Agree, he is too lightweight. Doesn't seem to take much to brush him aside and that won't cut it in this league. He isn't that young either now. Even though he is 22, he looks like a boy up against men at times. I'd give him this summer to really work on his strength and then have him as backup to a new RB next season and see how he gets on. Trippier and Aurier can both go for me.

Trippier isn't exactly chiselled from granite. I don't really know why KWP hasn't had more chances. Most of his outings won him MOM ratings if memory serves me right.

He's still sufficiently young to have not filled out yet -- whether he ever does is what will determine if he makes it with us or not IMO. I think you're right that he'll be kept around, especially with Foyth able to slot in at RB, to see how he develops physically. For me it will be Trippier and Aurier out, new first-choice quality RB in, with KWP given a chance to prove himself and Foyth there to cover if he can't.

I don’t think that’s true. We all know it’s not the norm, just the majority of us think it was foolhardy and senseless off the back of a strong season. We could have pushed on and been closer to the two clubs at the top of the table, but instead we were left short in the squad due to the inactivity.

He played more games than Kane this season.

Bale could also say that he wants to play and is willing to take a big pay cut

This is true. We have a lot of Barnett’s players with us.

But he's had a horrific time with injuries in the last 4/5 years. That takes its toll on a player as a well, especially as they're getting older.

Don't know what your problem is SS77. He is very much like Maicon...on those CL nights that he faced Bale. I assume this impending transfer means Tripps won't start tonight lest Napoli get a high profile chance to reassess their initial scouting.

looking like Utd on a perm re the info posted a few days ago. Dumb as fuck from utd as they will be splashing out big, but that is how that club is run now. Its all about pleasing investors.
I’m trying to be optimistic here.
Maybe he has told KWP that he’s part of Poch’s future plans but wants to give Trips more game time so that we could get a better price in the summer with the excuse that he’s one of our ‘regulars ‘ and not one of our ‘castoffs ‘. ?
For me it’s a double whammy. Not only did it affect this season but it will mean we need more this summer so it could end up being an overhaul rather than 2-3 additions.
