ARSENAL are tracking Burnley’s England U-21 right-back Kieran Trippier, a former Manchester City trainee.
Not surprised, I said before Burnley bid for him that we should have stumped up the money, as we'd have almost certainly made a profit. Class player.
Re: Developed at Barnsley But developed under Robins, so it does not count does it? I'd not hold my breath if I were you...
Re: Developed at Barnsley Might be getting confused - didn't he come at back end of Davey's reign but get injured ? Or was it Robins' first season ?
Re: Developed at Barnsley Robins. Definitely. Think he played away at Boro February time and got injured.
No he didn't. I seem to remember everyone thinking he was a very good player, he was excellent at getting forward though so some may have suggested he play in front of sir bob, which he did on a fair few occasions and did well.
I always thought that he was a bit small. We were always vulnerable to the far post ball, and he has not lost this vulnerability. This is why Hill played Davies wide left when we played Burnley at Oakwell last year.
Slaughtered - loads of times 'we should play him as a winger cos he cant defend' 'He is not as good as Booby' etc
I remember people on here moaning when we signed him too, after his unmemorable loan spell. Just shows that some of the people on here know everything
Wouldn't go that far Nowhere near, but there were definitely plenty who thought he should be played right midfield because he wasn't that good defensively.
