Kyle Walker

[Centurions]

I understand that city want to be good and understanding to their players but sometimes we have to stop being so charitable, if you want a player so bad then pitch up the money for them, stop going on with your press mouth pieces about how they are your top target etc and just stump up the cash and you can have them.

We have to stop paying the prices the other clubs want for their players and then letting them have our players for peanuts

Just as well that we don't do that then isn't it...

fair point , myabe its my perception in that we overpay and everyone just expects us to give our players away

Whatever the outcome with Walker,
I hope City don't take any Bayern players in return to finance Kane's transfer (I know they have cash in the bank but they can't go all out IMO).
Bayern are missing a striker and would be a serious CL competitor if Kane was there. Hope Kane stays at spurs, no harm for anybody there.

Kimmich……

Kimmich……

Not realistic, but yeah even Kimmich.
Bayern wouldn't sell their missing link in the mid to fill their missing link up front.

Btw I already posted I see Kimmich as a negative factor and the opposite of personalities and attitudes City are scouting and signing - which makes the difference to other top clubs.

I love City for understanding the added value of top personalities like Rodri, Dias, Aké, Akanji, Bernardo, Gundogan, Ortega, Haaland, to name some.

Realistically 1 more season of walker is worth £13 mil. Make him see out his contract

Thats a fair point if we are going to play him. If he is sat on the bench he costs us £13m plus £8m in wages.

I wouldn't be averse to taking Leroy back.

Plus whatever loyalty bonus he will be owed for seeing out his contract and any win and trophy bonuses he may earn.
You could see the full package for his last contracted year could be in the region of £25m for lost transfer income (presuming modest fee paid in one hit) and remuneration.
Personally I would try to keep Kyle but in order to do so it appears it’s going to cost the sum of an improved two year deal.
Not an easy puzzle for the club.

Not sure we could replace him. I'd keep him.
