'A proper Geordie' - your views on Trippier's time at Newcastle
Howard: Tripps will be a huge miss. Thank you, Tripps. The squad needs a rebuild and Kieran is at a point in his career where his best years are behind him, nevertheless, what a great signing he has been and what he has done for the club can not be overstated.
[BBC] We asked for your views on Kieran Trippier announcing his departure from Newcastle United in the summer after more than four years at the club. Here are some of your comments: Andrew: Trippier has become a proper Geordie. He was, in my opinion, the best signing of the Staveley era, as it showed the intent of the club.
I'm not sure Bruno and the others who followed would have come without him. Howard: Tripps will be a huge miss. I hope that after his final years away somewhere that the Newcastle hierarchy realise how big he was here and offer him another role, in the academy or wherever.
Jim: Fantastic player for Newcastle. One of the leaders in the team and pushed the team when they slowed down. He will be remembered as one of the main players as Newcastle go through the transformation into one of the best teams in the league.
Graham: Trippier was a star appointment, which has only begun to dim during these past twelve months. Still a cut above most in the Premier League as a right-back, ever. Thank you, Tripps.
