TRon Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 16 minutes ago, lovejoy said: Fall out yesterday, not sure how big or if it's fixable. He desperately wants away. He seemed to want away in January so I have no idea why we didn't just sell him then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Prontonise Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Should've took that money last season. We are utterly shite at selling players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 I've always been a big fan of Trippier the player but honestly even through the good times I'd watch his interviews etc and whilst on the surface they seemed great and he was saying all the right things I always felt that there was something a little off about him, like he didn't truly believe what he was saying. I don't know I could be way off but that's what I felt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Real shame, best signing made under the new ownership imo in terms of his impact. Pity how it’s ending for him here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 He’s been a mess in his personal life for ages, well over a year. He tried to force his own move away in the summer by going to Dubai off his own back. We should have sold him last Jan, we need to be far more ruthless with sales imo. As I say, there was an internal fall out yesterday. I have no idea how big it was and I have no idea if they’ll resolve it. But he definitely wasn’t ill tonight.

Cheshire Mag Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 Think it’s best for all involved if we can recoup some sort of fee for him in January. His head obviously isn’t here anymore, hopefully Howe/Mitchell can see this now and get something back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 4 Share Posted December 4 (edited) It's really disappointing if he's let his personal problems ruin his football to this extent TBH. I know all footballers are human but it seems a very extreme situation. Maybe he just doesn't have the desire anymore.

Seems odd to kick off in december I'm sure the club is happy to peddle him in January. That being said, if he wants away without a dee he might have a issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know I could be way off but that's what I felt. I think he's just not naturally a stable guy. By his own words it took a lot of work from himself and others to get him to where he got. You hope for the best and want a happily ever after, but in the back of your mind you know it's not guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity how it’s ending for him here Might just be me but it seemed like he was the catalyst for Eddie's great escape from almost certain relegation. An international, a professional footballer, a leader on the pitch and off. Even though he got hurt it seemed to change the vibe (as viewed from way outside). No idea what happened to him but it sure is sad. Edited December 5 by McDog Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 (edited) North of around 4M in wages since the January Bayern bid, not really seen much return on that have we? Him and Almiron would've bought in around 20M in transfers, and we could've saved around 7M in wages when neither player has contributed much to be honest. We really need to be better sellers.

Geogaddi Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 He was an excellent signing no doubt but he has let us down massively these last few months, said at the time but he should have been sold to Bayern last January, would have helped a lot with all that PRS carry on last summer as well and all the unsettling it caused .
