Kyle Walker

[Bernard20]

I'll be polite...

Teams do it all the time. Look at the Dutch at AC Milan in the 90s, plus the Germans at Inter.

Let's not kid ourselves, a top but 33 year old right back isn't the most important signing to them. Equally, if he was crap obviously they wouldn't be interested.

They'll get one or two good years out of him and then his pace will be gone. I'm sure they could do without him and select someone else, but the signing would help Kane. If you don't think it would then I really give up, you haven't got a clue.

Kane is the big signing for them, probably a Bundesliga record signing I'd guess (but can't be bothered checking). Possibly their biggest signing ever in a lot of ways. Kyle is relative small fry and relatively short term in comparison. When you're making a massive signing you do what you can to help make it work.

I’ll be polite… horseshit!

It’s one thing, a few players of the same nationality, ending up at one team… it’s entirely different to suggest that one is signed, simply to placate another!

Kyle Walker may well be signed by Munich, but it will not be to help Kane settle. Munich paying £120k/wk plus the transfer fee and all to help Kane settle. Never heard such horseshit tbh mate, but crack on with your theories.

Teams do it for all sorts of reasons, I fully expect Kovacic to chaperone Gvardiol if he arrives, it makes complete sense, it’s good planning by the club, Kova seems like a good guy, has bags of experience playing in other countries, is multi lingual, and most importantly a top player

So you’re jumping in with Mattycity5 or not (it’s unclear from your post)…. I’ve no doubt that Kovacic would help Gvardiol settle, if he arrives here. But are you suggesting that we signed Kova, simply to increase our chances of getting Gvardiol? Because that’s a whole ‘nother conspiracy, that Marty is suggesting happens at top level football!

Sorry mate you're a bellend. Is that simple enough for you to understand?

And if you can't see that an old right back might be 2nd fiddle to signing England's record scorer, then you're a deluded bellend as well.

I've not said it's the only reason they'd sign Kyle. But it will be a bonus. When they've come up with their list of options it may well be what's tipped it towards him.

Great stuff, well argued.

I am a bellend, you’re right…

I am sure that when they suggested Kane… Tuchel said we can get him for £80m but he’ll only come here if we get him an English friend and I vote we go for Walker. We can get 2 years out of him and he’ll be able to share a locker with Harry, so he’s comfortable. They can have bratwurst and jellied eels together.

Mate, you’re the fucking bellend

Tried speaking rationally, but you didn't seem to understand it so I reverted down to your level. Or is that "horseshit" too?

Show me where I said the only reason they'd want Walker is to keep Kane happy?

Teams planning and signing players of the same nationality as each other because it might help them, what a "conspiracy theory" eh?

Christ.

You've basically changed what I've said to suit yourself. Maybe try reading more carefully, or considering nuance.

You are a proper bell!

I know what you said, you said that in some ways Munich signing Walker would be seen as someone who could help Kane settle. It’s fucking horseshit and you’re still a bell!

Walker has been, and still is, an immense defender. Fast, aggressive and never lets us down. I think he's been a great signing for us.

However, he isn't getting any younger and there's 3 things about him that makes me wonder if he will leave:

1) He's only got a couple of years of blistering pace left. Has he got the nouse to stop attacks when his pace declines? I'm not entirely sure.

2) His off the field antics. Not much else to add to this, but you know that Pep won't be impressed.

3) He's not a 'footballer' in the sense that Stones, Akanji etc and maybe Lewis are. He is to some extent, the odd one out at City in that it's his physical play that earns him a spot. Don't get me wrong I think he's a great player, but once that pace goes I'm not sure he is intelligent enough to keep his spot.

If Bayern come in with a decent offer and he's interested in leaving the Treble Winning Champions I think we should let him go and thank him. We can't keep everyone forever.

I'd rather players left at the top, like Gundogan and Walker in definitely at the top at the minute. When you're at the top, there's only one way down.

It’s all irrelevant, come the start of next season, Kane will still be at Spurs, Walker still with us and you’ll still be a bell… so carry on with your conspiracies mate.
