This is going to sound like a massive ****tease but several of our ITKs told us about Trips and Rose several days ago and have been keeping us updated but were told absolutely not to make it public.

I know that's frustrating and sounds like revisionist bull**** but it is true. That's the main reason the ITK thread has been empty for a few days, everyone was sitting waiting for this news to break so they could start talking again!
Did they say who will be replacing?

The jitters start again. It has felt like the calm before the storm. Poch said it might be painful and it appears to be heading that way. Would be sad for Rose to go but we do need a freshen up - whether this is the right call...

My thoughts have always been though if people dont want to stay then as sad as it is, they need to move on as it brings a team down. Rose is quality though.

So we know Trippier’s destination is Atheltico but what about Rose’s?

Cheers Rob, thats good to hear!

Hopefully it’s because we have something up our sleeve regarding replacements!

Thanks for the info Rob ... if the ITKs were on lockdown until the news broke then it suggests we did not want to jeopardise any business we were doing during that period... incomings imminent?

Thanks Rob, good to know that all is well in ITK Towers!

I wonder why we were so keen to keep Rose and Trippier quiet but there seemed to be info coming out all the time regarding our record signing a few weeks back?

You’d have to think so. Pointless keeping quiet on outgoings unless dealing with identical replacements at the same time.

Losing DR won't be a big mistake. He was fantastic for a couple of seasons but those days are gone. He's still good, and very determined, but that's all.

If we let rose go, it's a mistake. Always gives his all, and we always look better with him playing to his best.
Agree he’s a quality player BUT as I’m sure you’re aware he very publicly criticised the club which you simply cannot do. That + the fact he’s more injury prone and not getting any younger I think now is the time to sell him, this is the end of the first ‘chapter’ under poch and we need a good clear out to ‘start again’ so to speak and build the next chapter and move towards the next level to start winning big titles now.

COYS.

Easily one of the best LBS in the EPL. Selling his quality so short. Wont be easily replaced and will be sorely missed when he leaves. Gutted TBH if he leaves.

Makes sense. We do need to sell to buy now after spending 70m. So we sell Trippier and Rose, we get in the Sess FB brothers. Then it’ll be quiet again until someone else leaves.

Thanks for the update. All in line with strong hints that we will potentially see a lot of movement. As do all the rumours to do with RM and a number of different players as we were told to watch Madrid this summer. Frustrating for us as fans who just want to see players in that we need but I guess understandable in the complex high finance of top transfers across Europe
Agree, I think the plan was always to get the priority signing Ndomble over the line in time for pre season all the while out more irons on the fire start spinning those plates and then the final few weeks will be where we pull the trigger as usual in a transfer window where the majority of deals are done as clubs agents and players make their poker moves. Big few weeks to come guys :)
