Kyle Walker

[Metalartin]

If we keep paying over the odds sooner or later it will hamstring us, the people saying it doesn't matter don't know this they are just blindly assuming the powers that be(at City) have everything in check. The question is if we do walk away will these people complain and say we should have "just paid it" or accept that we have to start spending intelligently and the powers that be at City decided this wasn't good value?

It does when we're the buyer.
Sad but true.
For that price, we should walk. Show others we're not willing to pay over the odds.
This is Kyle Walker, not Lionel Messi. We can get similar for better money.

Who would you suggest?

People said that last season we spent 170m this season be around 200m so really its rubbish we are loaded

We didn't overpay for Stones.

Chelsea had offered £46m the season before.

I respectfully disagree. Chelsea must be as mad as is then. :-)

You're right, a fool and his money are easily parted.

I'm not sure what your point is there, "we are loaded we can spend what we want" is not realistic though for me, I can just see the words administration error flashing up in a daily mail exclusive. :(

Joking aside though the point was would there be toys thrown out of the pram if City did start saying that's too much for this player? Or would they accept that someone has done the maths and that's that?

So what is your plan B if Ederson performs the same as Bravo last season?

Then I'm guessing we'd play Gunn.

Whereas now if Ederson is injured we might as well play all the forwards and go with rush keeper.

 

[mosssideblue]

And yet people like you and Dax come up with no alternatives. I'm fucking glad you lot aren't in charge of our transfers as you'd walk away at the first negotiation and we'd be playing next season with fucking Kolarov and Dinho as our full backs.

We agree :)

If Walker is the best RB in England, i think that says more about the rest of the dross, rather than Walkers' ability.

I think selling Bravo is for the best too, but who do we promote as back up? We let Gunn out on loan.

IMO Bravo will be going nowhere this season. Ederson is an unknown quantity for us atm as was Bravo last season.
