Sky reporting that 4 Turkish clubs have been rebuffed by Newcastle following enquiries for Trippier. Strap in for 3 more days of Tav to Turkey rumours!

These Turkish guys make me laugh, why would a club like Newcastle let a player they are happy to keep, leave On Loan. Was never going to happen. I would be amazed if the Tav rumours had any substance as well.

Tripper not first choice at moment, if he not too happy then agents not long in putting feelers out.
10 Sep 2024 16:37:23
also reports that Rangers have made enquiring clubs aware that he is not for sale.

Selling him now would not help as it would leave us 1 player down it's simple Tav goes we can't replace him until February if we can get through to the next stage.
10 Sep 2024 20:26:36
Makes no sense to sell him now, not worth saving 3 months wages when we can’t replace. Jan makes much more sense for both club and player. and tbh I don’t think Turkey would be his preference.
10 Sep 2024 20:28:31
Tripper wants a move away wsl.
11 Sep 2024 06:59:40
If we keep Tav and play him, we are still one man down.
11 Sep 2024 08:42:50
He's certainly a huge problem at RB. Unfortunately it look like he's staying.

It was Shankland now it's Tav till we play again. Ok. Tav was an absolute bargain and has been a great servant always fit. Apart from Maeda he's up to the job in this league. Get off his back and appreciate his service until he leaves. Hopefully head held high.

Stormtrooper, it doesn`t matter what he wants, he is under contract to Newcastle . They may even be prepared to sell him at the right price when they can buy a replacement or use the money elsewhere but, my point is, they aren`t going to weaken their squad and loan him out when there is no benefit to them except saving wages. Knowing the Turks they probably want Newcastle to pay a percentage of his wages too. A bunch of chancers.

Unless the team suddenly burst into life, and Clement suprises us all with some new tactics, i Can't see us doing well in the Europa league this season to be honest, we are up against some very talented teams.
If we were going in with Gerrards or Gio's teams and tactics i'd be more optitmistic.
We have struggled against average teams in the league, had a pretty poor pre season, and just been steam rolled by our main rivals.
Our Europa squad is the weakest it's been since Gerrard was brought in and Gio was kicked out.
would love us to have a solid run in europe and the league this year, but seriously dissapointed with the level we are displaying so far.
Our defence is weak, our midfield is talented but still developing, and our attack is quit simply average at best.
Fingers crossed another winter and summer window can level us up to where we should be.
The club is clearly short of funds, with our failed player trading model now reduced mainly to loan to buys and allowing players to leave for silly money.
we have a long way to go before we can dominate Celtic and hit the european level of previous seasons.
If it all goes pear shaped by the winter window, i highly doubt Clement will still be our manager.
He is not to blame for the current mess, but our board has a bad habit of putting the manager on the chopping block for their shortcomings and the backwards direction the clubs taken over succesive seasons.
The club was nicely setup both for success in the league and extended runs in europe, and that has literally been torn apart in 3 seasons, the fans deserve way better than what have all witnesses over the last few years as our squad has devalued season after season, due to us allowing far to many quality player leave for free, or selling for rediculously low prices, only for other clubs to profit from their aquisitions, these idiotic mistakes have dragged us back 4-5 years from where we were not so long ago.
Potentially there is good young team in the making but Clement does not seem to have the tactical knowledge to make it work, as demonstrated to date.
It took roughly 10 minutes for Celtic to work out how to nullify his tactics, we may not even get that long against the level of teams we are up against in the new Europa League format.
