If it wasn't for FFP I wouldn't even be considering it. Just probably going to be the last chance to make anything on Trippier and would be some sort of cover aside from Krafth. 

Honestly it looks like his legs have gone - will never forget what he did for the club, but top clubs are ruthless. Take him out to pasture in Saudi Arabia, let him get a sizable pay day, and move forward with Tino, and collect ~8-10 million in the process for PSR.

There's no doubt he had a lengthy patch of lost form, for whatever reason, then got fucking injured. He's only just come back, is in the England squad and you're coming out with that drivel

It will be interesting to see how Southgate uses him this summer. Perhaps his performances for England might change a few minds one way or another. If he starts at LB and smashes it then who knows, but I could also easily see him dropping a stinker in the first group game and not being seen again.

 

Selling him might mean having to get another RB in, so it's not always so simple.

It was Trippier or Lewis Hall, so that's not a great point of argument. He can still pass in the final third, but facing his own net, and defending on the ball, and off the ball, he's been nothing short of a disaster all season long. He'll be 34 in September, and no one defeats father time.

Given the PSR landscape and our limitations within it I can understood people musing about comings and goings but to suggest "his legs have gone" is both hilarious and embarrassing in equal measure

If Leeds are having a fire sale would anyone consider Meslier? He’s been one of the most highly rated young keepers for a few seasons.

Not for me, looks awful every time I see him.

His reputation does seem to exceed his current level.

He looked awful yesterday.

I would keep a hold of Trippier meself, His early season form was outstanding , then his napper seemed to get mangled for whatever reason and he lost the plot completely alongside picking up the injury. I have no reason to doubt he can recover that early season form, he is a fit lad and xan still be an asset to the side

I agree with keeping him but depends on whether he can get his swede sorted. If not, pastures new might be better for both parties.

I'm in two minds about Trippier. On the one hand he's one of the best in his league on his day but on his off days he's catastrophic.

Tino has proven himself to be first-team ready, and better defensively than Trippier. With no European football, he'll spend most of another season on the bench, and I can see him getting rightly pissed off.

If we've got a last chance to cash in on Tripps, I wouldn't be that gutted if he left. Something I thought i'd never say at the start of last season.

[captainhaircut]

I was on the fence regarding Trippier but had an epiphany last day of the season when I was very happy to see Krafth at right back instead of him.
 

I know he was coming back from injury but he’s nearly 34, will be playing in euros this summer and likely to pick up injuries next year also. 
 

if we can sell him, bank 5m plus save 5m+ in wages to invest into a top right winger then we should do. With no Europe, we can use Krafth as Tino back up.

There's some right balloons on here like. 

I don't put people on ignore tho because I like to laugh my tits of at their shit takes.

If he wants to be playing - Chelsea ain't the club for him

Isn't Adeyemi predominantly a left winger?

Left footed. Can play upfront, right side and on the left.

 

At Salzburg, where he made his name, he mostly played upfront. In better leagues though I think he'll need to play more out wide.

 

Needs to be given a wide position and to be played there consistently, which hasn't really happened at Dortmund. Needs a bit more developing.

 

I'd happily bring him in for our right side and let him make that spot his own. Could easily see him following a similar trajectory to Gordon. 

 

Not really the playmaker some might want on that side, in the Olise mould, though. He'd be a bit more like Gordon, very dynamic, direct and great work rate.

 

 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Adeyemi would be incredible, can't see it but yes please. 

[duo]

Eddie Howe type of signing written all over it
