General transfer rumours

Disgusting. Next thing you know they’ll be bribing VAR officials and robbing us of our biggest cheat title…

Nah; they're only novices in the biggest cheat stakes. They'll never take that one off us.

£30m for Trippier, a 31 year old right back?

I suppose it's a case of how much is survival worth.

I'm guessing our sell on clause is well out of date. Seriously though , £30 m is some price if Athletico can get it

Expensive isn't it!?

They don't care how much he costs, let's face it, they're minted - they just get a reliable, Prem-proven player who fits Howe's system at a vital time of the season.

Reminds me of us signing the likes of Kolo - albeit we weren't on the verge of relegation!

And both were superb signings .
