Have massively missed that while he’s been injured. Aye, always has his head up, massive loss for us in games we want / should keep the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDog Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 So is the majority thinking Tripps gets replaced by Tino next year? I don't think it's that simple. True leader of men and maybe has a year of 50% starts? Probably late to sell him for value and wouldn't want to see that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Don't think Trippier gets replaced, and I don't think we should, but I hope we start preparing for a life without him by phasing Tino in rather than playing Trippier for every minute of every game until injury.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Think Trippier is one of the best RBs in the league still. When fit and fresh he's an amazing player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Yeah agreed, he's got loads to offer. Conjo is right though, both he and Tino need their minutes managing next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People understandably more to see Tino getting more minutes somehow. But I suspect very few think he’s currently a better RB than Trippier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The difficult thing is they’re very different players and offer completely different strengths to the team: Trippier - defensively very solid positionally, remarkably good in the air considering his height, our main route for building attacks from defence, takes all set pieces and creates most chances from crosses Tino - fantastic ball carrier, good recovery pace, good in the air, very solid positionally. Won’t create a lot of chances from crosses but is an amazing attacking outlet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Trippier turns 34 this year. As good and important as he is, if a good offer comes I think we should take it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand this position but my position is I don't think the paltry offer we'd get for him outweighs what we'd miss letting him go. If we're absolutely dead up against PSR/FFP/Red Cartel rules, and the offer that comes in is magnificent before June 30th. Perhaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 What's a "good" offer for him though? £15m? He's worth FAR more to us than the money we'd ever get for him. He's a leader both on and off the pitch, that's hard to find. This isn't Paul Dummett or Matt Ritchie we're talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a good offer for him? There was talk we are going to give him another year after next. If his body can keep up, he is still a big asset for us. His game has never been about pace, and hes a topp class technical player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Ship has sailed on selling Trippier. He won't be going anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Just now, STM said: Ship has sailed on selling Trippier. He won't be going anywhere. Yep. No one is going to pay good money for someone who will be 34 next season. The upside is, even if we don't get £12m or so, he is still at least a fabulous footballer so we will still have a very good player for next season. To a lesser degree it's the same for Callum Wilson. Wilson is more injury prone so I think most would be far happier to see him sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I think the time to sell him has probably been and gone now, although it depends if there was Saudi interest. It'd probably be best to just keep him but not as automatic first choice, with Tino getting a lot more game time and probably becoming first choice. Then hopefully in a year or two Shahar will be ready to step up to the first team when Trippier does go/retire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Says he wants to be a coach but not a manager which I think bumps up the chances of him staying here long term. Would be cool if he does slot into our setup long term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Eddie on Trippier - "Kieran is getting closer; he has trained this week. It was the first time with the group. He trained well, it has been a good week for him. I will make a decision today whether he will be involved tomorrow." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
