Pereira for £22m is a much better deal than £55m for Walker.
Which is why Levy is probably going to do both deals ;)
Anyway, Spurs fan here. It always makes me laugh, seeing everyone now saying Walker is the best RB in the league, yet when Spurs fans were saying that, people were saying no he was average, all of a sudden now you are signing him, watch it be said he is one of the best in Europe....hahaha.
He is a very good RB and in my opinion the best in the league the last two seasons. It will be interesting to see how he does at City, as it's really only under Poch where he has become top class and well, Poch makes most players look top class. We picked Tripper in front of him in big games last season and gained better final ball delivery, but less pace and whilst we still looked excellent defensively as a team with Tripper in the team, Walker is the better defender one on one currently due to his strength and pace against attacking wingers.
Regarding the fee, of course it is going to be north of 50 million. He's one of the best in his position in the league, on a long contract, Spurs don't need to sell, he's at the peak years of a player, is English and City are desperate. Why on earth would he be cheaper than someone like John Stones?
Spurs will be getting a lot of money for a player Poch doesn't want in his squad any more, and you really need him, it's a great deal around.
