To me... a lot of the context of him being a dual-tour international player isn't being given enough weight in this discussion.

• He always supports his home Tour early in the season in the M.E. Thus he skips the Sentry

• He passes on one RBC event to play another in Canada, which is probably more valuable to RBCs brand. I have 100% confidence RBC is more than fine with it.

• He's supporting his home tour this fall in a new event in India

• He's made a 2-year commitment to play the Australian Open...

Bottom line: Just how in the heck can anybody not be praising this guy in his support of both the PGAT AND World golf? Just exactly when is enough, enough?

JMHO... if the golf world had 50 more Rory's... the golf world would be 50x better off...

Sheesh... we need to get a grip and give this guy a freaking break.

Will try to not talk about the departing player anymore moving forward. Said what I had to say we all should say it and then move on. Don’t let him overshadow our title celebrations. Players come players go. Club always first. We will have success without him too.

All this stuff about Trent Alexander-Arnold walking alone, it’s ridiculous. Yes, hell hath no fury like a fan spurned but some perspective is needed. Don’t be angry that Trent leaves, be thankful for the time together, the memories shared, the trophies won, the road traveled together. Madrid. Wembley. All over. Don’t berate a renowned player with such venom that potential recruits are wary of coming to Liverpool. Don’t give rival fans the chance to slate your treatment of a player. However painful, be respectful. Be proud that a local kid your club nurtured has blossomed into one of the best footballers on the planet. Show Liverpool’s best traits. Support.

Fans stay, professionals move, it’s nothing new. Trent loves Liverpool personally but professionally he has to make career choices. He’s 26. He’s been offered the opportunity to play for the biggest club in the world in Real Madrid. He’s not joining a domestic rival. He’s going abroad, to an unbelievable stadium, city and club. He’s going to a place as obsessed with the European Cup as Liverpool, perhaps even more so.

He’s going to be playing with his mate Jude and with fabulous talent like Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. He’ll probably prefer playing with Vinicius Jr than against him. He’ll be seeing more of the ball and spraying even more of those famous passes around. Especially if Xabi Alonso comes in as coach. Trent has earned this chance.

Liverpool fans will be angry, frustrated, feeling let down. But Trent couldn’t have revealed his intentions before. He focused on the 20, on being ready to come on and score a sublime, very difficult and hugely important goal as the strike against Leicester City. He’s been respectful and today’s statement is full of respect. So wish him well, however tough that may be. He’s represented Liverpool well, the Scouser in the team. Now he will be the Scouser in the Real Madrid team. What an advertisement for Liverpool’s academy, for Liverpool as a club developing such gems of players and people. Remember how much he’s done for the community, food-banks, helping out those disadvantaged, giving another chance for those released by academies. He’s got a moral compass.

Liverpool’s history is about the celebration of players and also that some leave at their peak. Kevin Keegan did. Like Trent, went to Europe for a new challenge. Kenny Dalglish came in to Liverpool and the good times continued to roll. Promptly scored the winner in the European Cup final. Adios, Trent. Hello, Conor Bradley. No player is bigger than the club. And it’s not like Trent is leaving Liverpool in the lurch. They have a brilliant new manager, have just won the title, have a superb recruitment operation and will doubtless strengthen in the summer. 

Trent leaves with a clear conscience and a crammed medal cabinet. Premier League twice, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup. Yes, he goes without Liverpool recouping a fee, and that’s an undeniable frustration. He’s run down his contract. But he never cost them a fee. Yes, he received expert coaching in the academy and been well-paid as a first-teamer. And he’s paid them back with 23 goals and 86 assists in 352 games. His legacy at Liverpool should be lauded. Trent shouldn’t be made to feel he now walks alone. Liverpool are bigger than that. #LFC

Golf is the most human of all sports, and Rory is the most human of all champions.

There’s more than that, but I think those dynamics are why yesterday was probably the most real, emotional and powerful sporting occasion we’re ever likely to witness 🫶🏼

[FarleyTV @DFImpressionist]

Whatever you read on here (NOT REAL) I think it’s very likely that Trent Alexander Arnold will get a great send off from Liverpool supporters at Anfield in the real world, Liverpool fans don’t and never will boo one of their own, I wish the lad all the very best 💪

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Liverpool Football Club are bigger than any player. They have lost elite players before and carried on. Keegan leaves, Dalglish arrives, the trophies continue. When a player leaves, it opens an opportunity for another, either promoted from within or expertly recruited.

Liverpool are very good at player development and player recruitment. Conor Bradley is still only 21, and obviously not yet in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s class, especially passing, but he showed his talent against, amongst others, Chelsea in Jan 2021 (one goal, two assists) and against Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe (that tackle). Bradley’s unfazed by occasion or opposition. He invariably steps up whenever stepping in for Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold is being criticised by some Liverpool fans not only for the decision, barring a late U-turn to join Real this summer, but for the manner of the process behind his exit. The free transfer, the silence. There’s very rarely a smooth, seamless, accepted way to leave a club. Show me the acrimony. Fans feel let down, spurned.

But it needs recording and remembering that Alexander-Arnold has played well this season even with all the distraction of Real’s interest. Now 26, he’s given so much to Liverpool over a decade. And he’ll leave, having contributed to Liverpool being champions again.

Just as he contributed to their previous title success. To their Champions League success. To their FA Cup and EFL Cup success. Alexander-Arnold has represented his boyhood love with skill, boldness, pride and passion on 349 occasions, scoring 22 times and assisting 86 goals. He's contributed fully. He’s also represented the Club well off the field, committed to local community initiatives.

Liverpool are a great club, on the up under Arne Slot, but Alexander-Arnold will be joining the biggest club in the world. The lure of Real Madrid is obvious. Bernabeu, his mate Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Ancelotti, possibly Xabi Alonso next, their need for a younger right-back with Dani Carvajal 33.

As Alexander-Arnold gets on with his career at Real, Liverpool will get on with next season - their 134th. A few tears will be shed, a few angry words will be unleashed but life will go on. #LFC
