It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[SuperSilva21]

As it stands we have no intention of extending Walkers contract which expires next summer!

 

[Gumzy97]

Thought we’d managed to bin off that Jose Alvarez gimp when Aguero left. Hanging about like a bad smell with nothing but negative news whenever he speaks

Hard to bin him off when he's getting leaks from players he's close to.

 

[Weavers run]

Sheff Utd look good for promotion and they might want to buy Walker

I love these lazy links.

 

[richards30]

Walker is a strange one if its true.

 

[RayCTID]

Walker turns 33 at the end of the season maybe he is at the start of his decline.

 

[Matt Diablo]

Cant seen Kyle go either at all. Him and Stonesy are thick as thieves

 

[oldius]

Walker is a strange one if its true.

He is so reliant on his physicality though, so it may be just one player that we let go before it seems we normally would.

 

[super_city_si]

Lol, it would be pretty typical of Peps city. Walker and cancelo go leaving us with 1 right back and 0 left backs.

(I refuse to list Gomez as a left back)

Yeah i rather see the last appearances of him where he is still able to play at top level rather than shell off his former self.

Sadly not, he was the leak when Laporte was moaning in summer 2021 as well. They appear to be mates.

Walker started only 20 PL games in 20/21 and 20 PL games in 21/22. In other words, he didn't start in 36 PL games in the last 2 seasons, and he missed many games this season. He's been declining since 19/20.

 

[Gumzy97]

Would be a big rebuild needed in the summer if we let all those go.

 

[richards30]

If Walker and Cancelo go then we need another RB & LB? Gusto at Lyon should be a target now before he goes to the chavs imo or if Bernardo wants PSG then Hakimi from them?

Kyle Walker is the best RB in the world and he’s not leaving any time soon.

was?

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Time to flap

I thought I read somewhere that Gundogan was going to be offered a new deal?

I wouldn’t be overly surprised if Bernardo, Cancelo and Laporte left in the summer. It would soften the blow if we could get close to £200m for the three of them.

Unless he’s requested to leave, I can’t fathom why Walker would be off anytime soon.

People don’t just wake up one day too slow to play like Walker does. A month ago he went stride for stride with the fastest and most dangerous forward on the planet in a World Cup in his first full game back from a 3 month injury.

His legs will go eventually, but he will be fast enough to deal with anyone for at least a season, and I’m pretty sure he’ll retire before he loses enough pace for it to matter.

Injuries are a bigger problem and pep deciding to change what he wants from the position.

 

[domalino]

was?

Was, is, and will be for another year or two.

 

[domalino]

Picking up injuries is not the same thing as declining.

John Stones has missed as many games, he’s not declining either.

Pace doesn’t just disappear but the amout of times in a game you can do those sprints does decline and is declining.
