Hes leaving spurs
Because Walker wants to move back up north to be closer to his family. He's had a row with Pochettino too.
In Germany I have not heard anything about Kyle Walker...
If it comes off u can replace Kolarov with mendy add Sanchez and VVD - homegrown , Sterling stones walker bertrandNot suggesting for one moment that the pursuit of Walker is over, but the purchase of Alves is likely to have a knock on effect in terms of the rest of our transfer dealings.
The current squad includes:
Bravo
Ederson
Alves
Kolarov
Kompany
Otamendi
Silva D
Silva B
Ya Ya
KDB
Gundogan
Fernandinho
Sane
Aguero
Jesus
In terms of the Chimps League that's 15 of the 17 squad spots already filled, so unless I'm missing something those expecting us to sign Sanchez and Mbappe and Mendy and VVD are in for a disappointment.

It's gonna need some creative accounting to figure the squad out. For my money, ANY incoming CB will replace one of Kolarov or Otamendi. So we're down to two spots and three players. Potentially a surprise departure on the cards?
Moments like this the unadulterated stupidity of having two foreign keepers comes crashing in again.

Agreed if we could Bravo offloaded
As it is Otamendi possible out and new CB in that's a big if though
Mendy and Sanchez in can't see Mbappe unless Serg goes

Bravo won't make the CL squad, imho. It'll be a homegrown.
Bang on with that statement Billy. I can't believe there isn't a single experienced British keeper out there to act as cover for Ederson. Having Bravo in the squad only makes sense if he's going to have significant game time, and unless he suddenly adjusts to the physical nature of goalkeeping in the EPL (big, barging forwards and weak referees) in a way that - based on last season - I cannot foresee, then he's likely to spend much of his time on the bench taking up a valuable homegrown/British place.
Any idea how far apart the two clubs are on the Walker valuation by the way?
I'm not Otamendi's biggest fan, but it would actually be typical of the last 7 years, if he has to go, because we can't shift Kolarov.
If Bravo was to go to Lille it'll probably be a loan with us paying half his wages. I'd take that if it meant it free's up a spot for another foreign player but its hard to see that after they've let Gunn go out on loan. Maybe the Hart sale isn't going to well and he's coming back as back up?Bielsa wants Bravo at Lille. If that happens maybe we'll see something sensible done in terms of a back up.
No idea on Walker. I suspect though that it isn't going to be the nightmare scenario that others make out in terms of dealing with Levy. We've gone into this knowing Spurs are happy to part with him.
Kolarov only has a year left on his deal, surely we can find a buyer for him.

Mbappe is like Neymar/Messi in the sense that if they can get him, they'll get him, and worry about the impact on the CL squad afterwards.
