Walker has been a great servant and will be a big loss to the squad but I'm ok with this. His whole game relies on having blistering pace and at 33, probably won't have it for much longer. He's also only got one year left on his deal so this is our last chance to get something for him.
From his perspective, he's won the lot at City and after six physically and mentally draining years under an incredibly demanding manager he may feel it's time for a new challenge. Also, running his contract down would be a risky move because if he slows down next season then he won't get an offer like Bayern Munich again.
We need to overhaul the squad with players who are hungry for success if we want to stay at the top and it makes sense to start with those who would have needed replacing soon anyway.
