Delphinho123 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Trippier on loan, even covering all his wages, would be an insanely good signing. It would fill a position we’re looking to strengthen whilst not denting our actual transfer budget much (wages aside). If we’re serious about spending 30-40m on 3/4 signings this summer, you couldn’t turn your nose up at this transfer. Can’t see it happening, mind. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge signing if we can make it. Hopefully it goes through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MadridVilla Posted August 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Trippier story is absolute BS. I say this as Atletico are my second team, and I saw more of them last year than I did Villa. He was perhaps a surprise package given that he had arrived without much of a fanfare, and it was impressive how quickly he adapted into Simeone's system. Perhaps I'm biased as an Englishman but he was one of my favourite players last year for Atleti. Trippier is liked a lot by Simeone and he has pretty much nailed the starting right back spot ahead of Arias and Vrsaljko. Funnily enough I ended up on a flight with him from Madrid to wonderful Birmingham a few months back, he was off to St George's Park for some treatment to an injury he had and I asked him about interest from Villa a few years back before he joined Spurs. Let's just say it's fair to say he saw Villa as below his level before he joined Spurs (rightly so), and I don't think that's changed having moved to a top European club. He'd said he'd quite happily retire out in Spain - and I'm sure he's said on record somewhere else he would only consider playing for Burnley in the future.

paul514 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Riiiight so someone who has so far succeeded in Spain at a top club will suddenly move back to England for an inferior team for what must be a fee similar to what Aarons would be and for wages of what? 150-200k?

M_Afro Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Surely by this time next week we will have signed a couple of players. I am really starting to get concerned about the mental health of the average VTer.

Was a weird moment when Villa on Tour turned up at a Spain game I was at, two worlds collide. Never met another Villa fan when I was living there, but I left plenty of project B6 stickers dotted around the city to spread the good word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Trippier's done well at Atletico Madrid, would be surprised if they let him go unless he hasn't settled. If it's Telegraph it's Percy isn't it..... Would certainly be a means business signing so can see where SGC is coming from. Again this age thing is weird, club have really done well in seemingly brainwashing half the fanbase that anyone over the age of 25 is rubbish and shouldn't be signed. Believe it or not but there are loads of poor footballers aged under 25 and we signed a few last summer. We signed Scott Hogan when he was 24 and will hardly get anything back for him so no guarenteed you'll get money back for under 25 players, same for the over aged ones. Just look at Sevilla the other day. Banega (32 years old) and Fernando (33 years old) running their midfield.
