Remember when we beat them 3-0 and he was directly responsible for all the goals đđ
Having a 33,35 and 39 year old right back would also be immaculate vibes
Well he’s not good anymore, but at least he’s less injury prone than every other right back we have.
As a short term option at RB, we could do a lot worse than bringing Trippier in.
Big Dyche guy as well so youâd presume heâs up for it.
Heâs still performing levels above any of our other RBs and itâs just a loan. Assuming we arenât paying insane wage coverage, this would be a FANTASTIC move for us this year. Market is limited and so are the funds
Cover at right and left back at a level above Young. Gets us to the summer and allows us to then focus our efforts there.
This is 100% going to happen. Old Burnley player, selling team need to raise funds, we have no RBs, dyche will love that.
I’m not against it but he’s probably on a decent wage, has looked bad for the last 6 months at least and would still be a short term solution.
As a creative RB, it would give a lot of cover for us in the short term, plus someone who isnât Mason Holgate
Big step up for him at that age. Hope he can handle it.
Covers RB and LB, means we don’t have to rely on Young. Means we can sell Holgate and reinvest in midfielder or attack. Feels like a good option.
Ends the Dixon debate too. He can go on loan and have a bit of space and time to develop.
Despite his obvious flaws, trippier looks like Gareth Bale next to Ashley young. Itâs a no brainer of an upgrade.
Heâs very good friends with Dyche apparently, can see this actually happening.
Still a quality player, good leader and fantastic set piece delivery. I’d do a loan in heartbeat, he’s an enormous improvement on what we have now.
Defensively, heâll have his challengesâthen again, which of our right backs doesnât? But imagine Trippier whipping in those free kicks to our towering meat head centre backs. Thatâs a recipe for some serious chaos in the box.
him whipping in crosses would probably be a boon for DCL at least. don’t love it, don’t trust him to stay healthy, but we need literally anyone at RB and he’s still levels about young/coleman
I hope DCL has got his bags packed too – whilst weâre at the table with Newcastle
We really are just collecting geriatric RBs
I don’t hate it…
Have thought heâs overrated for the past couple of years. Plus the age thing. Are we only allowed to sign 30+ year old RBs?
Dyche has openly said he’s his favourite player ever, and whenever Dyche gets brought up Trippier gets a big cheesy, and we could use some experience in that position. The stars have aligned.
He will play every week, end up captain, and take all set pieces. No Brainer
His age is not ideal but he is a massive improvement to Young.
Would be a great cover for both sides on loan. Probably not match ready though, considering he only played 68 min of preseason match because of his break after the Euros.
