It's decent that we're in for someone like Aurier (player wise, nor person wise!) but it makes me wonder if Trippier's injury is worse than first thought, bearing in mind KWP's development. After KWP's performances at the World Cup and Newcastle, he looks a very capable squad player at least. There's probably not too much difference in the gap between Walker and Trippier than there is between Trippier and KWP. Obviously Trippier has experience and is more reliable etc but I really like what I see from KWP.

Maybe if KWP plays against Chelsea and gets ruined, I'll calm down a bit and realise he's just a kid but so were half our players in the last couple of years. Either way, it'll be sad to see him go out on loan after a start like this but on the flip side it'll probably do him good in the long run - but he just seems ready to be in the squad. Maybe he'll stay and be cover for LB too while Rose is out.

Saying all that, Aurier is class (on the pitch, albeit a bit of a twat off it) so if that does come to fruition I won't be displeased at all.

Sorry mate I admire your optimism, but Tripps had a season or two of prem football under his belt before we signed him and now has plenty of first team experience. KWP had played no first team football at any level before last weekend. I think what you have written above is actually quite insulting to Trippier who is a 26 y/o experienced pro.

Poch stated that it was too soon to expect consistency from KWP so it stands to reason that we reinforcing cover for Trips.
Yeah but didn't the weekend prove that his comments shouldn't be taken at face value?
Amazing people still don't realise he uses the media as a tool.

Poch wants a pacey forward badly. All may depend on Janssen, who Poch wants to keep, plus add. Told 2 specific named targets, and talks happening. Indications are very positive. To clear up the Janssen situation. He wants games, and don't mind backing up HK. Not sure if he will be the same if another one (No.9) comes in.

Would believe if Daniel has to sell him it will be for more than he bought him, and buyers prepared to pay. Note on KWP. Do not worry about RB signing. We may see him come on as sub in midfield, as well as LB. very highly rated.
