If his wife wanted Paris...not sure City matching PSG offer would have made any difference to his decision
It's a minor inconvenience not a major blow to our transfer plans imo
No guarantee he would have reproduced last seasons form for Juve in the PL or CL for us

14 million vs 5 million would only make the Paris decision easier, similar money? Different scenario

For a player who has been a success everywhere? It's guaranteed.

And considering how poor fullback play was for City and how important it is for what Pep likes to do, it's more than a minor inconvenience. Also means that Spurs & Levy have a fantastic bargaining position for Walker

I've asked already mate but perhaps you can explain to me why it makes any difference to the Walker negotiations?

The way I see it we would have to bring in another right back regardless of Alves joining so what's changed?

I'd wait until there are some better sources that report he is indeed on circa 230k/week but IF it's true then there is absolutely no way we were paying this to him and make him our best paid player or at least on the level of Aguero's wages. He's not Messi ffs.
 
Won't be getting a click from me because of that headline.

This is the same **** that says he doesn't want to alienate himself from City fans and then comes up with that hyperbolic bollocks of a headline? Fuck off Sam.

You do realise that he doesn't write the headlines?

He seems very fair in his reporting mate.... like most on here, I've listened to him many times in podcast and he just passes on what he's heard. The info isnt always right but he just says it straight. Maybe we are in a panic today after the news. Maybe we didnt plan for this to happen and having a little "flap". If nothing else, we misread the situation and PSG got our target. Now I'm more interested in what we do next, than moaning about what if....It seems our interest in Fabinho stopped when Alves was open to moving from Juve...maybe the 2 were linked? Thats what I'm hoping anyway!;)

Given that he was on a free and clearly a back up it means we are now be looking at another right back. So Levy might have lost some of his power in that he won't know whether we are now looking for a first choice right back other than Walker or for a back up with Walker still the number one choice

Homegrown is a massive plus in his favour though. That's probably worth an additional £10/20m

I agree, liked reading his stuff tbh. If he's responsible for that headline though he can do one.
