Thing is, I think Tripps is more valuable to us if he stays and plays a part this season, we’d get close to nothing from selling him.

He’s still a top player - on and off the pitch!!! But I think he offers us a lot down that right especially when we have Burn on the left.

I’m not saying Tino can’t do the same, but it would be nice to have 2 players who can

Ok, Tripps form dipped last season, but he was playing in a make shift defence with an inexperienced team - Hall, Tino, Miley, etc and without JL there was no protection from our midfield.

I’d love him to stay… and as for EHs loyalty - he’s shown time and again he can tweak tactics and positions to get the best out of his players
