He had a poor season, which was down to this injury recurring throughout the season, maybe Poch & Levy thought it would be better to pass the problem on to someone else. As for him being better than Walker? Well he was playing in Walker's preferred RB position during the World Cup, which also says a lot, before he got injured. Here's the link where Poch is explaining the problem. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/tottenham-southampton-kieran-trippier-injury-latest-pochettino-update-groin-problem-a8669611.html From your link Quote Ultimately Pochettino said it was not a huge problem, and that he had his own experience of it that gave him confidence Trippier could overcome it. “When I was in Argentina as a 19-year-old I suffered and it is an area that is difficult to sort out. But I don't believe it's a big thing. It's only he needs to start to accept that situation and live with sometimes some pain and play.” I'm ok with the injury excuse but a groin injury doesn't reduce a player's value that much (20m is peanuts nowadays) As for Walker. Well, even Trippier thinks Walker is the best RB, https://en.as.com/en/2018/08/25/football/1535200077_258940.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levy is no fool when it comes to player valuation that's why I think he and Poch know something that we don't. It'll be interesting to see how he does at AM under Simeone's hard work ethics.

BUT the telling point att was that poch dropped walker in favour of trips .. tbh att most on here well me and carms.!!. were fed up with walker continually doing these amazing lung busting runs then over and over and not delivering ANYTHING. walker had pace and power in abundance but thats it, little else to balance his game. favourite quote by gary neville regarding walkers positional play and overall defending was ' well, if the penny hasnt dropped by now, it never will' think he said that when walker was on england duty.

Bredbury Blue Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Your club have valued (ex-City youth) Trippier at just £20m and obviously doesn't rate him anymore. That value represents his current ability and value. It says it all about him, no matter how much you try to deflect by making comparisons with Walker, who incidentally just last month signed a two-year extension until 2024 and is clearly valued and wanted by City. ???? Kyle Walker Manchester City Premier League: 2017–18, 2018–19[68] FA Cup: 2018–19[69] EFL Cup: 2017–18,[40] 2018–19[70] FA Community Shield: 2018[71] Individual PFA Team of the Year: 2011–12 Premier League,[28] 2016–17 Premier League,[34]2017–18 Premier League[73] Go ahead and post Trippier's honours achievements in the same period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker is definitely not a world class player. He was outstanding for us in his first season (our fullbacks piled forwards) and hit and miss in his 2nd (fullbacks supported wingers and not so high up the pitch).
