Football for me is so much about the sentimentality and sense of belonging that keeping people like him brings, even at the expense of progress. I know it's daft, I can't help it. I don’t think keeping him stunts any progress at all, he’s pretty much indispensable for the short/mid term and it would be especially silly to sell mid season. We’ve all got good reason to be pleased he’s staying. Edited January 25 by Nine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I don't think I _wanted_ him gone, per se, but I would have made peace with it pretty fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going to be the ffp world I fear unless something is done. Seems every move football makes goes away from romance.

Nobody Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Would've taken an absolutely ridiculous amount of money for me to have been fine with this transfer. Talks of £10-15m was an absolute joke for me. Obviously 'no one is paying more for a 33 year old full back', well if that's the case you simply don't get the best performing RB in Europe. He's been so vital for us since coming here, and I'm over the moon that we've told Bayern to fuck off and the he's staying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been excellent here overall, but is getting "old" and has shown some weakness lately. Not that sentimental about him myself, would be more sad to see Miggy go.

I’m not a great sentimentalist when it comes to players being transferred in and out - it’s the nature of the game. I’m aware that I do have a Pedro Corinthian figure as my avatar mind I’m happy to retain good players, but it should be the manager’s choice. As long as any sale is done in the manager’s judgement for the best of the club then I’ve no issue - no player is ‘unsellable’ for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, how about we just keep him instead? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 It just didn’t make sense right? He’s worth more to us than when Bayern can justify as fee. in guessing Bayern hoped for a distressed sale so thought it was doable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 My favourite part of the whole saga was Lothar Mattaus of all people going on about Trippier’s age - beautifully ironic, given how old Mattaus was when he last played for Bayern. I know Mattaus was a far better player, but still … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelphish Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 What makes them think we'd accept a loan? Banking on being bully boys and Trippier kicking off surely. Bayern in the mud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erikse Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) 13 hours ago, Joe1984 said: All we need now is for Trippier to say he wants to leave. Then the NUFC circus can continue. (Please don't Kieran!) Even if he wanted to, we would probably just tell him that he can go in the summer instead. It's hard to reinvest and/or replace someone in january. I'm sure he would understand that. Edited January 25 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like his resale value is going to solve our FFP position and you would think he would really add value to the coaching staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
