ponsaelius Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Doesn't need an extension if he's already got another year. I've thought he should go off into the sun on a high tbh but he's playing so well at the moment that I'm leaning towards wanting him to stay. Particularly if there is only pittance of a fee and saved wages on the table. We'd probably need to sign another fullback if he went and it'd be easier if we could kick the can down the road on that.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) As well as being our best RB is he our best captain of the last 30 years or so? I cant remember anyone playing like he does. He's always with someone. Talking them through something. Edited April 17 by Super Duper Branko Strupar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Playing a significant amount of games across 4 competitions next season and then him getting one last pay day on a free is probably the best for all concerned TBH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondonewc Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 He's been immense in recent games, his legendary status at the club is locked in, and as said above there's no question he's the best RB to play for Newcastle in the modern era. However, I think best for both parties would be for Trippier to move on this Summer. He's 5th highest in wages at the club I believe, that's a lot of wages going to a backup RB which is what he will be next season. Sure he has a lot of experience, but we have many senior players with good experience now, and more importantly all who've now won something. We can't keep hold of everyone forever, as much as we love them, and for him it seems best to go somewhere he'll be 1st choice for the last stage of his career, he spoke about this in an interview with Neville that he's no issue dropping down leagues if he needs to in order to play, so that may well be his wish.

Smal Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I think his leadership alone is worth the wages tbh. Especially when you consider you would have to replace him if he left - it’s not like you just wipe out the wages and there’s no transfer fee etc. to bring in a replacement.

I maybe undervaluing the leadership element, but I don't think that's justification to keep a backup RB on such big wages given the trust I have in the management team and the amount of experience we have among the players in the dressing room. My heart says he's earned the right to choose when he goes, my head says we need to be ruthless in moving players out at the right time and this Summer feels like the right time for me with Trippier.

Ronson333 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Take him off set pieces for heaven’s sake. It’s crazy he’s on all of them, surely the management team must see this too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andycap Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 When we ain't playing well setpieces are the evener so letting someone constantly fuck them up can't be happening. Tindall should have got word to tripps to switch the taker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. We’d need another RB anyway as we’re going to have plenty of games. One more season with roughly 15-20 starts across all comps IMO. His leadership and on field coaching is massive.

The Prophet Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I wonder if we'll keep hold of him with a view to bringing Shahar through the season after. He's highly rated and been training with the first team squad a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's highly rated and been training with the first team squad a lot. That would be perfect. Shahar shadowing Tripps and Tino for a season, possibly a LC match or three and some games against the relegation fodder at home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I’d love him to stay now, makes perfect sense if Hall is back and he doesn’t have to play so many game. Great person to have in the squad if his focus is right. Certainly won’t be actively selling him unless he really wants to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
