Tripps to Toffees???

Howe saying all is ok with Trippier today and doesn’t know where the rumours are from. As the Yanks would say: “go figure”!

There's a rabbit off somewhere, like.

We will find out one way or another in the next week.

Anyways, I’d be gutted to see him to leave! He kicked off the good times for us, and I still think he has a lot to offer, and will see plenty of first team action this season!!

He had a much shorter pre season due to being in Euro final so I’d expect him to be eased into the starting squad.

Maybe he found training to EH’s standards a step up, might have had a limp on his left leg, but his friends misheard and thought he’s said ‘lump on before he’s left’

Would like him to stay, a wealth of experience for our fullbacks and we owe him for what he has contributed, but wouldn't be upset at a good Saudi fee.

This has suddenly got a bit odd.

Eddie now saying he doesn't know where these have come from - yet the personal problems are well know and it all makes sense from that point of view.

[Zippity]

I think Eddie was being...let's call it 'disingenuous' at best.

He'd clearly rather keep him and, much as I can see the benefits of him leaving too, on balance, I think I'd rather he stayed...but not as first choice.

[Jammy89]

This is what is worrying me though - Rag has touched on it before - Eddie doesn't seem to want to let anyone go and eventually that will cost him.

Loyalty is good, to be encouraged but to much. . . .

[Sclox]

The best managers know when to cut players loose when theres reduced benefit to the team as a whole. Blind loyalty is not a good quality.

To be fair he just about said J Lewis could leave today in the briefing.
