Agree mate. Tripps is on big wages and a few extra mil in the bank helps our "you know what" position for the summer... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Actually not sure letting him go is wise, unlike Kelly and Almiron he actually brings something to the team and is fine to start event. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) Realistically, if we want to sign anyone in the summer (and prior to Almiron/Kelly I had serious doubts whether we would, we're definitely not signing anyone in January - edit: yes I know it's February ), these are they type of sales we need to make. On the one hand, there's the very real prospect of our threadbare squad being fucked and witnessing a serious drop-off this season, but on the other... we're doing absolutely nowt next season without a freshen-up. I'm fully aware that it's the 'fault' (read: feature) of PSR but it needs to happen. Edited February 2 by Elric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fully aware that it's the 'fault' (read: feature) of PSR but it needs to happen. I think we would have regardless. Although these sales this window would likely leave us in a position to take advantage of teams in a weaker PSR position? Getting rid of deadwood pre-summer helps. A lot of those who are deemed surplus to requirements often move towards the end of a window. It's a calculated risk from us, but I sort of understand it.

That's my take on it as well. Risky I agree, but at least we do have a proper RB as cover so might be better getting some money in if Tripps wants the move.

It would set us up well for an exciting summer and again a gamble but we do have enough to get by all being well in the injury department which no one can predict.

Big Geordie Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I would accept, Tripps has done his bit for us and will go down in Newcastle folk-lore as being the first transformative signing under the new regime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 I know we have his contract until 2026 and he may still have a value in the summer this sort of deal we should respect the player and if he wants to go let him he's never going to be able to play week on week and despite Tino not being great in certain areas of the pitch Trips just hasn't been the marauding play maker we had the 4th place finish.

STM Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Id let him go, now is the time to recoup money back on players for a transfer (squad) rebuild in the summer. I'm honestly not sure that Emil Krafth is any worse, he's certainly not worse defensively IMO. Trippier is obviously miles ahead with the ball but it's also second and third choice we are talking about. Tino- Krafth Schar- Lascelles Burn- Botman Hall- Targett Can surely see us until the summer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 FWIW, I don't think Trippier will go.... if he does he will go there until the summer and will end up back in England/US/Saudi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mojo has just entirely vanished over the last 13 months or so. Crazy how quickly he went from being (IMO) the best right back in Europe at around the time of that PSG game, to someone who we're now saying "Krafth will be adequate cover if he goes". But here we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDog Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 7 hours ago, Ben said: Daft this, I could understand selling players for a rebuild if our season was over, we have a small squad anyway but we can't rely on our current first team for the rest of the season, we need back up. Howe is been left in the clarts here Understand your point. They might need to get someone in for cover. That said, he is old and his value drops every 30 days at this point. Might be time to get something although his leadership would be greatly missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 6 hours ago, Smal said: yeah, I’ve heard this explanation and it doesn’t make much sense to me. Gordon was going to be sold but we sold Minteh and Anderson instead to solve that one. The Gordon rumours had gone died down before we started bidding for Guehi. Was similar with Isak who wasn’t really linked strongly anywhere, but there were tenuous links to Liverpool around the same time as the Gordon links. This was all during the Euros. We were still going after Guehi in August. Likewise Bruno’s release clause had expired long before we were bidding for Guehi. I think it’s probably more likely we that we have to get maximum value for money with our signings, and that’s hard to do in January so we’re just not bothering with incomings. Outgoings are fine because we can take advantage of some desperate teams. The problem I have with that approach is that we need some quality to come in this season. Everyone will want out come summer if we don’t have Europe again. We needed to sell Minteh and Anderson just to balance the books for last season. The financial situation hasn’t significantly changed this season - with PSR you don’t get to leave everything wrapped up nearly. Sales of players count in that season; purchases of players are spread over the length of their contract. Buying Guehi would’ve meant getting big sales money in before 30th June.

aussiemag Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 We also spent 43 mill on Osula and Hall after we just scraped by from the season before. So that’s 8.5 mill a year added to the amortisation calcs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a season where we had a turnover of only £180m and costs before player trading of £226m, where we lost £70m after player trading and our owners had to inject £168m into the club. We are in a significantly better financial position this season, by my estimation we probably have around £30-50m of PSR headroom. Next season even better, by my estimation we could have £100m+ headroom. Squad cost rules could change that, but we don't know what they will be yet or even i they will definitely come in.
