it's all pure speculation and hyperbole.  none of us has Clue 1 wtf anyone is saying, but all of a sudden a narrative develops that he's got one foot out the door. 

You can understand why though?  He's a Scouser and vice captain who still hasn't put pen to paper on a new deal and has a year left in the summer.  Of course people are going to speculate.

speculation sure, but the "negative narrative" takes root and is hard to shift. 

how about: he's signed a new deal but it's not gonna be announced until the new manager is announced, as a sign of solidarity and support for the guy? 

anyone can make stuff up.

But it's not about making things up.  The fact is that he's not signed yet, and we know he'd also prefer to play in midfield.  It's a logical leap to say he's waiting to see what the new manager's plans are for him before committing to the project.

Has he even been offered a new deal?

There’s not been much chat about a contract being offered though has there? Not to say they haven’t been talking but I’ve not seen anything (unless I’ve missed it) that indicates Trent is stalling on signing something he’s been offered.

Fair points, I guess we'll find out.  I'd be amazed if the club haven't at least asked him what his terms would be though.

Maybe the word is that the new manager wants to cash in? He does seem to be a bit marmite looking at the views of many professional commentators.

If anyone is interested in some possibly spurious second-hand information, my mate has just been at an event where Carra was interviewing Trent. Carra asked, "are you a one club man?"

Trent replied something along the lines of "I was as a kid. Now I just play season-to-season." Oh dear.

No, jazz. You fear jazz. You fear the lack of rules, the lack of boundaries. Oh look, it's a fence. But, no, it's soft.

Maybe Gerrard is his idol and he wants to flirt with other teams until signing a new deal at the 11th hour.


Yeah - that's what I'm going with.

Absolutely.
