Redcoat Turned Royal - The Conquest of Trent Alexander the Great

Maybe Perez has a fetish for perpetually injured players, no?

 

Not sold on this guy at all, the biggest issue he has is to stay fit, don't matter how talented he is if he can't play.

When is he coming back ?

 

Is this guy still injured lol.

 

When this guy gets healthy he's gonna help us tremendously.

 

IF.

I can't believe he's been injured since he arrived and it's Jan, with the exception of a couple games here and there.

If we get an offer in the summer, i'd probably look at it and call it quits

Like we have a choice

 

I really hope we have him pack it in for the rest of the season and just focus on getting back next year healthy instead of rushed.

 

Indeed there is ‘nothing’ going on.

Had high hopes he would transform our build up from our own half. At some point you have to criticise a player for not being available enough.

 

Yeah, I agree. Do we even know when he's about to return?

 

Yeah but for all we know he could return in a month or two and be the catalyst for winning something

I'd give it more time and not rush to make him another Woodgate or Hazard

 

We act like he wanted to be injured and be out for a long time. With Hazard, it was more about fitness, work ethic, and showing up 'fat' after his signing. I haven't seen / heard about similar issues with Trent at all. If anything, he has always been fit and ready to contribute when available.

It's another thing to be upset because of his unavailability. I'm annoyed by that as well since he was looking great before his last injury.

 

He’s out with quadricep injury right now, for 2 months since December so is expected back in February.

He was out with a hamstring injury previously.

Back to back injuries like this aren’t common with him, he’s had muscle injuries more frequently in the past 2 years but nothing like this. It’s reminding me of Ceballos and Arda who both spent half a season with random back to back muscle injuries in the past years.

 

Some people are irrational. We have heard nothing negative about his work ethic but because he isn't producing immediate, just castigate him anyways.

In the end he will be back and hopefully we will use him well

 

It was a dumb move. Might even be dumber than buying Hazard.

At the end of the day, the player needs to be on the pitch. So far, his initial impressions don't look so good considering how bad this club's luck with defender's injuries.

 

Now its Trent time..give him his position till the end of the season and he will prove why we have bought him

 

Trent Alexander Arnold is the modern day David Beckham.

Honestly, I’d tune in just to watch Trent alone. There’s an anticipation every time he picks up the ball, you want to see what pass he picks out. https://t.co/7O2yqV7j5p

Unreal player. Hope he shakes the injury bug because we're winning La Liga if he stays fit.

I said this early on, that it was going to take him at least a half a season to settle in, and by Feb/March he’d be starting to show his true class.

If he can stay fit, he might be what unlocks some of our offensive issues.

 

This dude has a mean pass. Dart fast, inside/outside of the foot. Short or across the whole pitch... very useful to have. Especialy with runners that attack the box.
