The Prophet Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Trippier would be a cracking buy. An experienced, quality full back (a priority position), who can play on both sides and take set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priorty for me is as follows: CM, CB, ST, FB, W. Lets be honest here, everyone in football would be laughing their tits off at us if this deal went through. What next? £75M for Tarkowski? £50m isn't often quoted. I think I've read that once, £200m is much more often quoted and most estimates go with a budget of anything between £200m to £800m over a period of 3 years.

The best full-back in the world would be a good signing. Besides Trippier plays on both sides and LB is easily a weak link. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I missed the part where we read about signing players in order of importance, but for what it's worth our right hand side offers nothing offensively so having someone on the right who can put in a great cross from any position could make a huge difference to our team.

AC Jimbo Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Willock was brought for huge money at a time when we had zero money. Kenedy was a loan, we didn't fuck £25M on a dud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 For me at least the priority positions are full back and centre midfield. We also need a striker for Wilson's annual injury lay off, but we could easily exploit the loan market. A centre back would be decent, but our defence wouldn't look half as bad if they had a midfield in front of them that could shield them and keep the ball. A centre back is always going to look worse when they're getting turned and dragged out of position all of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 We obviously need other positions improved upon too but as long as Trippier isn't the only one then any improvement in any position is good. On a lesser level, he's also somebody with a decent name, if we're to improve having players of his calibre and stature convinces others too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Not sure if anything changed under Bruce, but opposition teams targeted crosses from our left to our back post under Rafa regardless of whether it was Yedlin or Manquillo playing there.

Kid Icarus Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) If our budget is £50m and we also spend £25m on one player I'll eat my hat. It's one or the other surely, either the budget is £50m and we buy a few £10m-£15m players, or we're spending £25m on players like Trippier and spending much more.

Shearergol Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'll keep repeating it - normal clubs don't pay fees up front. We won't be spending £25m of our January budget on a £25m player. Stop getting hung up on it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 My thoughts on the move come entirely down to how much they intend to spend this January. If this takes away from strengthening the spine of the team, particularly CM, then I'd rather not. But as long as it's not hampering any other intended moves I'd be elated with Trippier for £25m.

Obviously this can go up if our financial situation improves. That also ignores amortisation, where the cost of the player is actually spread over the length of the players contract. So if we spent £50m on a player with a 5 year contract, that would only count as £10m for this year (but would obviously affect each subsequent year by £10m.

Trippier can’t be signed until 4 other players are signed by the sounds of it. Doesn’t matter if he becomes available first, he just has to wait until we fill other positions.

junkhead Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Of the seemingly available players, I'd go for Trippier, Digne, the dutch CB, Arthur and somebody who can play both RW and striker. 100 million. fuck the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
