Kyle Walker

[Gabriel]

Read a bit on Marca about how Barcelona had spent 155m euros on their last 10 fullbacks, dating back to 2006.

By comparison, we've spent considerably less, so I suppose major investment was inevitable.

When I watch Barcelona and Real pour forward, I genuinely fear their fullbacks. They tend to be fast, creative, and capable of causing problems whether they stay out wide or dribble into the box. When I watch Rose and Walker, I appreciate they're athletic and physically strong, but I just don't think they will be as great a creative threat.

That will allow them to increase the wage bill by at least 50%

By a maximum of 5m a season, that'll take a while (PL FFP).

Best attacking full back in the prem is Walker.

£30m? where do we sign?

Walker has told his agent he wants to come back up North, Trippier been told to sit tight at Spurs to see if Walker stays or goes, if Walker stays then Trippier going to Everton.

The limit you're referring to is actually now a maximum £7m increase per season. But it only covers income earned from the Premier League's TV deals. It doesn't cover match day or commercial revenues; or UEFA competitions; or income from player trading.

No he does it thru his agent on a "without prejudice" basis.
