He was here as a young kid apparently.When was he at spurs?

I think it’s in the youth thread. Someone knows his family or such forth.I tried googling around and I can't find a single thing on it (admittedly I'm being bias as he looks good and I'm hoping Sandro is full of shit so what I want to happen will happen)

Don't think we treated him well as a kid and I guess he see's those two clubs as an easier job for first team.
I watched our FBs in detail yesterday and it is definitely true that Poch asks the FBs to play very high up the pitch. To make this work they need 2 things 1) as you say great recovery pace and 2) great end product so they force the opposition backwards. I don’t think either if our RBs have got these characteristics and while Rose has the former I’m not sure about whether he has enough of the latter. In an ideal world to make Poch’s system work we need much better quality FBs. Arguably this position is even more important than the CM position we all crave so much. Be secure defensively and a threat going forward from FB and our CMs get more time. Sissoko spends most of his time covering Trippier.Whether it's their positioning or the instructions that Poch gives them to play high up - the point is still true, without recovery pace it's a disaster waiting to happen.
Trippier obviously does have end product - he's been statistically one of the most productive FBs in the league the last couple of years. And he plays some lovely balls down the inside right channel when not crossing. He’s just in wretched form at the moment, and we’re getting all his weaknesses without that cutting edge.I watched our FBs in detail yesterday and it is definitely true that Poch asks the FBs to play very high up the pitch.

Che Adams hit a hat trick today for Brum. One to keep an eye on.
I remember when Chilwell was such a meme. He's a fucking good LB now.

I think you have the tense wrong, Trippier had end product. Unfortunately it is pretty one dimensional and I think his poor form is as much due to opponents figuring him out as his WC hangover. Even at his best offensively he has been a poor defender, this year he has become a wretched defender.Trippier obviously does have end product - he's been statistically one of the most productive FBs in the league the last couple of years.

Wan-Bissaka and Ferland Mendy would do wonders for our fullback positions.
Wan+Bissaka comes from a family of Gooners and Lyon are going to have people just throwing hundreds of millions at them for Ndombele, Aouar, and Fekir so they won't need/care to sell Mendy if they don't feel like it (nor do I think these players will see us as a step up from Lyon). So yeah we may all need to collectively move on.This would be an absolute dream window if we managed to get these two. Unfortunately I cant see us even being able to bring in one of them.
I think that’s harsh. There’s probably a lot of things going on with him this season, a bit of physical and mental burnout from the WC and no preseason, opponents targeting him more, and a lack of confidence at the moment.I think you have the tense wrong, Trippier had end product.
