Jelly is candy, jam is to spread on bread or toast.

Craig and Shaka are the most underrated extra time duo ever

[Photosoflife]

Anyone else notice that Craig is hogging all the air time? I watched the show tonight and Shaka barely spoke. He’s becoming mute on the show whenever Craig is on.

It's all up to Trent whether he choose money or his Liverpool legacy

[milesnixon]

Why would they? He needs to improve his defensive work.

[chinitopogi]

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s priority has always been to remain at Liverpool, but anything can happen. He's a grown-up man and he has good relationship with real madrid and liverpool.

It is highly recommended and a MUST for Real Madrid management, board of directors, coaching staff, people working in their club who are involved on the transfer-market to permanently sell who are currently out on loan to play for another football club, do not offer a loan with buy back clause or with a number or percentage rights, recall or return players that are currently on-loan by another football club to play for Real Madrid, ageing ((28) years old and above), inconsistent (due to limited playing time, never have played and always on the bench, poor defensively, not performing well) regardless of age, injury prone, those who are not comfortable playing in different position, that MUST happen on or before July 2029. We are referring to Modric, Vasquez, Daniel Carvajal Ramos "Dani Carvajal", Courtois, Alaba, Rudiger, Mendy, Daniel Ceballos Fernández "Dani Ceballos", Jesús Vallejo Lázaro "Jesus Vallejo", Francisco José García Torres "Fran Garcia", Diaz, Juan Miguel Latasa Fernández "Juanmi Latasa", Reinier Jesus Carvalho "Reinier", & Guler.

Confirmed leaving Real Madrid as some will no longer renew, return to their respective football club that are being loaned out to Real Madrid and a few getting sold permanently with or without a buy back clause on or before September 2024: Rafael Marín Zamora "Rafa Marin", Kroos, José Ignacio Fernández Iglesias "Nacho", José Luis Mato Sanmartín "Joselu", Arrizabalaga & Nicolás "Nico" Paz Martínez.

Once they get sold these are the players should be sign based on their positions on or before July 2027.
Right Back: Jesus Fortea, Josh Acheampong
Left Back: Alphonso Davies, Joskol Gvardiol
Centre Back: William Alain André Gabriel Saliba, Vitor de Oliveira Nunes dos Reis
Centre Defensive Midfielder: Rodrigo "Rodri" Cascante
Centre or Attacking Midfield: Florian Wirtz, Franco Mastantuono

Lastly Real Madrid must never offer a contract to these players for a RIGHT BACK position, that are inconsistent regardless of age, poor defensively, has disadvantage of height and strength (lacks muscles), proven already that unable to stop wingers/strikers in different leagues, injury-prone, has beyond 60 million euro's transfer-market value, and ageing 27 years old and above, and turning 27 years old and above on year 2027. We are referring to Darmian, Walker, Trippier, Di Lorenzo, Cancelo, Kimmich, Dumfries, Calabria, White, Mazraoui, Ryerson, Wan-Bissaka, Molina, Alexander-Arnold, Hakimi, Tomiyasu, Royal, Dalot, Porro, James, Boey, Frimpong, Couto, T, Carvalho Santos, Livramento, Rensch, Terracciano, Gusto, Bradley, Sanchez, Fresneda, Lewis, Gray, & Lima.

Trent's gonna have a 5 year contract with Liverpool before January so not sure how they or anybody else will get him for free. The very last thing he'll want to do is leave on a free, even if he wants to leave, which I've seen zero evidence of.

[LukaGremory]

Imo no, unless until they can stabilize mbappe first then make new move later.

[Eric]

If he was good enough for Real Madrid they would take him.

[Chad]

Jelly sounds like something the og Brits wld say lol

[kd]

Trent obviously wouldn’t leave Liverpool in January, don’t be thick.

[scottengerson]

Trent won't agree to leave in January when he could get even more when he is free in the summer. Real would have to make it worth it for him AND Liverpool. Don't see it. He either re-signs or leaves on a free at this point.

[daneisaacs]

Trent wants barca.. Why would he run to vardrid?

[eL--RaL]

Koundé clear of this English propaganda hype train .. Koundé is the best solid right back in the world

[Prasko]

Anyways... next week Vinicius will move from Araujo's pocket to Kounde's pocket

[Prasko]

1. Liverpool won't sell him
2. madrid can't afford him because of strict financial fairplay in La Liga
3. madrid would have bought at least 1 defender in the summer if they could afford anyone

[eirenuaireland]

Real definitely need a defender that can't defend
