Kieran Trippier: has a chance to play against Everton (Howe)

[Guest]

Trippier is 100% still first choice for me. If we do get a decent bid to help.PSR though then Tino is more than capable.

Some of the comments in this thread are baffling... He played out of position for England and had a few bad performances Dec/Jan but he got 10 assists last season and since signing has been one of our most creative players. 

 

As it stands he is still in our best 11. 

A few bad promenades in Dec/Jan? That’s being generous. Guy literally feel off a cliff and was making mistakes in every game going. From Wolves A onwards he was bang out of form, and wasn’t till that festive period they were starting to be punished. 

 

Hes our most creative player, because we are set up for everything to go through him, even every set piece has to be taken by him. Fortunate to go to Euros, and playing LW essentially doesn’t mask that he was still unreliable defensively when he was actually attacked.

 

Guy has been a huge player for us, helped propel us right up there, but it’s clear he’s lost his bit and a separation for both parties is in the best interests for both.  

[Gawalls]

Question is if he wasn’t our player and we had the opportunity to have him for one year for say £8m upwards then we take it? If no we have to sell for that kind of offer as he only has one year left, we need to get better at selling at the right time.

Agree on all of this - been a great player but I’d on the decline, getting on and only one year left, not even worthy of a conversation to be as it’s that much of a no brainier to sell.

He's off then

Doesn’t scream he’s staying at all costs does it?

Agreed. His poor form initially I think was related to “off field” issues. The end of the season he looked off the pace following injury. I don’t doubt he’ll probably be back to somewhere close to his best for the start of the season but I can still see us selling him to aid bringing in a RW signing (or maybe a higher calibre signing)

Certainly the club ain’t going to stand in his way.

 

Still need a worthwhile fee though. 

[KingArthur]

That is the most ”he is going” - statement that Howe has ever said.

Hm, that is somewhat concerning, sounds like we're very open to bids for him.

My only concern with letting him go is that we then have to rely on Krafth as back up. Tino doesn’t have a great injury record and Krafth isn’t good enough to play a decent amount of games for us imo.

Agreed, I like Krafth and rate him probably a bit more highly than most but still wouldn't like to rely on him for a whole season. If Trippier goes I'm hoping the club use this as an opportunity to get a young promising RB in, maybe someone like Kayode who we were vaguely linked to earlier in the window. That or someone similar - could be a great opportunity for Mitchell to flex his European market knowledge.

[BergenMagpie]

Think Krafth would be fine as backup for this season. He'd probably play a "Burn role" whilst Hall would play the "Trippier role" on the left.

 

Wouldn't like to see Tripps go to West Ham mind. Think he'd be too good of a RB in a Fullkrug team

Just came in to post it. Eddie speak

"Fight for his place" is telling imo

I like how we’ve got Eddie sussed

Tino was always going to start the season just due to match fitness, so I suppose it’s not that surprising of a comment.

 

The rest of the comments are very Eddie-speak for “he’s off” though.

[Scoot]

That's him away then...

[Cf]

Tripper was a hugely important signing for us, arguably one of our most important ever, and he's been absolutely immense for us.

 

However...

 

He's nearly 34, and we have a ready to go replacement in Livramento who I think we all mainly agree should be starting ahead of him. So Trippier would be mainly as backup, and at 34 he won't be backup for long.

 

With the PSR nonsense I can see the appeal in wanting to get a fee. This is the last chance to do so. And I suspect Trippier himself would want to start each week.

 

So I think it's a move that makes sense for both parties.

[Sibierski]

Only sad thing is most would’ve liked him to stay and then moving into coaching set up. But let’s be real, what other players in world football who earn £100k+ a week, stay as a back up (with club happy) before moving into the coaching set up? 
 

Vast majority either leave to get pay day elsewhere, leave on a free due to costs or leave to continue playing at the highest level regularly for long as they can before retiring. 
 

Was a fanciful dream where reality has now arrived, and it’s time to say our goodbyes.

Irrespective of PSR, we have to become much better sellers in general, moving players on for reasonable money before we get stuck with them.  Adding the 3.5 years to Almiron's contract recently, who comes up with shit like this? Man City just sold Alvarez for an absolute fortune despite the fact that he's really not that good, that's smart business. Nothing smart about what we are doing or we wouldn't have Trippier, Targett, Fraser, Almiron, Lascelles, Hayden, Dubravka, Lewis, Ashby, and another 25 goalkeepers taking up squad places and getting paid obscene amounts of money for what they contribute.  Work smarter not harder.

I do find it frustrating that a team that has finished 4th and 7th struggles offload it's players. Unless it's Bruno, Isak & Gordon.

We’re like a point of Guinness at the moment where half our squad naturally float to the top and the others sink to the bottom.  We won’t sell many and will just have to wait until contracts run down.
