I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed you can do better
Our decision to sell will look much better once Kyle Walker peters.......
No?
I was very impressed with him Saturday. I certainly did not agree selling Walker to a rival but this kid looks promising. Surely good enough to back up Trippier (and possibly Dier occasionally)
I agree that he looks promising, but still feel we need a RB to come in who is more the finished article (and ideally would be able to play LB as well, considering how much time Rose has spent injured).
As much as I like the look of KWP, one injury to Tripper would leave us incredibly vulnerable.
I wouldn't be opposed to signing another RB but I also don't think we would be too bad off if we didn't. Dier has proven he is a decent option there if needed. We also have Jan who can play left back. I get its not ideal to pull those guys out of their normal positions but at least we have some cover.
Very true. Added bonus of more cover is also that we can preserve the back three formation.
It's so good, even Wenger couldn't resist.
An old interview but gives an idea of what he's about...
Kyle Walker-Peters: Your team-mates are your rivals

He should be replacing Trippier by the end of this season.
Looked good on his debut
Well done Kyle. Very impressive debut
Did he get the Sky MotM? I was on an NBC stream.
I'd give it to Eriksen, but yon Kyle was certainly a close second, barely put a foot wrong.
Maybe tired a shade toward the end...

Yes he was sky motm
Brilliant......the academy is quite scary
Love this kid, Tripp's with serious competition this season.
:avbpray:
Good debut by the youngster. Had a few opportunities to burst forward more aggressively but the hesitance is understandable; he'll grow in confidence.
Solid performance.
Got beaten by Atsu a few times and his crosses were mostly wasted but for a 20 year old's debut in a title fighting team, it was a solid performance and he'll only get better. I don't think he was man of the match, but I imagine him being a youngster, keeping a cleansheet and being on the winning team meant the commentators had that soft spot and it's a nice moment for him.

motm is a little generous as I thought Christian was our best but this is a very promising start to premier league football for the young lad. May have just saved ourselves a signing.
