[jack j]

It literally says he's not for sake so how are we clearly willing? 

Depends on which reporters you decide to believe I guess. I can only see Craig Hope going with the "not for sale" line so far although I don't really keep up with Twitter!

[Kid Icarus]

Scenes when he's sold for around £10m and it has no impact on FFP.

 

Unless it's daft money like £30m, which would still be stupidly low and only that low because of his age, I don't see how it's worth it at all. I barely see how it's worth it even at that fee.

I’m such a naïve little princess that I thought/hoped he’d retire here and move onto the coaching staff.

So did I... not gonna lie, this one has shocked me and sadnned me to the core tbh.... selling one of the best full backs in the world statistically, someone who has been so influential in everything we have achieved on and off the field  over the last 2 years for what ? To bring in that midfielder from Everton no one has heard of.... he was the glue that held the dressing room together.... could see us falling down the table further now and see other players like Bruno and big Joe follow him.... terrible news... with out a doubt our most important signing in a generation

If we don’t use this as a way to get a player from Bayern but instead prioritize one of those premier league players C Waugh mentioned today in the athletic then I’ll be fucking furious like. Would really question the strategic plan. 

 

Feel incredibly similar. Not necessarily a Bayern player but a player that improves the first XI.

 

We have a gaping hole in midfield week after week, may be selling our most creative player. So we'll still need a midfielder if this was to happen but on top of that our right hand side will be even more ineffective offensively than it already is.

[La Parka]

Fucking hell.

 

Maybe he knew this was coming and that's why he had such a shit December. Bet he's good mates with kane and dier.

 

It's a massive shame because he catapulted us miles ahead of schedule.

Aye, good luck with that.

We are selling Trippier because we cant buy a player this window. To think we will buy a new LB after spending 35m on one is mental.

[Big Geordie]

This will be really disappointing if it happens, but given his age and if Bayern offer daft money - it would allow us to reinvest elswhere, with Livermento being his natural replacement.

 

[Geogaddi]

Think it's pretty clear them rumours about cheating on his wife have some substance , his form has been so bad and it now appears he wants a fresh start somewhere else .

[et tu brute]

By reports, the problems in his personal life are of his own making, if he wants to fuck off let him go. No player is bigger than the club

I wanted him to lift our first cup, having arrived with us second bottom

I still want Big Joe or Bruno to do that.

Suppose no rumors of any fee?

[Astroblack]

Thought we were passed the stage of seeing disappointment on the forum front page. Feels like a solid punch to the gut, this.  

[wormy]

Not trying to start an argument, genuinely just curiosity, but for the people rationalising with 'if we get good money for him'.. What do you think is good money for him? Because however much we value him, I think we'll be lucky to exceed £15m considering it appears he's pushing for the move, 33 years old and has 18 months on his contract.

Well it's okay. Tonali can hit a free kick. Oh... It'll be okay next season? ?

[Erikse]

I don't understand the uproar to be honest. It's been clear many times that this is a long term project. I don't think that our team will fall apart if we sell Trippier, definetly not considering the form he has been in. Are we supposed to keep him until he's 35? Feels like many people are just ignoring his age somehow. In todays football you have to trade players, whether you like it or not. Football is different from what it was 10-20 years ago. I might have to eat my words, but don't think that it's going to make a very big difference to the rest of the season unless Livra gets injured (I know that may happen, but it's not a cerainty).

 

And again it might very well be that something is going on and that he wanted to leave, like others are saying. I also don't get why that would be a crazy thing. Players often want to change club nowadays, that's also different from 10-20 years ago.

He’s a true leader, he’s doing it to help us out of our FFP hole 

[SUPERTOON]

If we are selling him to reinvest for a midfielder, it would need to be a creative one. Pretty much all our creativity now comes from Tripps.

If it's 15 mil, I'd rather keep him as he's that valuable to the team regardless of age but it seems he wants the move so what can you do. 

[Kanj]

No issues with the sale if it happens. It’s how we use it that that I’m actually concerned over.

Suppose that’s kind of the point. If they did offer significantly more than that, every player has a price.
