Can’t be, I read on RTG he’s came for a long contract on mega money and we’re going to regret it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I was pretty excited by us signing Sissoko for £1.5mil or whatever it was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, good shout. The business that summer was great in hindsight, but felt mostly opportunistic at the time, especially after the Carroll sale. Come Jan, the Cisse signing felt like the first (and subsequently only) real attempt to properly push on and show some ambition under Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s another I never heard of, but I was excited by the fee and the timing and of course the reaction on here and what a first few months he had… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember how highly regarded he was on here before he went to Spain. I think so, if anything it was weird that Spurs didn't try harder to hold onto him.

MrRaspberryJam Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I was canny chuffed with Viduka like. I mean, a million miles away from ecstatic but on a freebie I thought it was a canny coup. Shame he was largely gash for us. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, HBA, Cabaye and Cisse were all great signings, but I think the stars just aligned for us at a time when Carr was playing a blinder in the scouting role. Even Sissoko was stupidly cheap when he came in, they were all bought for value above all else. That's why this is more significant, it really is a statement signing. It's saying NUFC are here, this is only the beginning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 In De Jong, Cabella and Riviere, we ruined our attack by filling it with a bunch of players who'd get knocked over by a strong wind even if they were standing behind each other in a row. Laughable transfer window, that one. Probably the worst of the ones where we actually signed players. We got Colback that summer as well, didn't we?

Chris_R Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 We've signed a few exciting players under Ashley but all our previous "big" signings have been about resale value. Ashley always wanted people he could resell for more. This is different as it marks a genuine change in direction. In all likelihood Trippier will leave for £0, but the owners don't care. That's what makes this a truly exciting signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was actually quite poor in his last season at Spurs, which it now transpires was because he was playing through an injury. And as you say, Levy probably saw value in selling a 28 year old.

BlazeT44 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Hi All. New to the Boards. I used to post under the same name a few years ago on another forum. Just received a screenshot of what looks to be Trippier on his way from Madrid to Newcastle. Not figured out how to post a picture yet. But go on flight radar and type in flight No: AHO215B and you'll see for yourself. Edited January 5, 2022 by BlazeT44 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
