cubaricho Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Wonder if we can get a couple out-of-reach players with some hybrid loans with obligations to buy unless we are relegated. I bet a few would bite on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 If we don't get Trippier after all this I'm going to be hella disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I'd rather buy the lad from Brighton, not that they would sell probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks excellent, yeah. Seems hard to get with Chelsea and Southampton involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say i would turn Trippier down. Just a personal preference, on age, price and the future. Edited December 27, 2021 by Bimpy474 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Isn't Lamptey exclusively played as a wingback, whereas Trippier can play fullback as well (plus, on either side of the defence)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is, but i don't see why he couldn't play full back too. Kids electric, pace, recovery and getting forward brilliantly. Unfortunately he's just a signing we wouldn't get right now, maybe in a couple of years like Rac just said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 £25m? Who cares, he'll improve us and we can replace him in a couple of years. Money we'll spent when he helps us stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigValley Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 He is perfekt. 25 mill is a piss in the ocean. Lets have him experiece, leadership and everything you want from a fullback. Then buy a UP and coming kid that can turn in to a premium fullback in some years. They keep pushing themself. This is at most areas of the squad the way we have to build. Just take a breather and think back to start of oktober. We are building something. Everybodey wants the best people to build the club from inside. This is also the way to go on the field. Good players leading the younger players. And IT will mean we could sell the garbage we have faster. Out of what i think and what i am Reading i think out of contract players, experiece players and young prospect is the wall to build. I am Just happy that i can enjoy Reading and thinking about the future of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Still belive we're getting mugged with that price. As was mentioned on here earlier, man utd was prepared to pay 15m or so 6 months ago but hey, it's not my money. As long as there's sufficient funds left to significantly improve Cb, cm & back-up/prospect CF I really don't care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 We're going to get ripped off, in the situation we're in. We may as well get used to it. I think it's important to get players in early, so that'll add another premium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man U bid got rejected and were told they'd have to pay the £34m release clause though? It's not like he was ever available at £15m. Pointless spending all January trying to drag it out haggling over a few quid. Don't be worried about it limiting our spending in other positions, it's not the Ashley era anymorr. This type of signing will help get others through the door if anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Eventually it also means that we can progress faster, get to build a mid-table team, then one that can challenge for titles earlier. Miss the opportunity and it will take longer to get where we want to be. Should we get relegated, we will lose the TV money and be less attractive to players etc. If we have to pay more to avoid setting us years back, so be it. We have money to spend and can dream for once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
