andyc35i Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 It’s a good offer for a 33 year old, but we all know that he adds so much to the team so it seems insignificant. I think having him for one more full season makes more sense to the club than selling now regardless of the financial difficulties Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 I think €15m is a fair enough bid on paper. Would be a big statement for us telling one of the elite clubs to fuck off though chasing one of our best players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 No way they keep bidding without encouragement from the player's camp. Whiffs of "we don't need to sell, the player isn't going to stick in a transfer request, give us an offer too good to refuse". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it’s a fair bid too, but one that I wouldn’t touch with a bargepole in your position. It’s not worth the sacrifice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, give us 18m by Thursday, seems to take 2 days to prepare a bid these days. I'm really split on what to do here, the fact we are 10th makes me think we should take it.

nufcnick Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 33 years old and getting more money than we paid for him, I would take it if he wants to go. Selling him would give us the ability to spend £35m on a player paying the same £120k a week wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 One extra season with Trippier in the squad could be worth €15M euros considering how good he has been overall for us, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if Bayern are prepared to go any higher than what they've already bid. I hope it does happen though, he's still a fantastic footballer, but we need the money to spend on other positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 38 minutes ago, The Prophet said: What the minimum bid before we'd consider letting him leave? There's no realistic bid that's worth it. For me it would be like £40m to make it worth doing which is obviously not realistic and from my perspective the exact point.

Got to protect that loyalty bonus!. At the end of the day he is an employee of the club, if the club decides it wants a different employee then so be it, but if it doesn't work out they will get pelters from everyone. As others have said I don't want to loose him but we have got to learn to trust the new owners after years of the Ashley Stockholm syndrome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tino, Krafth and Ashby to come back as well. We'd be getting back what we paid for him and I think he wants to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted January 23, 2024 Share Posted January 23, 2024 Ashby and Krafth aren't good enough though. So we'd still need to strengthen if he leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
