Beth Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 We've never really had a "top class" RB before Trippier in all the time I've been following NUFC since the mid 80s. The likes of Venison, Watson and Barton all gave stirling service but were too limited in ability to be rated in the same bracket. I've never rated any of the ones post Bobby Rodson era, especially Debuchy and Janmaat but at least we got decent sell on fees for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. TC Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Debuchy is clearly the best right back we've had in the past 20 years, and Trippier is far superior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Beye was much better than Debuchy imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLC Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Shame we never saw the best of Malcolm Brown. Arrived with such high expectations. Trippier is the best I've seen at RB. And I loved Ando Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Said it before in this thread, but he knows what to do in any situation, where to position himself to block, where to be to provide the best option for a team mate, he's got it all at this stage of his career. It's like muscle memory for him now. Lovely player to watch, he makes the position look so easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even think Janmaat was better than Debuchy but my memory might have been tainted. And Debuchy only had a year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf Kompany was bought by Man Citys previous owner. Botman is more likely to be our Kompany comparing position, age, potential. If we -need- to compare, I'd say Trippier is more like our Gareth Barry, no matter how horrible that sounds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His agent signed up to here to defend him as he was getting a fair bit of backlash as he signed for Villa at a time when they were throwing money around under O’Neill. It was pretty tense after Orient. I can’t remember specific interactions but I know the agents words went down like a lead balloon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not properly appreciated until he left, because he played a variety of positions and was seen as a journeyman. But in retrospect, he was class.

CPL Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Was Trippier this good at spurs? I honestly didn't think he was that good until I saw in the black and white. He is the perfect leader for our revolution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two guys that followed DC were good quality too - Irving Nattrass and John Brownlie. Tripps is something else again, though, and has been absolutely crucial in our transformation. My lass's dad has Craig in his all time XI but he adores Trippier. I'll have to ask him if Trippier makes the cut yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy when we got him but didn't realise he was this good tbh. Provides so much quality going forward and is a real leader Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I avoided club football for about 10 years but watched England in tournaments. A year prior to going to Madrid, I saw him in the 2018 world cup campaign and he was England's player of the tournament for me. I thought he was magnificent. It was the only real time I saw him play prior to coming to us, but based off that I was very excited to have him sign, and he's only exceeded my hopes since then. I've seen him speak a bit about his time at Spurs and it sounds like the club was on the turn in his last year there, through losing Dembele to injury and such. It does sound like it was a formative time for Trippier though, in terms of him absorbing what was going on and adding to his understanding of the game. So it probably meant he was well-primed to then make the most of his experience at Atletico, which we're now benefiting from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
