Generally full backs peak and drop-off the earliest. Aside from Kyle Walker, I can't think of many other great full backs over 32. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As pointed out earlier in the thread, Cafu, but then again he’s probably the greatest fullback ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Something feels really odd about this one. The way it’s been leaked to the press. Stuff coming out about Trippier being interested (understandable I guess). I think there’s a chance this happens. Which would be awful for us.

Memphis Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Irrespective of what happens from here, Trippier's contributions to the club were massively important. His leadership, professionalism, and quality helped us immeasurably when we were seriously facing the prospect of relegation. That should never be forgotten. But if he's sold, this is now a sliding doors moment - and it could go one of two ways: 1. We sell Trippier for a nice fee and use that fee and the room it opens up for us appropriately to continue our rise as a club. Livramento slots right in for Trippier and we don't miss too much of a beat on the pitch. The players at the club understand Trippier's age, our financial situation, and where things are this season, and they react with long-term optimism about the project in spite of the sale. The summer sees us spend lavishly and keep growing. 2. We sell Trippier for a nice fee and the players immediately get upset, thinking that the project is stalling, and the future here isn't as bright as they expected. Other players start to see their heads being turned by offers and they start to doubt whether or not this is the right project for them. The rest of the season dwindles away in a sea of rumour and discontent and the summer is a reclamation project as we have to rebuild not only players but also attitudes. I hope it's 1, but there are a lot of people outside the club who would want to see 2. Huge challenge for Howe's leadership and the leadership of our ownership/Ashworth.

ElDiablo Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Would be a terrible loss, especially in Jan. Both on and off the field he's our figurehead and sets the standards. Yes he's getting on and we need to bring money in, but there's a line where the negatives outweigh the positives. He's one of only 4 or 5 elite players we've got.

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Don't want to lose him, what he offers both on and off the field is invaluable However, if the reports are correct that he's keen on the move (for whatever reason) then it would be foolish not to try and extract the maximum fee possible, thank him for his service and invest that money back into the side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) No chance this happens IMO, unless Bayern offer an elite player to us, which they won’t do. Edited January 20 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I don't want Trippier to go personally as he's been inspirational for us since he joined, is still one of our best players, and ideally we'd have another 18 months of him playing at the top level for us before Livramento takes over as first choice. However there's definitely been something not right with him for the last couple of months. And there has been signs there every now and again of his inevitable decline that will come eventually. He is 34 at the start of next season after all. Don't like a loan deal - but if we got a solid fee of sone kind and his big wages off the books which unlocked 1-2 signings I wouldn't blame the club at all for doing it.

As can be seen on our forum, someone started a thread after today's game about how bad he was. https://jackarmy.net/forum/threads/harrison-ashby.13222/ I must say though, we've had this before where a player we loaned was rubbish and came good after, Gyökeres is one Edited January 20 by Groo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSG Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I don’t blame him for wanting the deal tbh. Probs got 2.5 years maximum left in his career, no major emotional tie to us. Likely no Europe here next year and a chance for easy trophies and to play with his old spurs mates again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure other than Ronaldo nobody at that age has ever gone for anywhere near that kind of fee. If we got 10-15 we'd have done very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
