And you know if you want to know something about if you want to know something about any football club, if you want to know how Liverpool fans feel, go to the cop. If you want to know how Man United feel fans feel, go to the stret. If you want to know how Man City fans feel, the equivalent of the kipax. Well, what’s the equivalent of that villa? The whole end. The whole end. This is where this tweet comes from. Perry and Holway says the Hulk still booed Jack because we admired and adored him. Perry the Villa fan. That is true, isn’t it? Exactly. And this is something and by the way, they got 100 million for Jack. Exactly. But this is something that we’ve done for years. Like I don’t understand why we got so precious about like I I I was taught really before my time. But I I I was taught to to make sure that I had a had nothing but disgust for Gordon Jury. Gordon Jury was seen as a Judas. I was bought up to know that this geyser called Gordon Jury was a massive Judas. And I would extend that to Gus Davo Pouyet. I would extend that to Mason Mount. If you turn your back on a club, especially when you’re loved, you will get booed. And I don’t know when as a society we became so precious about this # class. How do you think he does at Real Madrid? Not as well as everybody else. Not if if Real Madrid somehow think that they’re going to solve their defensive frailties by signing. That’s not what they bought him for, though, is it? Don’t I think I don’t know if he’s we know him very well and I don’t know if the continent know quite how pronounced his defensive inability is. Agreed. He he is if we’re totally honest. You think about the wingers in Spanish football. Terrible. I mean they they and by the way they go at you also. They don’t they don’t cut in like our wingers. They go think about the Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris. The only player in the world the only man in the world who didn’t know where Venicious Junior was was Trent Alexander Arnold whose responsibility it was was to mark him. Liverpool lost that cup final because Trent Alexander Arnold lost his man. And by the way, as well, the Spanish press, I mean, we think the press over here can be Well, Real Madrid fans Real Madrid, if he thinks this was bad, they’ll have their white hankies out. What’s the their newspaper? The marker that literally absolutely goes to your head if you play bad. Yeah, but look, he there is no doubt that he’s wonderful. He’s a fantastic. There is no doubt he’s a wonderful footballer and there is a chance that this is going to work out for him. But ultimately, what he’s turned his back on is is total and utter legacy. He an iconic status at Liverpool. He’s turned his back on all that to become a very rich forgotten Galactica brand. All right, Brand Trent Alexander. What do you make of it? 03717234. Desperate to hear from Liver Liverpool fans are on this one. Obviously, look, you got 10 million quid for him. But regardless of what Jurgen Klopp said, regardless of the the Trent tears on the bus, what do you make of the whole move? still upset, still gutted, or have you forgiven him and you wish him good luck at Los Blanos on AM on DAB, via the Talk Sport app, and on your smart speaker.
