If he is then off he fucks and it's the same with Ashworth or anyone else who wants to leave.!you don't want to keep people at the club who would rather not be. The club is bigger than any individual It’s the club policy so wouldn’t worry. Obviously the deal has to be right for the club but hierarchy have made it clear they don’t want anyone here who doesn’t want to be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many of them involved a dynamic move with Almiron in the exchange? If my assumption is correct, that creative outlet isn’t as creative as it was at the start of the season, and with every injury, he becomes less effective, we become more toothless, easier to play against and more at risk of total season collapse. If I’m wrong, and Trippier has still been our most creative player even in the past 10 games, I apologise. But I still believe sacrificing him is worth it, if we can sign another dimension elsewhere. Pretty unscientific way to answer my own question, but looking at Fantasy Premier League, Trippier got over 2 points once in the past 10 games, and that was 12 points against ManUre. We have been chasing shadows for the last 10 games. Manu is last game we won in the league and Trippier was on fire. Yes he has done some weird mistakes, but I dont think you can judge Trippier on the last 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant make decisions based on that run as it doesn’t represent the side as a whole, and every aspect of our play has suffered since the injuries piled up not just our attacking outlets. Let’s be real, Trippier especially has had a pretty horrific run of form lately but it’s silly to let that skew what he has consistently shown he delivers for us. Agreed, to an extent. But this post was in response to a comment saying we have been consistently progressive down the right hand side, which isn’t actually true. In fact, we’ve been fairly easy to tame down the right and Trippier has single handedly cost us goals and games. That absolutely isn’t a reflection on his whole time here, and it would be grossly unfair to say otherwise. But in our current state, for whatever reason, he isn’t our best creative outlet. And maybe, for that reason, the management team feel sacrificing him for investment elsewhere is a risk worth taking ??♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 21, 2024 Share Posted January 21, 2024 Please ... for those concerned, the team is not going to fall to pieces because Trippier is no longer in it. Stop it. Besides if he goes I'm pretty sure it will be with a view to bringing players in this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted January 21, 2024 Share Posted January 21, 2024 If Bayern are after him then it's going to be hard for him to not really want the move tbh. Genuine chance to win the CL, you'd have to think. And right in the hunt for a Bundesliga title or two over the next couple of years or however long he goes there. Couldn't really blame him.

The Prophet Posted January 21, 2024 Share Posted January 21, 2024 To be fair, I agree with both sides of the argument. It would definitely hurt us short term, but I can also see why the club might be alright with him leaving. Personally, unless the fee is too good to turn down (£20 millon plus), I'd keep him.

Miggys First Goal Posted January 21, 2024 Share Posted January 21, 2024 Let’s say he retires from football at the end of his contract here, what do we gain, if anything, in terms of FFP? Or we don’t sell him now and he just leaves on a free at the end of his contract. Again, what do we gain in terms of FFP? I’m just wondering if it’s best to cut ties now and make whatever we can off the deal instead of making nothing in 18 months. If that makes sense.

Not if we sign a creative midfielder and a right winger with end product, with the money. Just sell him outright and don’t replace him and yeah, we suffer. But I don’t think this lot operate like that. Look at what Tonali gave us in that first game - it was immediately apparent why he had been signed. A perfectly floated assist, a goal resulting from a perfectly timed late run, first time balls releasing players etc. People are worried about Trippier leaving because taking his assists out of our side weakens us. But one or two key additions could mitigate that loss and add even more dimensions. I’m more concerned about what our season could look like if we don’t sell Trippier (or someone else) and get some new additions in.

Having a 33 year old right back as your most creative player is surely a concern of its own too. It’s an issue that will have to be fixed in year, if not sooner anyway. Fwiw, I thought he’d retire here and I’d still be happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
