Kyle Walker

[R-u-s-x]

Totally disagree an unhappy player a new stadium to pay for and new players to buy it would be silly to try and drag it out as city could just move on and leave spurs in the lurch.

Am a Spurs fan - think he will leave by the end of the window and wish him good luck, very good player and a great servant. However would be over the moon if he stays -WC year so he will want to perform. We get a player we rate at £50M+ on wages of around £70K pw - in the open market a player £30M alternative (no idea who this will be) to replace would want £100K plus. We have always spent what we have brought in regarding player sales so unlikely to make much difference to the stadium debt.

Think Levy & Pochettino would be over the moon if we keep him.

Is there? Who?

Could Oxlaide-Chamberlain be the homegrown equivalent of Fabinho?

 

[Martin*]

can we not go for fabinho now then? or does he not want to play RB?

Seemingly doesn't want to play at RB, preferring a more central role.

City are still likely to sign Walker, but it may take until near the end of the window to complete a deal. [London Evening Standard]

Annoying for us, but imagine how frustrating it is for the footballer involved in the tussle. This is his future the boardrooms are haggling over. You might argue that he should stick it for the wage, etc., but that's bollocks. End of the day, we're all people who want to live their life. Couldn't imagine having to stick your future on hold for so long without knowing what's going to happen.

I agree. It must be difficult. They've probably grown up with that life. The downside of a pretty fantastic career.

On a totally different point yesterday I read that Batigol had considered leg amputation for severe pain he had as a result of playing through injuries. Instead he had an operation but now walks with a pronounced limp

Txiki waiting until end of August then decides to pay Spurs hilarious asking price anyway (50m or more).

As things stand Fernandinho might become a regular at right back...
I doubt we will give a chance to Maffeo being second choice.

he did just sign a contract last year though, he gets the up side of this and would have gone in with eyes wide open.

I'd take Cedric all day for starters and I'm sure there's many more round Europe
