Pep isn't asking for Neymar and or Messi, as far as we know. He's been shown to be prudent in the extreme in these matters, ie, pulling City out of the race for Pogshit because the price was way too high.
The whole "it might have an effect on other transfers" malarkey is overblown. Kylian Mbappe at north of £100m will have an effect on other transfers. An extra 10-20m on Walker than on an equivalent RB is a drop in the ocean for a club with a potential budget of £200m and a number of players who will be sold on.
Again, if Pep wants Walker then the club will get him Walker. Seems they already have.
The club can't win. We get stop gap full backs like Sagna and people moan, we keep Clichy past his sell by date and people moan now we throw serious money at the likes of Walker and Sandro to fix the biggest weakness in the team and still people complain. The club can afford to refresh the squad and I for one are pleased we are focusing in the right areas.
