Trippier v Aurier

[IanMcL]

Watching Aurier in action for Spurs, I don't understand why he was retained and Trippier transferred. Ordinary player.

[Vino blanco]

He is worse than ordinary, Ian, he is poor by PL standards. Trippier is a much better rb.

[Colburn_Claret]

Couldn't agree more.
He must have showed something once upon a time, but I'm buggered if I know what.
Not fit to lace Tripps boots.

[beddie]

I think Aurier is much stronger physically and possibly quicker that Tripps but Tripps is the better footballer Imo.

[tiger76]

I'll be if Aurier's still at Spurs next season,he's a liability and Jose will surely overhaul the whole defence.

[TVC15]

Only positive thing I can say about Aurier is that he is better than Mendy for City.
Tripps a better player than both and City and Spurs both let him go....albeit City did it a fair time before we made him into a great player !

England have 4 excellent right backs but a bit thin on left backs where Charlie Taylor should be getting a look in to rival Chilwell who has just had a dodgy couple of months at Leicester.

It's a shame Tripps seems to be happy at Atlético Madrid, because if he wasn't, I'm sure that Sean could persuade him to come back to Burnley.

He's on record as saying he'd love to play for Dyche again but unless he runs down his contract at Atlético, it won't happen because the transfer fee would be beyond us. Mind you, he's only on a three year deal, so it's possible I suppose.

He's Atlético's first English player for 95 years, so I guess they liked him.

Even if the transfer fee wasn't beyond us his wages definetely would be.

That depends how much he wants to play for Sean again. Not ALL footballers are mercenaries. Look how long Gerrard stayed at Liverpool, when he could have earned mega bucks elsewhere.

[Spike]

I wouldnt pay any money for Aurier

"Do you want to play for Sean Dyche again?" "yes."
"Would you pay £2m per year for the privilege? "...

[LordBob]

I thought we were gonna take a vote, pointless isn't it Aurier looks uncomfortable even going walkabouts.

There you go, putting words in other people's mouths.

[Darnhill Claret]

If he said he’d like to play for SD again, that suggests he didn’t specify the club.

Very true, but I don't think Sean is going anywhere in a hurry.

[dibraidio]

According to Liverpool Fans Atletico are the Spanish Burnley. No surprise that Tripps fits in well.

You're a bit late with that comment.

Hardly. Trippier himself said he would like to play for Dyche; and I left his second answer open.
