Wait, what? What did I miss, a scrap with Toby? Tell me more.Things happened behind the scenes...is he talking about the fight with Toby?
Even Kyle Walker was more gracious. He thanked Spurs and claimed he wouldn’t be the player he is today without us. Wonder what Trippier is referring to behind the scenes.I am disappointed in trippier, he should have said “thank Tottenham, I fancied a new challenge, i have always wanted to play in Spain”. Job done everyone happy.

As a 28 year old defender, I would have hoped he would have learnt the defensive side by now."When you are learning a defensive side there is no better coach to work under, and it is an area I want to improve on."
It's an area we all wanted him to improve on...
Think I remember some of the context, although I'm not privy to details. Spurs played Liverpool last September, Liverpool won 1-2, Alderweireld and Trippier were at fault for one goal each, and subsequently both players remained at home (ie. didn't even travel with the squad) for the following away match in CL. Make of that what you want.Wait, what? What did I miss, a scrap with Toby? Tell me more.
Bit strange him saying this - though his comments may have been taken out of context and turned into a story.
He sounded like he wanted to stay at Spurs but had been told he would be sold for the right price.
Disagreements at work are normal - but it’s annoying he’s said what he’s said; the “I can’t tell you but something bad has happened...” type of pointless statements.
He’s done well getting to Atletico, but these sound like sour grapes. I’m certain he would rather have stayed despite these comments, had he had the choice.
But he didn’t perform well last season and now he’s gone. Still hope he does well.
Maybe but its so annoying for him to bring up something like the "behind the scenes" comment.Think he's just guilty of being too honest.
