"but has probably just about justified the 50m"
Justified???? are you serious?
He has been an incredible signing, a huge if not MASSIVE part of our success under Pep.
But to be balanced, you’d also have to consider whether keeping a player that considers his City chapter to be over, would also be making us worse. It’s unlikely, after a treble and three-peat, and a summer where Walker’s seemingly made it clear he wants a new challenge, that he’d have anywhere near the hunger to produce at the level he has been. He’s also been guilty this season of making the ‘bad faces’ that Pep hates. That’s going to be an even bigger issue if he stays without the desire to go again, as he’ll find himself playing much less.
It’s just normal after such extreme success that some of those that have been here the longest mentally check out of the club. The Champions League was the final piece for quite a few of them. Winning it as part of a treble just closes the chapter even more emphatically.
I am not a fan boy of any player, they come and they go.See,this is why you are blinkered and obviously upset at the fact he could be leaving
Now take your emotions away just for a minute and say to yourself 50m for a full back,now say it again in your head 50m
Incredible is a strong word, but could be described for umpteen players who have worn the blue shirt over the last ten years or so,and who’ve cost a lot less
He’s been responsible for quite a few fuck ups as well,pace has got him out of trouble on more than one occasion as well
If you don’t believe me,look back in player performance thread over last few years
So like I say take your early morning emotions away……..just for a minute
I am not a fan boy of any player, they come and they go.
"major Fuck ups" like 5 titles, champions league, 4 league cups, 2 FA Cups, what a fucking loser Walker is.
But if we had paid 100m for Walker he would have been great value.
When we signed him I though Levy had taken our pants down, how gloriously wrong I was.
Great player, great character and a winner.
Good luck to him if he goes, he does not owe us anything.
Kyle and £20mill for Sane I could get behind.
Nowhere near. Be surprised if it was any fee in all honesty.
Club probably offering a 1-year contract and he’s after a longer term on decent money, so cashing in whilst he has market value
He's easily a 30m player in today's market, even with a year left, at his age. And clubs like Bayern should not have an issue paying that.
You are possibly right, in that the club won't put that over letting him go where he wants to though. I would still say it will be over 15m.
Doesn't send a good message to other players (like bernardo), letting someone else go for pennies, when the club consistently say bring the right offer and you can go.
We got decent and fair value for Sterling, Jesus, Zinchenko, Torres, without standing in their way, so I'd think we will for Walker too.

He’s going to one of the top clubs in Europe.There is no challenge or excitement with Munich, he better pick another club
If he is *easily* worth 30m, Bayern will pay 30m. Imo, they won't pay more than 10-15m.
The thing with Walker is that fitness wise he's less reliable than he used to be. The last time Walker started over 20 league games was, IIRC, back in 19/20. Things can get only worse from here.
A bit of both to be fair.I'm not sure he'll be cashing in that much at Bayern. If he does fancy a change, I think it would be more the new challenge than the money driving it.
I know Pep is a genius but I hink even he would struggle truning Davies from a left back into a right back......Alphonso Davies please
Not stupid but they do seem very desperate these days.Not sure Bayern are quite that stupid mate
Over his time at city i think he has been the best RB in the the world. Never worry about him defensively against anyone. Has easily stopped Mbappe, Viniscus, Rashford etc. Personally don’t think he will leave and reckon he will do the last season of his contract.
