To be fair to Walker, Pep has been clear that he's been playing through injury, and so is only being used when we already have a weakened team.

A post we don't need :(

I agree
he decided to move on already

we should look at what he has given the club all these years not just a snapshot

Both Gundo and him shouldnt be starting matches in the first place
they are supposed to be impact subs
but because of injury they have to play

Will he get a sendoff? I hope so, he deserves it.

 

[St.Pauli support]

A statue maybe?

He does deserve it, he was a brilliant RB (up to the end of the Treble Winning season)
He was a big game RB with great pace and shut down the top left wingers in the game.

We owe him for what he gave to the team, and what we won, during at his peak years.

Cheers Kyle, good luck!

I agree that Walker was clearly a better player than Zabba but just feel Zab was a better influence on the team on and off the field. I also respect Kyle for taking the decison to leave instead of just milking the club as other players would have done.

Why because he did shag hookers and have babies with them? This is the very reason Kyle is leaving the British press and public care too much about people’s private lives.

If you do not think most these guys are at it with other women then you are lying to yourself. Kyle was just dumb enough to choose an attention seeking, crazy one who will not leave him alone.

Zaba was a great captain but so was Kyle I don’t care where he sticks his penis. Besides this season he has been one of the best RB’s in the world for years!

The greatest RB in Prem history!!!

Is ge going to Milan? Saw a Twosip video with him and AC Milwns logo in the thumbnail

Zabba was a stronger leader on the pitch

Whatever . All I know, and I'm not arguing about this anymore, for me Walker is is our best right back of all time. When he came in to the team he helped transform the squad and win every trophy there is to be won. He has been exceptional for this club. That is my final word on the who is the better fullba

I agree with this. His loss of form this season is probably his lifestyle and personal life catching up and playing with his head. Best all round that he and hopefully his family(s) can have a reset far away from here. I, for one, will always be grateful for his outstanding contribution to the team. Remember that he was instrumental with his tremendous speed of curing our habit of conceding breakaway goals. Note that that habit has returned with a vengeance now that he has declined. A world class player albeit flawed human being but then ain't we all?

Shock, horror a footballer who fucks about on his wife. All I was bothered about is if he did his best for City on the pitch and he did.

He's been a brilliant player for us overall. He should probably have gone after the treble season but by the sounds of it was talked into staying longer. He was still OK last season but has been woeful this season. It's time for him to go and to be fair to him it looks like he recognises this also. I respect that he has asked to leave rather than staying here and picking up his money. I wish him all the best.

Thats not what Pep said in the press conference post match yesterday. He said Bayern did not offer enough.

Everyone assumed because there were photos of him and Pep coming out of a restaurant in Manchester that Pep persuaded him to stay. Its sounds like it wasn’t quite the case.

Seems to be the case. Lots of Milan links and talk.

But he also signed a new contract. Not like he was sitting on one with years left.

He was unhappy about not playing the CL final and Akanji getting most games as RB in the main run that season. Walker played against Madrid and the FA cup final but his only big games.

Once we knew Gundo was gone we wanted him to stay.

A pivotal player for the last 8 years and the best RB in the world for the last 5.

Respect for him recognising that now is the right time, and appreciation for his immense contribution.

Best wishes lad.

"When he's focused..." the key insight into the Pep/Kyle relationship here I think.
