Auston Trusty

You’ve got to think that would of been on his mind during this recent dip in form.

Anyone who says otherwise just doesn’t understand.

He will be buzzing now.

 

There is honestly no better feeling than welcoming your little one into the world.

 

Trusty is another one I think we will be looking to offload in the summer, he's not been anywhere near worth the £6M outlay we paid for him, and I think Rodgers is seeing that now.

He's erratic, doesn't pick his man up, can't tackle, and lacks any physicality for a 6'3' centre back. He is poor in the air and routinely loses challenges/headers. Also his left foot is terrible. He can't pass and technically he is very poor.

A £6M defender ideally should have some strengths.Trusty doesn't have any.

 

Hes shown enough in big European games that he can step up. New kid etc your going to be a bit all over the place. I'd keep him. Let them build on a partnership.

 

Be surprised if we sell him, unless we bring someone else in. And Im not sure we will. With a 6mil outlay I think we will be reluctant to throw the towel in on him after a season.

Unless theres commitment from Rodgers to stay beyond next season it could turn into a muted Summer of transfer activity. If he commits to a longer deal then it could open up more business.

Havent made my mind up on Trusty. He looked good at the start and had some big games. Then post the OF cup final hes been patchy. But we have had a whole bunch of players that have been inconsistent since that game so Im not sure if its an individual thing or a general malaise in the squad overall.

 

I don’t think he will go but if he did I think we would at least get our money back.

He did well in the champions league by and large particularly against Atalanta and Munich. I think a team in Bundesliga would be interested in him. Big Jenz went there and is doing fine and I actually think Trusty is quite similar to Jenz in his playing size.

 

If Hugh Keevins thinks you're a waste of money, you've probably done OK.
