Is he any better than Trippier? Whilst you would still have to deal with Levy, the figure bing touted for Trippier would surely be significantly less.
He's at least twice as good as Trippier & I'm not even a big fan of Walker.

Just hit me the horrendous state the Prem is in when the debate between the best RB in the league is Walker or Clyne.I imagine they are probably asking for something in between £45-55m, which is to be expected after the season both he and Spurs had.
Whilst he is arguably the best right back in the league (even though I rate Clyne more highly), you would have to suspect there are many alternatives abroad.
If he were 3 or 4 years younger, I would say £40m in today's market wouldn't be a bad deal for Walker.
I'd like to sign Walker, but he's not worth a penny over £40m. If they're demanding any more than that then we should immediately walk away. Let them deal with an unhappy player all next season. There are other options and we can sign two very capable right-backs for less money.

It's been £40mil for weeks. Not a chance will they randomly up the amount to £60mil after all those discussions

Semedo is the much better option than Aurier.
With how long it's taking the FA to sort out Ederson, imagine trying to deal with whether or not Aurier is even allowed in England with his legal troubles that has seen him stay in Paris during a CL away game.

Real headache if Aurier was our next choice. The interesting part is who would be the realistic back up plan.

Pretty sure the best RB in the league (bearing in mind top form and potential) is neither of them but is about to join Barca.Just hit me the horrendous state the Prem is in when the debate between the best RB in the league is Walker or Clyne.
Best RB in the league. If we don't pay what Spurs are asking, then no doubt Chelsea will, and that would be really shit for two reasons - one because he'd improve whoever signs him, and two because it would make us look smalltime compared to them, which im my opinion is even worse.
Show ambition, pay the asking price, improve the team, win the league.
No fucking about hoping second rate foreign signings might be ok and ending up battling for top 3 or 4 while the chavs hoover up titles. Fucking sick of that shit.
Pretty safe to say that there is zero chance that Spurs would sell Walker or any of their best players to Chelsea. Sissoko, on the other hand......

It's all guesswork - the £40m figure included. But the basic idea (of raising the price after weeks of talks) is actually classic Levy.
What a twat Levy is
Merely doing what he believes is best for his club. It's business, not personal.

Isn't the problem Levy is going to run into now, is that he has to start paying these players like their supposed value suggests? Can't tout these players at £40-60M + and still have them on low wages.

Yes, it's not my money, and if it improves the team, who cares? Why should we compare, KDB was nearly two years ago, values are going up all the time.

If we give Spurs £60m for Walker, we'll never be quoted less than £80m for a quality player in future. If that's what we want then go ahead, but it seems wiser to walk away. Levy knows we're soft. Each summer we get quoted a price for a player, have 2 months of negotiations and then just pay the original quoted price.

Said it before and I will say it again, if that is the price we should walk away and leave them with an unhappy player. And just because we can we should put in a bid for Alli to unsettle him

Levy knows we're soft because we have just got rid of our existing players for that position and need to find replacements asap. all clubs know that we are desperate to fill those spots - which to a large extent undermines our leverage. the only leverage we get is by engaging with a number of alternatives.
