So would you not want Khaldoon to do the same if we were selling say, Aguero? To get the highest fee possible? It's not his fault we're mugs.

If we can get Mendy for a decent fee - hopefully under £40m - then we should be able to negotiate a decent fee for Walker.
Mendy is a French league title winner, Champions League semi-finalist, in a team that I think beat Spurs home and away last season, and a French international. If he goes for around £40m or so, Levy has no chance getting £60m for Walker I believe.
The key will be whether or not Walker is willing to push the move through.

I know it's his job. I'm just saying when the world record for a RB is just over £30m and he is allegedly asking for twice that then he is a twatPretty safe to say that there is zero chance that Spurs would sell Walker or any of their best players to Chelsea. Sissoko, on the other hand......
It's all guesswork - the £40m figure included. But the basic idea (of raising the price after weeks of talks) is actually classic Levy.
Merely doing what he believes is best for his club. It's business, not personal.
Well the world record for an attacking player is about £80m so I wouldn't expect us to ask double that for Kun. I understand how negotiations work, I'm saying thats a laughable price quoted and surely we wouldn't consider itSo would you not want Khaldoon to do the same if we were selling say, Aguero?

So is this Spurs demanding £60m thing likely to be true?
That would be far more of a rip off than the same money on Van Dijk.

Levy is well known to drive a hard bargain, but most of the time the press are way out with their figures in advance, look at Bernardo.So is this Spurs demanding £60m thing likely to be true?

I expect we will pay a full price but not an absurd one.

40-45m i reckon? but he's english & a huge improvement on what we had so i really think it will prove to be money well spent long term

Don't know why we're worried, I'm sure Txiki isn't. Lots of good players out there and we shouldn't get fixated on any of them. If this genius negotiator, Levy, wants to keep a player who doesn't want to be there, sign someone else. Bertrand would satisfy the home grown aspect, then go for a foreign right back. There must be a couple who are good enough/available.

£50m including add ons was the most i thought the deal would go for, £60m plus leave him there and let spuds deal with the shit storm of unhappiness he would bring. Get Demerol in for less and Bertrand can make up a homegrown spot.

City, please don't pay more than £45 m for Walker, Van Dyke or Mendy as we will become a laughing stock. We should have extended the contracts of Sagna, Clichy & Zabaleta by at least 12 months in order to get true value for those players, none of whom is worth less than £7.5 m in my view. West Ham must be laughing. Poor financial management again.

The club will pay what they feel is fair if there happy to pay 100m so be it. The money Walker is on at spurs they can refuse what ever we offer.
It's a pivotal signing and could dictate the market, we should go nowhere near this if those are the figures as it will have a direct impact on our other business....

I trust city to pay what they feel is a fair value if Levy wont budge Im sure we will move on.

It's quite likely IMO that Walker is the last one done anyway so more likely they influence the Walker price than vice versa. I do agree with you though these latest fees are just ridiculous.

We've been bummed the last few years, mate, trusting us to pay the going rate is like saying @richards30 doesnt shake like Michael J fox whilst living la Vida loca is on mute...
What is to our advantage though is the depth in quality across Europe in these positions, it allows a measured approach as opposed to dry bumming!!!

It's also the worse kept secret in football that we agreed with walker before a price was even negotiated, Levy has us by the balls. As a club we pride ourselves on ethics, I just can't see us leaving the lad out to dry and we will inevitably overpay..

By that logic we'd pay what, £100m for him if that's what Levy asks because we don't want to leave the lad out to dry? Of course not.
He knows that any agreement with us is on the condition we can work out a deal with Spurs, and if Levy says £60m and we walk away, it's not us that Walker will be angry with.

That's just stupidity, not logic.... you know fine well that we've been rinsed for a number of years on deals like this, clubs deliberately playing hardball which upsets the settling in period for the player... we need to hit the ground running this year and not have players filtering in on the back end of August....

The money originally quoted is vastly overpaying imo. Any increase is fucking ridiculous.
