I mean, Sandro is a consensus top three fullback in football and Walker is often cited as the best RB in the PL, comes from a direct rival and has English tariff. Throw on top that neither are available from selling clubs and that City have to pay a premium for being City and yeah, it's expensive.
We can fuck around and buy cheaper quite easily, but maybe, just maybe, these are the players Pep Guardiola has identified for his squad. If so, the club have an obligation to go the extra mile to get them.
In doing so, ok, they'll ruffle a few feathers of Blues who reckon we are the new rags or think they can find similar or better players for less. But honestly, this fannying around has gone on too long. We've got the money, we've got the manager, now let's get him his squad and start winning.
Why Walker is a no brainer too is because the money spent on him will not be re-invested into the squad. It'll go towards the stadium debt.
So regardless of fee, we are weakening a rival.
