Paul Merson and Clinton Morrison discuss Newcastle’s early January signing, Kieran Trippier, and whether or not he will help Newcastle to attract more big signings, which they will need if they are to avoid relegation this season. Could the decision to join Newcastle be a gamble for the 31 year-old defender?

Trippier wants 2 b the big man, the guy is another overrated ENGLISH player, the guy will now b playing championship fitba where his abilities r more suited, he's saving no 1, Madrid took him 4 a squad player, he'll not get another cap, unless out of sports direct
With all the talk of player welfare I feel trying to run through a brick wall over and over is detrimental to them…
31 years old coming to the end of his career playing back in England and will play most games that will keep him in England squad and he's probably on 200 grand a week I think he's doing alright
Paul Merson doesn’t have a clue! Started of the season he said United will be challenging for the title because of Ronaldo. Anyone who knows football knows one player can’t change that United team fs. Paul’s a clown tbh
I miss Roy Kent
Trippier is a good player but he isn't getting in the England squad so long as Reece James, Kyle Walker and Trent are fit.
Merson showing how out of touch he really is
Merson knows all about gambling
Bet he woke up and dreamed he was at the Cambridge boat race , not beaten by Cambridge. It turned out it wasn't a dream , it was a nightmare
Merson knows all about gambling does he I'd probably take his word for it
If they go down he’ll have a clause in his contract to escape come for the money give very little shits. Win win for him. Not gone for the lovely north east sights has he. Grim up there
Let’s be honest Paul Merson is not an intellectual heavyweight, he is entitled to his opinion but I do not value it on the grounds that he’s as thick as a Gurkhas foreskin
Isn’t it about this time merson starts saying how Kane needs to leave spurs
They are 100 percent going to get relegated they could not win a raffle there useless
Every clip I watch of soccer Saturday now I stop listening and start thinking about how sky tv have destroyed the show completely.
Next time I hear Clinton Morrison say “at this precise moment” again I swear I’m going to throw the tv out the window.
Seeing Trippier in the Newcastle kit loves like what you get when you order Paul Gascoigne from Wish
His attacking was better than his defending but he can deliver a ball into the box. Those first time volleys into the box are something else.
And he definitely would of picked up a more defensive mindset under Simeoine, at the very least improved himself defensively under him.
How Paul Merson is a pundit is beyond me at times.
It's no gamble. He went for a great paycheck
Not really a gamble for him. He won't get many games for England. Already won the League in spain. He's 31 and nothing left to do except get paid. Even if they get relegated they're the richest team in football so his wages are nothing for them
Paul Merson is a clueless pundit but a great guy
I think he is a good signing but please some reality around the guy if you don't mind. He is not and never was a world class player, he is a good player on his day that is a given but Toon need a few more players to make a fist of staying up this season, then maybe 2 or 3 more seasons stabilizing them selves before they become a less risky option for some big name players who have not passed 30 years of age. Until they get 5 or 6 players aged 24 to 27 of a higher standard than presently at the club. Having big money will attract some mecenary players in it for just the money, along with the older player looking for a big last pay day, but to attract good players who want to prove themselves is a way off just yet.
What's the gamble really? He'll be a millionaire either way! He's well fed.
Newcastle will stay up. Burnley will go down, Watford are looking bad
I think he's misunderstood what a gamble is, guaranteed big bucks regardless of the outcome is the opposite of a gamble.
Exactly
At least the lad has shown a bit of bottle
Merse would know all about a big gamble 🎰 🙄
This Newcastle might become a top 4 club of epl within next 5 years 🙄🙄
Every signing, EVER, is a big gamle according to Merson.
Did Paul just fart???
Mers will get proved wrong, again, as always
This aged well
Try beach volleyball 🏐 you suck at football predicting
Wrong again. Has he ever been right ? Trippier is adored for his determination. Fans look on him as the Talisman for Newcastle's turnaround
Gamble? Naaaaaa lad 😁
this aged well – mercer the Muppet
And now Newcastle is top Half n Will be top 5 in 2022/2023
I love watching this , after how the seasons played out ,
How is that coke head still stealing a wage
Well….this didn't age well did it Merson. You absolute clown! How does he get paid to give an opinion?
⚽️⚫️⚪️
🤡🤡🤡
I admire merson's fight to get his life back on track, but certain pundits definitely seem to have an issue with Newcastle . . . claimed the owners had'nt a clue two months before this, and history has proved he has been miles off the mark on so many aspects. Ii it was Arsenal, his comments would be different, be honest.
Ah, as I hear us destroying Villa 4-0 on the radio and should really be 8-0 with us moving up to 3rd in the League…..gamble paid off.
This has aged well… And now Merson may have had a change of heart…. And yes when we approach any player, their prices get hike by £10m, and the best part, we don't pay more than what we assume a player is worth.. No wasting of money on unnecessary signings
Well this ages well
Botman 10000% worthy of his price
