LiquidAK Posted January 21, 2024 Share Posted January 21, 2024 Would hate to see him go, but understand if he wants it, or if the club see the long-term benefit, or some combination of the two. Krafth and Tino as our fullbacks is a strong 1st choice to see the season out but our depth isn't great. More concerned about the leadership loss, our defence always looks less assured without him (lapses in form the last couple of months aside). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAK Posted January 21, 2024 Share Posted January 21, 2024 7 minutes ago, St1pe said: Baffled at how many people are ok with him leaving or think it’s a good move given his age. He’s still controlling games from right back and completely shutting down wingers opposition fans are saying will cause is problems. He’s still up there with highest chances created in the league, we don’t have anyone else even remotely close to him for set pieces. That’s before you even consider his experience and influence. But aye sell him for somewhere around £15m. We couldn’t even sign a backup for that. Seems like he’s agreed terms with them, an approach wouldn’t happen if his side didn’t green light it. If he want's to leave then we should let him go as long as we get the fee we want. We’ve got Tino who adds a different attacking threat with has ball carrying ability for what we lose with the ball knocked into space for Almiron to run onto. We’ve got FFP worries and issues in midfield, if this creates wiggle room for a signing I’m for it. He’s not getting younger and thinking of the club only it may be best to cash in whilst we can get a reasonable fee for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shouldn't need saying again but the money and wages we recoup wil probably mean we can make one really solid signing if not two. This is the only way we can generate enough funds to improve the side. When Krafth's contract is up it will be the summer when more funds are available and we can strengthen again.

It's not ideal but we might as well make some money out of it which we probably won't be able to in a year's time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KetsbaiaIsBald Posted January 21, 2024 Share Posted January 21, 2024 Shame the Saudi league are not throwing money around like crazy this window. The Bayern bid could have justified a decent chunk of money from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 21, 2024 Share Posted January 21, 2024 I’m not suggesting that we can’t leverage this into a net positive. But it does suck to lose our most creative player and it weakens our challenge for Europe unless the money is reinvested in this same window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted January 21, 2024 Share Posted January 21, 2024 It can't be the just sale money, can it? Something must have gone seriously sideways here. Trippier was a solid leader of the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tino first choice with Krafth backup is better than our options in a lot of other spots IMO. If we do sell Trippier and a couple of others, I'd much prefer the money be spent on other spots than better RB depth behind Tino. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is I can see a point in the the season where both are injured. Especially as Tino is also cover for left back. If the club feel they can bring in someone better for the money we’ll get from Trippier then fair enough, but players at that level are few and expensive.

Stottie Posted January 21, 2024 Share Posted January 21, 2024 I dunno, if we have leeway to get a largish fee for one player for Saudi without kicking up a stink, Miggy would be the ideal one to sell. A lot of it is age profile, Miggy fans! Liverpool sold two and Chelsea however many it was, but my guess about PIF PR would be we get one sell-to-Saudi per window max. As TRon suggests Matt Richie may actually be more mobile and less of a red card risk than Fabinho, but we are not the glorious reds beloved by Guardian readers and don't get to sell to Saudi with impunity.
