If we don't have two RBs capable of rotating then we are weaker than last season - and that is criminal neglect. I would love KWP to break through - but you are asking a lot considering we could concievably be play at the Bernabeu on a Wedsneday and the Etihad on a Sunday next season.I don't really see the point in buying a new RB. Tripper is more than capable, but most importantly it's important that we keep let the young players get game time to show em there is a clear path to the first team at Tottenham if you buckle down and work hard. In this particular scenario that young player would be KWP.
The reason this is so important is that we will always lose financially to our nearest competitors, but what we can do is show the top talent around that they should come to us if they want a path to the first team. This is how we end up with the Allis of the world on the cheap.
We're linked with players like Sancho this summer and hopefully sign Sessegnon next summer. I'm sure these players wouldn't look twice at us if it wasn't for our history bringing through players and instead go for the big money.
Poch has shown that he doesn't want his fullbacks getting over worked.
