I?d like to see Tripps here next season too. He?s proven to be solid when his head?s in the game and not having to play week in week out.

If he?s happy playing second fiddle to Tino, then we?re not going to get anyone with his experience, quality and leadership at a reasonable price, and who?s happy to sit out the majority of matches.

Surely he has another season left in him, let?s us spend money in more urgent positions first.
