So you’re telling me there’s a transfer window approaching and the club have briefed the press that they have little to spend? Interesting.

I’ve been really, really confused by this talk about him. I don’t watch other teams that much so what do I know? But I saw him come on as a sub against us last season when we beat them at SJP and he was appallingly bad.

No it doesn't. It's a sample size of one, for which there is an elephantine mitigating factor. It was this assertion that led to me assuming you were using the word 'somehow' in good faith.

‘somehow’

Lovely stuff.

WTF was that about!?

He just meant he’s fast man you absolutely fannies

The last time we finished 2 consecutive seasons in the top 6 was 2 decades ago. Has us within 6 games of it despite all of the challenges this season and what he inherited. Would be a remarkable achievement.

Absolutely class game to be there with the boy. We always walk out past the away fans as he likes the atmosphere. As our fans were singing ‘it’s a long way back to London when you’re shit’ I looked down at him and he was looking back with a ridiculously smug grin

I think a lot of us are understandably scarred by past approaches to selling players and also the way players saw the club. That’s not the case now though, we’re a legitimate club challenging for CL places. Yeah, we’ve had a down year, but it’s not like we’ve been in a relegation fight. Players who like being here aren’t necessarily going to be desperate to leave because of one season of terrible luck. As long as we’re ambitious we have a good chance of retaining him.

If Tripps leaves it’s a no brainer IMO. If he stays though I think it’s captain Tripps.

Don’t understand the desire for a morally pure ascent to the top. Actually, I do. I just think it’s pie in the sky. We’ve sat and watched Chelsea and Man City buy their way to the top, having a great time doing it and then settling as ‘big clubs’ regularly winning things. Let’s just do that? Enough of this soft cock nonsense, spend a fortune and steam roller everyone for a few years, it would be absolutely mint.

Hahahahahaha

I think a few folk would be wise to remember what tends to happen to players once they are working with Eddie, they get better. Same as the Gordon transfer for me, I wouldn’t be hugely excited but I’d expect him to be extremely effective within months.
