Trippier to Newcastle 12 million

[Tall Paul]

If they cannot survive on the interest they receive then they have massively overspent. Footballers will use the “bank managers” within the banking system that we only see passing by. Each bank has a specialist dedicated to large investment accounts that operate from within the established banking network… my cousin has just retired in his forties and is building a 2m house in preparation on the back of such commissions….

Very few footballers can spend the weekly interest they accrue, let alone dig into their savings. They are propelled into the super rich and their families should be in clover for generations… such is the overpayment of footballers.

The interest rate is next to nothing at the moment. How much do you think they'd need to have in the bank to earn enough interest to live off?

The standard interest rate is next to nothing, they do not deal in standard interest rates. Santander is one I have come across (sadly not my account) it has a fancy name, but is under the Santander umbrella, who only deal with multi million pound accounts. I think at the time it was upwards of 30% interest. Going back to the early 1980’s when the pools were paying out 2m jackpots the interest alone would have netted 2k a week, even on a single contract players earn more than a pools win used to give out.

[Johma]

Oh how I wish I could believe that; i think that Newcastle can and will buy themselves out of the relegation zone by the end of January, I suspect that Tripps is just the first of half a dozen new faces at St James' Park. That said, if they were to spend 100+ million and agree commensurate salaries but still get relegated, how would that play out with regard to FFP rules in the Championship?

Existing squad - 90% know they wont be around for the so called revolution. No onus to get em out of the ****

Spend big - bringin in 3 or 4 marquee players wont allow enough time to gel as a squad. Big money men in with the current minions. No time to get em.out of the ****

Too far behind already for me with games played and GD

Even the manager wont be there this time next year

I wonder if we are one of the five?

[aggi]

Like in all walks of life, you sometimes think a career change might good and the money you've accumulated could sustain you for a period while you try something different.

Yet in football players just seem to want to get as much money as they can, even though they can't spend anymore, once they've got the houses/house they desire, along with 2/3 cars they've always wished for.

No different to most other walks of life. You don't get actors or investment bankers working for free having made a few million.

In all seriousness I’d be extremely surprised. For me he is not the kind of player who stands up to be counted in a scrap. A flair player who can turn a game but I’d imagine he is not even top ten in our wish lists for this window. His recent record at Barca is hardly inspiring, they’ve been trying to move him on since about five minutes after he arrived at Camp Nou.

That was the rumour this morning, but also seen Spurs are thought to be among them, so that may well be in the balance, yet.

[Vegas Claret]

Very cheap

144k per week, 2.5 year deal with an option for a third - 12 million rising to 24 - not cheap for a 31 year old

[AlargeClaret]

Newc look very much a fast sinking ship imo . Bringing a few fancy players in mid season rarely works and tends to just bring dressing room tensions out even more .Trips would be decent enough though . They’re hardly short on quality per se , it’s the whole disjointed high pressure mess which is always an issue at SJP . We’ve 2 games in hand and way better GD and regardless of how we fare I’d expect Newc to go down along with Norwich and one from any of Burn/Wat/Brent/Leeds/Everton

Wonder how much of his wages they'll pay, seeing as he's on £380k a week...

That was in the 80's, please tell me where you can get interest rates over 2 or 3% these days.

Newcastle having issues with all their new signings is probably our best hope of survival.

Can't see Brentford going down with the points they've already amassed, Everton and Leeds will markedly improve once they both get players back.

For me Norwich are already gone, so it's simply a case of Burnley finishing above Newcastle and Watford, not impossible by any means, but we do need to start winning games pronto.

[Myk]

So Agent Tripps now then yeah? Get them relegated then leave on a free to us. Job done.

I disagree-Newcastle will be hard to beat at home , with that support behind them, and several additions. They also have several match winners in Wilson, St Maxim, and Joel Linton has become a different player under Howe. They should have beaten Man Utd easily the other night. They have more momentum right now than we have, plus we play them last game

They may need alternatives to Wilson as he could be out for a few more weeks.

[AlargeClaret]

Last day shootout at home be almost “ Orient-esque”

[Stayingup]

Bet he can't believe his luck, can still do a job but at 31 to get that move....what do you reckon he'll be on...100k a week?

I saw somewhere it was £77k / week. Keep him going in Summerseat for a few years anyway.

[elwaclaret]

I’ll let you know when I need it. In the meantime I will happily bow to your superior knowledge, that footballers have their money in standard division accounts as it’s my cousin that is an investment banker, not me.

Haha If there was any possibility of Coutinho joining Burnley, he would be in the top 1 on our list. 10 times better than any of our players.

[elwaclaret]

What has being ten times better than any of our players got to do with not being a priority signing that has been touted around by Barcelona, every since signing? Why did Barcelona sign him… his quality, so why want shut so quickly… it was within weeks of him arriving.

Who said footballers have their money in standard division accounts? I didn't.

I'm sure an investment banker could get returns of quite a bit more than 2 or 3%, probably even enough for a footballer to live off if they invested enough, but then that wouldn't be the same as interest, which is what you were talking about originally. It also wouldn't be without risk of losing their money.

As you wish Paul, I come on here to chat not argue.

Over £120k a week I read. 3 year contract with no relegation clause.

Is he really that good? I always liked Tripps but, that is OTT

His agent knew how important it was for them to get one over the line.

[Woodleyclaret]

Let's shut this thread now nothing more to say

It's all about the Agents. Pretty sad reflection on the modern game

Sadly, I couldn’t agree more.

[Yanquiclaret]

Newcastle are rich and desperate everybody knows this. They will overpay for all their signings pay them all stupid money and none of them will have relegation clauses. Any decent professional signing for us with a relegation clause? I wouldn’t and I have been a Claret my entire life.

[Cubanforever]

Won’t Trippier play until he’s 36 or 37ish?

I think he’s one of those players who will play until his body totally gives up. Plenty of life in the not so old dog!

I agree he could play for a long time, but at the top level with his role Id be surprised if he's still as good in 2 to 3 years time...at the top level.....of course if Newcastle get relegated he could last a lot longer....especially if they go down to league one....wouldnt that be a thing (joking)

I try to be placid and open minded and considered. But, I don’t think I could hide my smug delight if Newcastle were to bomb like so many in the past have. God forgive me, for the grin your post produced.

Absolutely.
In the thirties injury recovery rates increase massively, and injuries are statistically more likely, taking on any 30 + aged players carries a risk

On the BBC website Eddie Howe is quoted as saying that Trippier joining Newcastle has nothing to do with the money but the "challenge".

Obviously, that "challenge" will be a lot more lucrative at Newcastle than it would be at Burnley.

Tripps was largely excellent for us but he did struggle a couple of times against pace. Seem to remember him getting ripped a new one by Antonio when he was still at Sheff Wed.

[SalisburyClaret]

Nobody could accuse Trippier of being excellent in defence. Terrific going forward and a superb crosser, he’ll create a lot of chances at Newcastle but their defence won’t be improved

[jrgbfc]

Simeone wouldn't pick a right back who couldn't defend. I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be any comments about his defending if he'd signed for us!

[RVclaret]

Rubbish, you’ve clearly not watched him much over the past 2 years. He was the highest rated defender in the entire La Liga last season (WhoScored ratings) and part of the tightest defence in the league. To suggest he won’t improve the second worst defence in the Prem is just bizarre.

Trippier has always been excellent in pragmatic sides, Burnley, Atlético & for England under Southgate.

Less so during his time with us under Howe and whilst at Spurs under Pochettino who are both more attack minded managers.

Not about money.
