Agreed.... Just the small issue of finding said multitalented player that is top 4 quality, happy with less than 75k a week and is willing to play for a team not in the CL.
EDIT: Oh and i forgot - Whose club are willing to take 25% less than their valuation for them.
Easy Peasey Daniel Levy.

WHATS WRONG WITH BIG FONTS ?It's been amended, I was about to do it but case must have stepped in. Now Kieren Trippier instead of kieren trippier, you happy now amigo?
No Premier League player misplaced more passes last season than Kieran Trippier (625). Graziano Pellè next on 423.
Based on his crossing statistics, I'd think several of his misplaced passes are crosses defended by the opposition team. Nothing wrong with losing the ball if you in the opposition half and are trying to create a goalscoring chance.I wouldn't read too much into that. If you watch how Burnley played last season it was more or less the defense passing to Trippier and Trippier playing a long ball up front to Ings who would knock it down. No surprise that he has a high number of missplaced passes considering that.
As pointed out above, his average pass distance is 25 metres, 27 yards. Mostly long balls that didn't find their target.

Unless you are Barcelona of the tiki taka era, nobody would get good passing accuracy when attacking and creating goalscoring opportunities. I am sick and tired of watching Walker running all the way up field, delaying the cross till he is blocked and finally passing it to a central midfielder.
I can't prove this but I would say Walker maybe has put in 10 decent crosses in the last 3 years. If Trippier's crossing is decent, he adds another incredible dimension to the team and with Rose that is another piece in the puzzle that Poch is trying to solve, with the full backs attacking wide making the inverted wingers run into the box and having several attacking options.
Exactly this. It's a great example of a transfer where the value isn't just in the player brought in, but the service he'll provide to those around him (and that's without touching upon the 'Davies effect' he may very well have on Walker).Makes sense. Trippier has an insane number of chances created/assists and a high number of misplaced passes. So obviously lots of long balls/crosses which was Burnleys style.
With us I would imagine it would be few long balls but lots of crosses from Trippier. With Kane up front that's gold dust as he is very good in the air and we kind of need a good crosser in the team who is not Eric Dier.
This signing seems very good in terms of pressuring Walker and offering us a new dimension. Although another attacking full back like Rose would mean we should hopefully get a good DM to cover and keep the balance of the team ok.

Well in Quiverpool's case if you play well against them, Rodgers will look to 'snap' you up ie Bogdan, Benteke interest even though he doesn't fit their style!Exactly this. It's a great example of a transfer where the value isn't just in the player brought in, but the service he'll provide to those around him (and that's without touching upon the 'Davies effect' he may very well have on Walker).
Finally. Finally we may be thinking carefully about a signing in terms of how he'll fit within our system rather than 'well he played well for someone else'.
I pray Liverpool and United continue to do the latter.
Interesting because you could argue he isn't good for us either, as here we have a defender who made more mistakes than walker last season and had made less tackles. Now if we had a stable back 4 then brilliant!Exactly this.
