No matter how many good performances he puts in, I can’t shake the perception I have of him not being good enough to be in a CL-chasing Premier league squad, an injury away from the first team. Probably a bit unfair, I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Feel this is the right time to say goodbyes, his mind is elsewhere with his personal issues and has been ever since he pulled out of the England squad and he's not getting any younger, his performances at the Euros was average at best. Will go down as an immensely important player in our modern history. Obviously there'll be a lot of captain hindsights saying we should have took Bayern bid but can't get every decision perfect. Best of luck Tripps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they’ve realised as soon as Ronaldo retires the league is totally irrelevant and given up? Was more talking about the constant ITK chatter asserting he’d be off to the kingdom as soon as the window opened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Turning down that Bayern bid was crackers. We'd be lucky to get £5m for him now. Considering he was our captain, something must have seriously pissed off Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near where he’s from, better chance of first team football, Pickford one of his best mates, fresh start after personal drama. All makes sense. Would prefer he wasn’t at Everton but best of luck to him, should always be appreciated here. Wish he’d lifted our first trophy. Fair enough then. That all makes sense. Everton have to cough up some money though. We need every bit we can get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 It says he wants regular football. Obviously been told Tino is ahead of him for the foreseeable. We can’t be keeping a player as good as Tino back for another season because of a 34 year old Trippier who was questionable on more than a few occasions last season. Think we need to sign a new RB. Not much faith has been placed in Ashby so far so don’t know if they feel he can step up. Prob would be a good idea to sign a young replacement with room to grow ala Osula.

Rich Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 We could do with more of a playmaker type for the right flank if we’re going all in on Tino, like. Let him handle the ball carrying and overlapping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 11 minutes ago, Smal said: had a tricky month or so last season and ever since it's felt like he's not really been in it. His leadership just disappeared. I think this is more your perception of things than the actual reality. There's nothing to indicate that he isn't as much of a leader figure within the squad now as when he first joined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Not surprised he wants out, and hopefully we don’t try and keep him. Great servant for what he’s giving, but it’s the right time to part our ways. He’s only going to get worse on pitch and let’s remember the good times rather than continued poor form which will happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 How the fuck were we meant to sell him in Jan when we literally were 60% injured? Whatever we did or didn’t do in January is irrelevant, we finished 7th and would have had Europe if not for city giving away a cup final to the worst man united side in ages.

And seconded on Krafth, he's solid, but not much more than that imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 No way a loan should do. A sad end to his time here, I felt he would've retired here and moved into coaching with us.

I remember thinking we should sell as it just felt like the right time, as the money was good, and it would have been a fantastic club for him to join, especially with Kane there.

ads Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I think it's very simple to look back on Bayern interest in January and say "We should have sold him when we had the chance", but we were in the midst of a desperate injury crisis and had we cashed in on Tripps at that point with potentially no incomings, there'd have been uproar.

NE27 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 What a entirely sad way to end this is. Echo the thoughts of others about him being a bit of a cult hero here. Whatever has happened outside of football has totally derailed that it seems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
