sh74 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Seen prices of 25m quoted. I know we are supposed to be loaded but 25m for a 32 year old seems extortionate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Trippier would be a tremendous signing. He's exactly what we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great player and exactly what we need in that position imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Spending £25 million on him is exactly the type of signing that has me worried that we will panic and waste the money we are allowed to spend under FFP. Don’t get me wrong, he is a top player and will improve the team, but that outlay on a fee and the obviously high wage level is not something we should be doing for a 32 year old defender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I just hope they have things ready to go for 1st January. So far it's taken them ages to appoint a manager and director of football. Time isn't a luxury we have when it comes to transfers. They need to be instant and ready to go if we are going to be a PL team next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should worry for the number and type of players who is willing to join us at this moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 He's 31, probably got a couple years in him at least. Center midfielders remain the big need though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Exactly the type of player we need in middle of the park. Has to be an absolute priority alongside defenders. This bloke and Kamara from Marseille would give us a new dynamic for 2nd half of season. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle-transfer-fofana-new-toure-25690250 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Trippier would be an incredible signing like. Who gives a fuck if we overspend? We’re in an absolutely perilous situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stozo Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Trippier signing would obviously be a bit of both good and bad. On the bad, he’s obviously not someone who has a future 3-5 years down the track. On the good, he’s a top level player who is willing to join a team currently 19th in the Premier League. I’d 100% take him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Trippier would be a great signing. fwiw, the wonder freekick in the semi against Croatia is the only time he's scored for England. Yes, there are lots of star young full backs now, TAA, Reece James etc. but Azpilicueta, Marcus Alonso, Kyle Walker are still doing it at top level at 31/32.

I would fancy our chances if with 17/18 games to go we had three top quality signings in the first 11 ready go, but I just can’t see it. Ideally we’d have to win at least half of those remaining games to survive and need new bodies in straightaway to improve the quality of the team and give everyone another lift.

Conjo Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'd never spend that much on a 31 year old full back and it would also set a ridiculous precedent to other clubs for what they can ask for their players. I'm getting strong Bosingwa vibes on this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Not saying Trippier isn't good, but I don't know how he fits into the system I'd imagine Howe playing. He doesn't play as a fast, overlapping full back does he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 How much did we spend on Willock? I’d certainly pay the same for Trippier in this market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really compare them since Willock has at least 10 years left to play at the top level while Trippier has maybe 2 good seasons left in him unless he's some physical anomaly.
