Kid Icarus Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) What we lose with Trippier both on and off the field just honestly isn't even worth it for what we're likely to get like. Vice captain, one of the top assisters in the league never mind at the club. Unbelievably daft move if it goes through.

Guest reefatoon Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This season has been fucking mental. It all started out with so much promise too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Hopefully in future we just stay quiet about financial fair play, being so public seems to have created open season on our squad in the media eyes. Just about everyone of our saleable players has been linked with someone. Hopefully this story turns out to be rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christ Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This is the kind of ruthless deal you have to do under FFP unfortunately. Move on an asset at the peak of its value to reinvest. Of the ‘purple’ players, Trippier is arguably the easiest to lose. That’s not denigrating him as a footballer, because he’s one of the best full backs in Europe, but he’s 33 and we have a readymade replacement in Liveamento who we can’t justify keeping benched. If Botman, Bruno or Isak go on the otherhand we’re absolutely fucked. Gutted if it turns out to be true, but I can see the rationale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he's been off form for the past month he's still been on fire most the season. Be a huge hole in the dressing room as well.

Kanji Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I thought the Eales interview was fucking daft as fuck. And i am speaking from the point of view of someone who works in the public markets over in the USA and forward facing public comments impacting my business massively if statements of that type were made by any of my peers on th executive level.

Holmesy Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 If the personal problems are to be believed, it’s not hard to understand why he would want a change of scenery. But even from a footballing POV it’s not hard to see why he would want to go - last chance to play CL football, 2 English players there already, who would make it easier to settle, likely no European football here next season etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s why we wouldn’t be selling him voluntarily, if he leaves it’s because he wanted the move. We lose far more than we likely gain for a £10-15m fee. The evidence shown by our business so far doesn’t suggest we’d be so ruthless to do this deal, it just doesn’t add up. I can see one of our more valuable assets leaving in the summer for sure, but this move doesn’t make a whole lot of sense on the pitch, in the dressing room or FFP wise. Still, Trippier or any player moving on is never the end of the world and it is all cash that can be reinvested. This is a long term project and plenty more players will come and go.

Said it yesterday but I see no reason why the club or Howe would see value in this deal. The top end of what we could get for him is barely going to get a quality bench option, let alone someone that can offer the kind of leadership he does off the pitch, on the pitch, being the focal point of attack. Seriously fucking gutted about this. Edited January 20 by wormy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will make little difference to FFP and we simply can't replace him for less. He's worth way more than that fee to us. Something else to this story than FFP I feel.

SiLvOR Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 What the fuck. Man, I love Trippier. Will be gutted if/when this happens. I know he's 33 and had a dodgy spell, but I really thought he'd retire here and be part of the coaching set up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) It's a weird one. Something's been off for a couple of months. He's been in poor form fighting with fans and there's rumours all is not well at home. He's been a brilliant captain and player overall, but Livramento has been one of our best players this season and he's 33, so if we get decent cash I guess it makes sense from the club's perspective.
