wfmk2 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 He came in when we were on our arses, and helped us get to the UCL. Will always be a legend in my eyes. His house was burgled while on England duty. Burglaries can be traumatising , particularly for families with young children, and his form dipped immediately afterwards. If this is the best move for him and his family, I cannot begrudge it.

TRon Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 2 hours ago, christ said: 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. Depends if there's any sort of reasonable recompense for us in it. People who are throwing around figures of £20m are going to be sorely disappointed. Not even Chelsea would pay that for a 33 year old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This most likely was here already, but anyway Quote Florian Plettenberg @Plettigoal Excl. News #Trippier: Verbal agreement between FC Bayern & Trippier has been reached now! The 33 y/o keen to join Bayern immediately Bayern and Newcastle in contact. Chr. Freund still prefers a loan deal with Mukiele, but he’s preparing for the possibility that the deal might fail. Trippier is standing by as a new Plan B. I think if we get a decent fee he is off. He seems to want to join, we already have a replacement and FFP-wise it makes sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also depends on how long his initial contract was for....if it was 2 years than anything over £6m will show as profit, and will be helpful on paper. On the pitch the other hand...

Make no mistake we are going to be a worse side for him leaving, but I can understand why we have to do it if we get a decent fee. It seems he wants to be away so we just have to make sure we the money makes it sting less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that this is FFP. There’s been rumours circulating about Trippier for a while; besides, Bayern are one of the world’s biggest clubs. He can hardly be blamed for being interested in the move.

Who nobody wanted to challenge for a header, aye. Considering our gameplan consists of free kicks into the box from the halfway line onwards. And we don’t really have anyone decent after Trippier at taking set pieces, bar maybe Targett. It is a bit of a concern. You know. Along with losing everything else Trippier brings to the team, as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Howe is going to do that mid-season should Trippier leave. Been doing it pretty much since he started managing us. Would just mean we have someone doing the same. But with a worse delivery.

St1pe Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Selling him this window while we’ve been briefed numerous times we’re at the limits of ffp, will likely sell one of bigger players in the future (probably Bruno) and we can’t even afford a loan deal is horrendous for morale and the outward message on the direction of the club. It’s going to be really hard to spin that as a positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
