TRon Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 1 hour ago, POOT 2.0 said: So, pre the 1st...they've agreed a fee with AM, been talking to the player, got agreements and all to be ready to put in a formal bid on the 1st day of the TW. What is this sorcery? Have they actually agreed a fee? Not sure I've heard that anywhere, I was under the impression we've agreed most of the terms with Trippier, but was expecting Atletico to try and rinse us for as much as possible once the deal looked on.

Not confirmed that they've agreed a fee but judging by simeones comments it would suggest that they have agreed a fee and it's just up to Trippier if he wants to leave now.

I hope so, like I said, was expecting them to make it awkward as possible, but the money must be too good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to happen, it’s been widely reported for ages that he wants to join. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Love the fact we've got the bid in on the 1st Day of the window. That is something that hasn't happened in the last 14 years - great start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think so, but you also hear many stories of clubs speaking to the agents of players and sometimes agreeing wages/contract details before actually bidding for that player.

Just reading through the transfer rumours thread now, and it seems like they are set to reject our initial bid. So as I thought, they will be looking to rinse us for as much as possible.

Joey47 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Atletico Madrid play tomorrow so if we haven't heard anything else by then will be interesting to see if Trippier is in the squad. He has started the last 3 games AM have played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the discussions have already happened, we know how much they want, we know he wants to come and we’ve had to wait until today to put our formal offer in.

NEEJ Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 There's a release clause though, right? So that's the upper limit of what Atletico can ask for, and we knew this going into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The release clause is pretty astronomical for a 31 year old so I would think we'd want to pay a bit less than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I imagine we aren't even bothered about haggling for Trippier. Pay his release clause and move on to our next target. Botman will need work, in order to make sure we aren't getting fleeced. The issue is that yes we could over pay for Botman bit then the people at top will just say, "in that case we should just go for player x instead".

Dokko Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 £15m player due to age but happy to pay an additional £10m as it'll spark our season and window which will see other quality players follow him through the door. When you look at it like that £25m is an absolute bargain. Cost us £8m to sack Bruce ffs and another £3m to hire the cunt in the 1st place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
