We've got KWP coming through, though, so I think Trippier's time might be up soon enough.
I know a lot of you watch the youth closely and know your stuff, and I'd love to see KWP excel and be a great player for us ASAP but, come on, time and time again this gotta stop - how many minute has KWP played and you are talking about 'reserving' a future place for him in the expense of at a very least a good backup for us currently?
Besides, to extend Tripps for say 3 more years doesn't mean we need to keep him for 3 more years, we can easily sell him (and make a profit giving the bargain he was when we got him) if we need to make room when KWP/someone else is good enough to replace him. It just makes the most sense to extend him soon, as long as Poch's happy with him and he's ok with the role he's in.
At least wait til KWP (or whoever the 'next big thing' is) actually show something in some senior game time to hype him up, and be fair to Tripps (or the current vets they are supposedly replacing) .
