Kieran Trippier

I’m happy to keep him. If there’s not a need to sell him for PSR purposes then I’m not sure why we’d get rid tbh.
 

Most clubs would kill to have a pro like Trippier around the place, even if he’s increasingly going to have to play second fiddle to Tino.

If he stays he'll start against Saints. I mean why wouldn't he? 

He's England's LB/RB from the Euros.

According to the papers, Howe wants to keep everyone.

He's also partial to telling porkies.

This is correct. (Not sure on location but they’ve definitely just bought a new house)

They don’t have to kill - just pay £10m,  he’s getting on and will go on a free next year, we need to get better at cashing in

We should have sold him to Bayern for the reported £13m in January. I said it then, I'll say it again now. Maybe we hoped keeping him would pay off by getting us into Europe but if so, it was a gamble which failed and we've sold young assets instead.

It is what it is. I’m much happier that we’re gambling on getting on Europe than gambling on survival like recent years. You win some you lose some.

Fwiw, it was later reported their third and final offer was something like £6m, having started lower.

It was just reported again today in the Times it was £13m but we were looking for closer to £20m. People on here say it was as low as £2m so I just go with the journalists over the posters on here for the most part, although none of it is verified.

Fair enough, hadn't seen that. But the figure I was quoting was either from Hope or the Athletic (or both) - I can't remember which. Came as a shock at the time, it's somewhere in this thread, a few days after the deal was officially off.

Bloody love Tripps. I was at the Villa game where he scored the freekick and we won 1-0. His presence and leadership that day was top class.

The first signing of the new ownership and symbolises the ambition of the club. He instantly raised levels in the team.
