some ITK from a Spurs board

"City may still be interested in Walker but no interest has been shown since Pep watched Walker play for England. Walker hasn't asked to leave but has asked Levy for more money. Surprisingly Levy has agreed but Poch has said NO WAY! He's starting to see Walker as a bad apple and doesn't want him paid anymore than he's currently earning."

take at face value, of course.

I don't believe Walker is on. Just a hunch. I think since Alves appeared for free, that's cooled our interest. I can see Fernandinho covering RB as back up till the right young replacement turns up, and us signing Bertrand and Mendy for the other side.

That leaves Bertrand, Sterling, and Stones. Don't we require 5 hg? It feels like I'm missing one here?

Remember Stones cut his teeth at right back at Barnsley and Everton get Elves and Mendy in leaves 7 players for 4 spots 8 if you count Fern

You can have 4 association trained and 4 club trained (if they're club-trained they're obviously association trained as well but that's moot). But you have 17 spots for foreign players out of 25. If a player is under 21, they don't need to be registered at all in the league or they can be on the B list if they've been at City for 2 years. City had that one off of 5 association trained as a part of our FFP punishment agreement but anything beyond 4 association trained players that aren't club trained is pointless from a squad management perspective.

Ludicrous. Levy agreeing to a pay rise without discussing with Pochettino first.

Delph might not leave for example.

Do you see Pep using one of the 3 academy players that he likes if we don't get a HG fullback? Stones, Sterling, Delph, and Foden for example, would probably weaken his options with Delph and the academy player would not participate in CL, just some thoughts if we can't get Walker and have to go for a foreign RB

We should have kept Trippier. Spurs seem to think he can do a job if Walker comes to us.

Walker is a much better player than Trippier. Spurs fans may be trying to make themselves feel better about losing Walker.

Watching Kyle Walker MKII at the world cup, I can see why Spurs aren't worried about moving Kyle Walker MKI on. Their centre midfielder too (can't remember his name now)

The thing about Kyle Walker MKI is, yeah he's got pace and athleticism but every time I've seen him play his end product has been terrible. He has that move where he flicks the ball behind his left foot to cut inside from the right and then lays a square ball over to one his team mates. Still, if it's what Pep wants then fair enough though I guess. He knows far more than some random poster on a footy forum lol.

He looks great but a long way to go. Whenever I've rated youth players they've pretty much looked good coming through the ranks. Mason, Caulker, Townsend, Livermore, Carroll etc. He pretty much looks better than them all bar Caulker I have no idea how he messed up.

You're right about Walker. He bombs it forwards then squares it or passes it back, he has a decent delivery but I never really see it. He would rather retain the ball than put in a hopeful, maybe that is the instructions from the boss?

Not true. We are well aware Walker is a better player but they aren't too fussed as Trippier is a decent backup.

I said it before if we had to lose a player from our first eleven then Walker or Diers name would enter my mind.

If we lost an Eriksen, Toby, Jan, Kane, Lloris or an Alli type player that would hurt us a whole lot more
