Same age as Pickford isn't he, he's just not got the experience, I did say take a risk but I think he would actually do okay when called upon.

See what I mean folks... When we make 45 million seem okay, why wouldn't Totham think they could stab us with a 50?

For what its worth, this is the effect of overpaying for Stones. Totham is probably thinking, "well Walker is better than Stones who you paid 47 for... So pony up!"

And if we acquiesce, the next time there is a better than Walker English player we are interested in, watch Charlton or Fulham go "Well, we want 60 million, coz this guy is better and younger than Walker."

And folks here would be busy saying "in this market."

We are not the only team affecting market prices. All players are going for a lot more. Mbappe valued at 130M, Sandro at 70M etc.

It's all bollocks, Joe Hart is an England regular and a Prem starter but even with 'English' tax and bear in mind he's probably got as many years still left in him as Walker we can't nail £40m or so. In fact nowhere near.

My opinion is chuck £30m (it's all Monopoly money to you and me anyway) down with a few add-ons...CL etc. If the baldy one doesn't like it, leave him high and dry with an unhappy player.

Exactly! Here is a man who is paying attention to the real market. If it was me, this is how I'd play it.
 
Levy wont be in rush and probably know we want him for preseason so he will keep saying he wants 50m. We should hold firm till last couple weeks of the transfer market and let Levy sweat a bit no doubt they are willing to sell and they wont want an unhappy player in there squad.

I heard he wanted to but has it actually been signed? I would have thought they would hold back on finalising it in case we need him.

Does anyone know the actually amount of HG players we need with the current squad, may as well add Alves, Sanchez and Bonucci in there... how many do we need?

For the EPL I think 17 is the maximum number of foreign players you can have in a panel of 25. You can also have kids from the academy.

We are about to break the fullback signing record 2ice in one window, and somehow folks think I'm the crazy one for not thinking that's great business? Ok!

That's the price of not buying new full backs years ago. We got to the point where we just released 3 of our senior full backs cos they weren't good enough in a single window. Clubs know we're desperate for full backs and can name their price. Our failure to see this coming has brought this on. But that is the reality we have to deal with and have to pay what they want if we want new full backs.

Mbappe is an exceptional talent at an attacking position. Excessive prices for those are normal. It isn't for good positional players. Sandro is not valued at 70 million. Juve simply doesn't want to sell, period. So to get him, it will have to be a hostile grab.... 70 million is so ridiculous that they know no one will pay it. Thsts the point of an excessive price - you don't want to lose said player.

That's not the case here. Spurs actually want to sell, they just want to rip us off doing it. He has already been replaced by a good fullback who cost 10 million or so.

Agree mate. Don't understand supporters who think it's ok for the club to have its arse reamed out with some of the fees being banded about. My personal favourite is "it's not your money so who cares".

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.

I doubt they really want to sell him to a rival though, any more than Arsenal do with Sanchez.

Ultimately any player is only worth what a team is willing to pay. We probably wouldn't be willing to pay much for Lukaku because we have no real need of him. We do, however, need Walker.
 
Dax777 said:
So we need how many more?

Stones
Sterling
Bertrand
Delph
Walker?

It has nothing to do with homegrown we can probably only have 4. It's the 17 non homegrown limit. If we have 17 non homegrown we are only allowed 4 homegrown.
If we buy our targets including Walker and Bertrand and sell the most likely players., we will have 17 non homegrown. If we replace Walker with a non homegrown we will have 18 which is one too many.
Edit Delph will also need to go to stay within the limit

Perhaps. Like I said we'll pay it if we must, but it won't be a good price. And it will affect our future prices. Like Mangala affected what we paid for Stones and Stones is affecting this. This too will make the next good attacking English player we are interested in a 120 million dollar price. And I'll point it out then too..
 
He's not very good.

Nevermind the domino affect it may have on future transfers, it would just be a large some for someone not very good.

not sure why you went for dollars other than to make the price look higher, but they'd probably be that price anyway, regardless of whether or not it was us interested. How much do you think Spurs would want for Kane or Alli? Probably would be far off that.
 
Walker is the best right back in England and has been for at least 18 months.

I'm stunned people can't see it.

Spurs regularly fell apart when he and Rose were not on the team sheet.

He has the perfect physicality to create an extra flank for us on the overlap, and will only learn from someone like Alves.

At least Walker will be able to race back to defend, unlike Micah , who every time he passed the halfway line used to pretend he was injured but was actually just knackered when he lost the ball.
