Scoot Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Once again people been taken in by these so called ITK journalists on twitter when its quite clear its not as close as they say. I include myself in that. It's obvious we're after him so we just have to let it play out. We have 2 weeks until our next league game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Just now, Jackie Broon said: We'd be daft to bid the release clause amount straight away. I don’t disagree - but once our initial speculative bid gets rejected, how long does it take to get it completed? It’s a hugely important signing, not just to improve on the pitch, but send out a statement to other players who may be on the fence about joining. In this case I’d be getting terms agreed instantly and bringing him in, to allow progress elsewhere. We need the player, player is happy to join and has a decently priced release clause. Any delay just encourages some other scabby team like Chelsea to come in for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when it’s as straightforward as this signing. Might explain my impulsive and unnecessary purchases when the mrs sends me to the shops.

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Hasn't Simeone already said it's up to the player now? Suggests the agreement has been made? If so, wouldn't be surprised if Trippier's team are doing a bit of the ol' waiting game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bompeter Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I can't see this happening and don't really buy the idea that Trippier is keen. Why would he give up being a starter for Simeone to get involved in a potentially turgid relegation battle? Expect this one to slowly peter out over the next fortnight.

We might have a lot of money behind us but our owners clearly aren't going to be pushovers. Edited January 2, 2022 by Jackie Broon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Really hope we can do more than one piece of business at a time. If we don't, we simply won't have time to get deals done if we haggle like mad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to stop turning this place into RAWK and seeing any sort of questions asked as criticism that isn’t allowed. People are rightly concerned the consortium has again been pushing this deal in the media, despite it not being as close as reported. ”No red flags” ”Emery coming in within 24 hours” Their track record on this is poor. They need to cut it out. I think this deal will ultimately happen, but it’ll be another unnecessary embarrassment if we fuck about too much and someone else nips in for him.

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Also, in any deal there are numerous parties involved, why are people automatically having a go at the consortium and accusing them of leaking stuff If it gets to the Watford game and we haven't signed anyone then I'll be concerned Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I expect we’ll sign him but the longer it goes on the longer we give someone else the opportunity to shithouse in. Or, pick up a long term injury playing a game today. It’s unnecessary risk taking, imo. Said the same about delaying sacking Bruce (despite being called a bedwetter then too) and that has ultimately cost us already.
