Player Watch: Kieran Trippier

[Nine while nine]

Twice now, Spurs have signed a right-sided player from Burnley just after they were relegated

The first one went on to win 2 trophies with us and was inducted into our Hall of Fame.

So let's hope Kieran does as well for us as Ralph Coates did....

The second jj said the rumours were true I got on it at 3s.

My caution cost me. Schneiderlin at 5.5 atm. Let's see if JJ brings any news on that soon!

England's new RB has just arrived....

 

[DaSpurs]

Not sure what I was thinking. Now that he holds up the holy lillywhite his head looks rather normal, and dare I even say, beautiful.

Still no mention on OS lol they're sooo slow.

No player completed more successful crosses in Europe's top 5 leagues last season than Kieran Trippier (91)

Best case scenario: he becomes our new Stephen Carr.

Good luck, Trippier! Seems to have a good head on his shoulders and I really hope it works out for him.

I dunno, it's a bit weirdly shaped innit?

Where's @Stoof with him stamp?

 

[jobdone]

He looks like what happens you mess up the sliders in RPG character creation.

Good signing though, excited to see him in pre-season. Hopefully it'll give Walker the kick up the bum Davies seemed to give Rose.

I thought this was interesting.

I know @THFCSPURS19 reckons Thomas' info

Signing of Trippier is an astute one and again shows a shift in type of player #thfc are going for. Poch/Mitch being backed to the hilt.

Ings/ Trippier from Burnley were top targets. Unfortunate that Ings just did not want to join Spurs despite meeting them #THFC

 

[longtimespur]

Good luck to the lad ....he'll need it at home matches judging by some on here!!

 

[EZSpur]

Got a good feeling that Mitchell has worked his magic here.
Trippier is young, he's hungry, he's shown what he's capable of and hopefully will develop into an awesome RB.
Glad to have him at Spurs!

 

[yido_number1]

Good luck to the lad, hope he continues to develop and can challenge for the position.

 

[Spurger King]

Looking forward to seeing how Trippier does. I was always a fan of Walker due to his pace, but it looks like his injuries are causing some serious problems.

Admittedly I haven't watched a lot of Burnley, but he looks like he's got a good cross on him which would work very well if Pochettino continues with inverted 'wingers' next season.

That was fast for the OS! Maybe that Mitchell bloke has had a word or two with the ones running the site or even recruited a new staff

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

So I've sourced the snippets that were edited out of Trippier's interview.

"Yeah, I took one look at existing RBs at Spurs, and figured that displacing Walker and top 5 game time would be more fun than chipping in crosses in the championship. I'm happy, I'll even be making far more than the likes of Bentaleb now. And seeing that his CM partner Mason made it to England's squad, there is no reason – none at all – for why I can't do that."
