Kyle Walker

[Tugay One Cup]

Show me where I have ever complained about a fee we have paid. Ever.

Well if I've misinterpreted your original comment then I apologise and I'm an idiot.

Don't like the bloke. He doesn't like City either

He once said something about City on twitter and later apologised for it, big fucking deal

Well he's signing for City. The rest is up-to you.

So does this look like a done deal ?

Don't know why we're comparing them in the first place given one is a fullback and the other is a striker but seeing as we are, we can't use the lowest figure for walker and the highest figure with add on's for Lukaku to make it sound better. The fee going around is £55 million + add on's and seeing as we don't know how much the add on's are worth we can only compare it to the £75 million base figure for Lukaku.

as for what we're getting, I have no issues with most of them but 3 of those points are very questionable. Firstly, I wouldn't class him as young seeing as he's 27 and fullbacks tend to drop off quite early, particularly ones that rely so heavily on pace as walker does.

Secondly, when has he ever played DM? there's nothing in his game that suggests he could play there either, lacks the technical skill, positional sense, brains and composure to play there and under utilises his main asset which is his pace. I'll put money on him never ever playing in that position for us.

And the final point, does he really weaken them that much? If he did they simply wouldn't sell him. They obviously prefer Trippier (as do i personally) and feel he's the better bet going forward, so losing a replacement right back isn't weakening the squad all that much, particularly when you're getting £55 million + for him in a time when money might be tight for them with the new stadium to pay for.

Literally no one is saying 55m + add ons that's complete bullshit.

They also don't prefer Trippier, that is also bullshit. Trippier by the way has played 1,000 minutes of league football in the last 2 seasons compared to Walker's 5,600, and most of that came after Walker told them he was leaving and they had a little spat. "Prefers Trippier" hilarious.

Trippier is as close to a Walker replacement as Ibe was a Sterling replacement, hence why Spurs have lined up 30m for Perreira so they never need to worry about how badly things would go relying on Trippier as first choice.

Kyle Walker had better get used to being England's 3rd/4th choice right back in the coming months

 

[remember arthur mann]

Crazy signing, another Alan Kernaghan moment !

Certainly from these last few pages you could assume, but not as yet (I believe)
