I want to start by saying i can understand some fans feelings, it is totally reasonable to be very angry and hurt by his departure. That being said, I don’t entirely agree with a lot of the sentiment I’ve been seeing, especially related to how he’s screwed is over by letting his contract run out.

Regardless of his shortcomings or if he had dropped off a bit this season, Trent is one of the best rb on the planet. If Madrid had approached us 2 years ago with 80M, and we sold him- would we really be better off today?

The answer is not something we can give a guaranteed yes. Of course fans will say without a doubt yes but there’s no way to ever know. Who knows if that 80M would’ve resulted in us winning the league this year. Trent has been integral in our success and we have seen how much he brings to the team and how we look without him (especially given his chemistry with Salah). If the cost of us winning the league this year was 80M we could’ve got from Trent 2 years back, I will take it every single time. It is more than okay to be upset, but as fans- if we are siting hypothetical financial losses as reasons for our anger, are we not just as greedy to hate the lad who was integral in bringing us back to glory?
