Newcastle told to pull the plug on last-gasp Kieran Trippier sale – fans react

Tue 3 September 2024 18:00, UK

Newcastle United fans have warned the club that selling Kieran Trippier in the next fortnight would be a “mistake.”

It was reported this week that the full-back could still leave St. James’ Park as the transfer window remains open in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

Football Insider did reveal that the Magpies will attempt to block any moves for the former England international in the coming weeks.

This is despite Tino Livramento seemingly replacing the 33-year-old as Eddie Howe’s first-choice right-back.

Trippier has not started a game in the Premier League this season, having only played 32 minutes of top-flight football so far.

Trippier retired from international duty following the European Championships this summer, allowing him to concentrate on club football moving forward.

While the transfer window remains open in certain countries, Newcastle could not replace Trippier until January at the earliest.

Many fans have highlighted the club failed to sign a right centre-back this summer, and allowing Trippier to leave would weaken the squad without any backup.

The only thing that could possibly make this shambles of a transfer window even worse would be if @NUFC sell Trippier AFTER we get a chance to replace him. Yes he fell off a bit last season but I’d rather have him available than not. Madness if this happens. https://t.co/uZHMz2h0y4

Unless we're signing a free agent who can play either CB or RB, this makes no sense https://t.co/6rCA4mXI1r

Unless they’re going to pay us silly money he has to stay now until January, I was fine with him moving on but not when we can’t replace him https://t.co/uxgBjDBb1Z

It would be the biggest mistake to allow Trippier to leave, especially when we didn't bring in a RCB in the summer. Any injury to RCB or RB and we've got back up.

Surely the club won't allow it. #NUFC

Would I have sold trippier in January… yes

Would I have sold trippier in the summer window… yes

Would I sell trippier now? Absolutely not.

Again if the board sanction it questions need to be asked.#NUFC

I agree.
Would not be a good look if he left now.
Would stink of zero planning ….

With the transfer window we had this would make no sense at all. Surely we should keep him till January at least.

That's a strong No.

This window hasn't been great by any stretch but losing Trippier would make it a total disaster. #nufc https://t.co/JtqsY1Bw3C
