KSA not happy with it but willing to accept it begrudgingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Boyo Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 He’s been a great captain for us, which goes without saying. This is where my worry is. There’s no one currently who seems to have as much impact on the team as he does in that area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Looking at Tripps last season, I reckon he's on the fade, best time to sell IMO, great player for us though and for me I'd put him in the same category as Woodgate as great defenders for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) Love what Trippier has done for us but if we can get 15 million for him we should be accepting it . A lot of signs defensively last season that he is past his best and Tino is surely going to be our first choice next season. Only issue is his leadership would be hugely missed.

ExiledGeordie Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I could see the Trippier thing happening though I’d rather he stayed. Away from the limelight in Saudi might be what he looks for plus barrel loads of cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) £15m? Ding ding ding. All things considered, it can't be sniffed at. With no European football, him or Livramento would be privately upset at the lack of game time next season. Edited May 29 by 80 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) I'm a lot more open to Trippier going now I think. I love him, but he appears to have taken a bit more of a back seat, his form hasn't been brilliant, despite his brilliant output we haven't struggled to score without him, and Tino while not being at Trippier's level yet, really needs to be starting now to progress. I'd keep him if it was possible, but it might be something that just needs to happen. Edited May 29 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 If Trippier going means we can make Bruno the “on field” captain when Lascelles isn’t playing then it’s a sacrifice worth making imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BergenMagpie Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Love Tripps, but it would be perfect to sell him on now then have him come back as a coach in a year or so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with a Burn/Bruno combo as the captaincy team with the likes of Tonali, Schar & Joelinton being leader figures too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 13 hours ago, Ronaldo said: If we‘re having players winding down their careers here I’d rather have winners. @Kid Icarus The squad lacks a genuine winning mentality, and having players around that never had the talent and/or proclivity to do anything other than pick up their wages the second a modicum of ambition was injected is a barrier to cultivating that.

Always got away with nailed on yellows when I was captain, albeit about 11 leagues lower Possibly another reason to make him captain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enthusiast Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Speaking of agent mams, was racking me brain trying to remember this one the other day: who was that German lad we were linked with in the Ashley years whose agent-mam was the image of a German heavy metal tart?

mondonewc Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 He's 34 in September, one of our biggest earners, and we have Tino and Hall primed to take on starting roles RB/LB, so whilst he should go down as one of if not our best ever defenders, and one of our best ever signings, for 15m would wish him well and move him on.

James Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) I’m not sold on Bruno as captain, he could be great but equally he is always on a bit of a knife edge between passion and going too far. He is right on the sweet spot right now to that regard so giving him the captaincy is a risk. notable that the captain armband has pretty much been around everyone except him this season.

I'll see your knife edge and raise you a million games without getting booked to avoid suspension last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
