McCormick Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Wish we were weren’t odds-on for relegation… at least I could then actually enjoy a transfer window for the fist time in a decade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least twice the price and imo not a great defender. We need to stop shipping goals. If we can get equal quality across the backline we'd be laughing.

Geordie Ahmed Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I do like Lamptey but for where we are right now Trippier is the better signing by far if we can pull it off He's better defensively, good on set pieces but also he would provide the squad with a lift that someone like Lamptey couldn't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Trippier brings experience, leadership and adaptability, even at 25m for his age, he’d be a tremendous signing and a big statement of intent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 £15m is an absolute steal. £25m is still a no brainer. Saod it before but Trippier looks in really good shape, his age isn't a massive issue imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Really quite excited about the transfer window. God, to think it got about as exciting as "will Bruce or won't Bruce manage to loan Hamza Choudury" only a matter of weeks ago. I'm enthusiastic about basically every other link now because you get the sense that a process is actually starting. Obviously we're basically panic buying at this point, particularly without the vision of a DoF, but it's still way more exciting than wondering what shite we get to tide us over until they get Bruced/are shite from the get-go.

toon25 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 We're in desperate need for leaders on the pitch who are also decent players. Chest thumping 'pashun' merchants like Ritchie might get a crowd going, but are simply not good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo_11 Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 It seems like Botman to AC Milan is ramping up, although has been questions if they could pay the £30m needed. That Delongo journalist is also on the Botman to Milan links so if he is right about Trippier might need to manage expectations on incomings! Denayer from Lyon linked with us as contract is expiring. This sounds more plausible and has Premier League experience including a spell with Sunderland (a relegation season). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Denayer seems like a reasonable alternative to Ake/Kelly If we could snag him and Kamara we'd be much better at bringing it out under pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
