Agree with this.Why would Trippier want to come here at his age when he's at a good club when he wouldn't appear to the the favourite for the position? Why would we be interested in such a player on significant money? He either plays or it's a massive waste of resources.
We kind of made this mistake with Telles, going for a safe pair of hands and then they never end up playing and you end up wondering why we went for that profile of signing.
Trippier is 30. He's got a few good years left to be a starter which he currently is at Atletico. Why would he give that up to be a backup at Man Utd? It's not like he's playing at Fulham. He's the main RB at a regular CL club and gets in England squads.
Telles moved here because Shaw's position was shaky and we were gonna be raising his wages. I doubt we'd want to pay Trippier more than he's on now.
