The full-back is clearly itching to move but an unrealistic Local Lad premium is demanded of him that reflects wider alienation
Stop talking about this thing I’m talking about. Enough already with the big media fuss I am making a big media fuss over. This kind of messaging is always hard to swallow. Why, the angry man demanded, is everyone so angry right now?
For all that, the fuss over Trent Alexander-Arnold is definitely real, whatever its source or ultimate legitimacy. Why does everyone care so much about this? It seems weird, disproportionate and strangely fevered, not to mention hostage to some persuasive media voices that carry a bit too much unexamined fan-feeling and not enough of the old journalistic detachment.
