Trippier is one of the top five RBs in the world. He was every present during Atletico's run to the title in Spain last season and is clearly Gareth Southgate's favorite player. Didn't he even play him at left-back in the Euros? He's 31, only had a year and a half left on his deal and Newcastle paid somewhere between 12-25 million pounds depending on the source. He'll be allowed to leave on a free transfer if they go down. They've also had a thirty million pound bid turned down by Lille for a guy named Sven Botman. These guys aren't playing around. Does that sound like a club that aren't flexing their financial muscle?
