Kyle Walker

[Tricky_Trev]

I missed him proving himself in the premier league last season

Means nothing really. What part of Silva, Yaya, Aguero, De Bruyne, Yaya, Sané, Kompany, Zabaleta, Gabriel Jesus was proven in the Premier League? All that matters is ability.

 

[come-on-barney]

Excellent signing IMO.

Best fullback in the country, fast as fuck, strong as fuck, overlaps to fuck.

What I really like though is he's a fucking 100%er, hates not winning, and has more than a touch of the **** about him. He's one of those opposition players you cannot help but fucking detest, because he has all those 'winning' attributes you want in your own players.

We've needed a proper little **** in the team for a long time now.

Now for Mr Mendy.

Yep the spurs guy earlier stated this guy is a true professional and fights to win. He will do for me.

I completely agree. Yes, the premier league is more physical than la liga, but if you're truly a quality player, given time, you'll succeed wherever you go.

If the City chiefs used the "premier league proven test", we wouldn't have signed Silva or Aguero — two of our best ever players

What does @crouchino think of Walker, he will have seen him a lot, i admit to not seeing to much of him.

Its also not ridiculous to think that we'd sign both. Rafinha got a fair number of games from Lahm under Pep at Bayern.

Walker vs City's full-backs: He has more assists, crosses & corners, dribbles & chances created, and surpasses them for duels won & tackles.

ooh I love spider diagrams!
wonder which average full back they measured.

Good news though, at least that looks like its nearly over the line.

 

[come-on-barney]

Assume you think Lukaku was a better deal than G.Jesus because he was premier league proven?

It's part of the whole package home grown and proven in the premiership and a bloody good player.

 

[herrock]

The best home grown right back available, we couldn't afford to miss out on him as well as Alves, should be a great addition.

 

[come-on-barney]

You do sometimes feel why do we bloody bother - if anyone isn't excited about this season with more signings to come I give up.

 

[cucumberman]

i rate him as the best RB in the league so £50m is reasonable for homegrown, young and physical presence and pace and crosses.

What a bloody awful way of displaying data.

It's been a moan fest about not signing anyone then moaning about the price when we do,4 wks and 2 days to wait and i'm excited already

Exactly, I struggle to understand it at all lol

A lot of money for someone who does not want to play for us and it would have been daft to turn down such a sum.
All our top players don't want to play for us long term when the better offer comes and we cave in as money is more important than winning .
silverware .
Strategy of defeat. They win things we win fuck all .Rinse and repeat same old .

found this on spurs forum, I must of been washing my hair when they won something in the last decade

 

[cucumberman]

So it's £45m + 5m addons. Not a bad deal that's how much we paid for Sterling at £44m + 5m. At least we are consistent in our valuation.

 

[onceabluealways]

Rags fans and Neville seem to think we were robbed - they seem to have short memories - how many games has Luke Shaw played.

Very good signing, improves us a lot.

 

[dadnlad]

over paid but british tax thanks gill n co the fee is going up that quick it could reach 100 million by the time the morning papers printed

Maybe but one of those in a City shirt will be suspended a lot.

I read that as the poster having a pop at Levy - money more important to Levy than winning things.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Meh, we overpay for Walker, but get Silva and Jesus on the cheap. You win some, you lose some.

Isn't that kind of his point? They cave in to the player's demands because the money is more important than the silverware? "They win things we win fuck all" makes it clear I thought.
