Think it's clear at this point that Howe is happy keeping Burn as first choice LB. Trippier is probably third choice for that position; he's so influential from RB so there'd have to be an extremely good reason to move him.

LB is not as urgent as RB.

And the roles are not the same. In our current system, going forward, RB charges forward, LB tucks in to a back 3. There is some fluidity obviously.

 

If Trippier gets injured, we are screwed.

Is the system not the way because of the personnel ? If through injuries or whatever Trippier did play left then he'd play the same way but on the left.

 

Not advocating it btw, just thinking Livramento, should he come, alters things even short term as things stand.

I would guess we’d bring Targett in rather than move Trippier over. 

Trippier left/Livramento right or Trippier right/Targett left ?

 

There's an argument either way.

No, most modern teams attack with a back 3 and a box midfield, but like I said, there is some fluidity in our system. 

Our LB and RB roles are not the same. 

I dont think it's the LB and RB roles as much as Trippiers and Burns roles.

I said it in another thread but Tripper is 33 in a couple of months, even with the fact he's an absolute professional,  there's no way he can play in 40+ games. He made 38 league appearances last season and that's the most he's made for any club since Burnley in 14/15.

 

The games he misses we sorely lack any quality at RB, Livramento adds this and fills the spot for the next 5 years minimum. Its good for Tripps as well, we're better of having him in peak condition for 25 games than stretched out and underperforming over 38 games.

What’s a ‘win-win’ offer?

Nonsense sound bite, translates to we give them what they want. 
 

this is a fascinating one for me, Yee clear extremely talented and wants to play regularly, he’s not coming here to warm the bench.

IIRC in Brighton game Burn’s average position was way higher than Trippier’s and we dominated them. Most likely Eddie throwing a curve ball to de Zerbi and it worked a treat and showed that we are not that limited tactically due to Burn’s lankiness.

Aye, it’s total nonsense. They want over £30m for an extremely talented player who’s had a whole season off with the worst injury you can get in football, and they’ve been relegated. Livramento clearly wants to come so the win for them is selling him for the most money they can. The win for us is buying him for the least money we can. The two are diametrically opposed

Looking like things are finaly moving now to sign Livramento

Tino Livramento will NOT travel with the Southampton squad ahead of their first game of the Championship season tomorrow night.

The Saints are due to face Sheffield Wednesday in their opening game of the 2023/24 season following relegation, but it’s emerged that the 20-year-old will play no part.
