Trying to get the price up. Makes sense to me. Pretty standard procedure.

[Ronson333]

I think it’s the club looking to move on Tripps, Wilson, Lascelles and Almiron. I’ve got no problem with it, we need to move to the next stage of our evolution.

"Newcastle want to sell the player if Bayern makes a good offer"

 

Feels kind of obvious though, doesn't it? Maybe he knows something, but most people could've made that claim quite comfortably without really knowing stuff.

 

Edit: I know they reported that he wasn't for sale, but that's rarely true if you get a good offer.

Anyone thinking the club isn’t open to this is naive. Getting £££ for any players over 30 is good business now and what we need. We have the 3rd highest average age of squad:

Every player is up for sale at every club for the right price

What will be , Will be 

 

With this ownership , I believe the money will all be reinvested up to the maximum FFP levels we can use.

Not convinced our fans on the whole understand how negotiation works 

[Gazzaschicken]

I just saw him order the currywurst and an erdinger in spoons on gosie high street so read into that what you will

I don’t see Bayern offering near to enough for this to be worth our while. It’s a no for me.

What figure would that be. We bought him for £12m if we got more than that for him 2 years later it's a no brainer. 

 

He could play for another 3 seasons in the German league. Livramento would be keeping him out of our starting line up next season if we bought a lb.

 

I think we must have a target in sight in a more critical position and trips going is just part of the collateral. I doubt that we would just sell for the sake of it and he is on £140k per week.

Fucking hate journalists use of emojis in their tweets, seem like they think it makes them more reliable if the add ✅ to it or something. Hope bloody loves doing it and all, the absolute rectangle that he is.

Thought it was safe to ignore football for the weekend, log on this morning to this.

 

If he does go (I don't really know what the latest reports are) we will have to replace a captain, a leader, a set piece taker, a creative outlet, a senior pro as well as a very good player (until recently that is).

 

It does lend credence to the rumours that something has happened recently though. Just an aside, when his form dropped to the ground so did the whole teams. Up to Eddie to fix that.

It's an engagement and human response thing. They might not even want to do it themselves but have been told to, people interact with and have more of an emotional reaction to emojis than they do with words.

Obviously if we get more for him than we paid then it's clealeg a good deal. But he's such an integral part of the team and we're so short on fit players right now it's a big risk for sure. All depends if the money is then spent wisely.

 

Would be a shame to see him go as I personally would've loved to see him finish his career here but these things don't always go how you'd like.

On field caption if Tripps does go?  Burn?

He's done great job for us but if the rumours are true about his private life then the move could be good for him. I can't see the club blocking the move after all he's done here if that's what he wants and it's financially viable.

 

What are the rumours? 

 

I’ve been away with work for a while and can’t find much about it

In fairness, the club will push this line to the local press for any player who large chunks of fans like, even if they were actively trying to shift him on. It just makes for better optics. 

 

Local press for both clubs are often the least reliable sources in deals like this.

Can totally see him going now.

Aye, there’s too much noise for this not to happen. The only thing that stops it is if the other lad Bayern are after is available to them 

[Miggys First Goal]

Improved offer, eh?

 

[gbandit]

Do we even have any idea what the first offer was? It seemed to change from a loan to a permanent deal but i haven’t seen any numbers quoted

[Rafalove]

Hope we have a replacement lined up if this is the case. Tino’s injury record isn’t great.

[BoSelecta]

Hope he goes, he’s been class but it’s a good move for the club to get some money in for him. I just pray they pluck another Bruno level signing  out of somewhere with the FFP wriggle room. 
 

Livramento at RB + a £40m CM from Europe feels like a net gain.

Still not convinced Bayern will cough up enough of a fee to make it worthwhile.
