I am gutted a little bit on regards to losing walker, he has been a good servant, and we have sold him to a rival...

That said, he does massively rely on this athletic ability, which an injury and age will be the first thing you will see him lose... I do think it was the right time to sell him based on this, the figure and the fact we already have a very capable player in trippier

As many have already previously stated if there was one player we could lose from our starting 11 it would have been him...

Pre season is still young and there is plenty of times for signings!! don't fret just yet people.

Then we made a mistake selling him doesn't mean I'd wish his career goes to shit.

Wishing someone all the best means doing brilliantly, i.e. Winning lots of trophies in this case. Happy for him to do ok but I wish all the best for Tottenham Hotspur.

Saying he's looking forward to learning from Pep is amusing too seeing as it's Poch that makes the best full backs.

What he actually means is he's looking forward to all that extra money lol.

It would be hilarious if he'd just come out and said I'm looking forward to all the extra dosh!

May happen in due course, but very interesting that not one player has wished him well on Twitter.

I am not on twitter but I recon this is telling.
A while back I said Walker was in the mix in a friendly in Hong kong and he was.
In recent times Lamela, Dele and others have wished players well asap they left- but not here!
We'll never know everything that's gone on only that something must have happened.
Now all I want is Sterling to stand on KW's little toe- break it and KW to lose 2 yards of pace.
Then Tripps to over take him for England and Son to skin him alive in a few weeks when we play citeh

But if he does well for City then we might do worse.

What City does has no bearing on us, save for 2 occasions. We control our own destiny. If the last two years hasn't shown us that then we have learned nothing as a team and a fanbase. Choices have consequences so letting Kyle go will result in some but that doesn't change the fact that if we win all our games we win the league. Unlikely, but it reinforces the point that Kyle can only affect us 2x a year but ultimately it is in our control.

When Liverpool signed Glen Johnson for £18m in 2009 I can remember thinking it was a crazy price to pay for a RB. At this rate England's number one RB is going to be valued at £100m in 2025.

It's crazy that the media are now saying that prices are out of control because "even Kyle Walker is £50m". When Stones is 50m and Sissoko is 30m Walker isn't overpriced whatsoever for that

Is nobody concerned that we have no replacement RB now that could walk into the first team without issues? The problem here is that, if Trippier gets injured then we might have to move another one of our defenders out to cover him, therefore fucking our shape up and causing us problems.

In isolation the loss of Walker is not a huge negative. But combined with Son , Rose and Lamela missing the start of the season and our move to Wembley which can hardly be seen as a positive for next season and our lack of activity in the market while our rivals have all strengthened it is hardly surprising that many fans are worried. With the wages we pay and our settled first team we are not going to make any marquee signings even ignoring Levy's reluctance to pay the big transfer fees for those signings and we are only going to bring in squad players which is fine as long as they are upgrades on Wimmer, Sissoko, Janssen and Nkoudou.

Lloris
Dier Alderweireld Vertonghen
Trippier Dembele Wanyama Davies
Eriksen Dele
Kane

Remains a strong starting team but other than Winks and Onomah in midfield where is our quality cover in other areas ? Signings need to be made because we are already weakened as a group by the loss of 4 key players from our group.

You don't buy players to cover injuries. It was the existing squad's ability to deal with injuries that's just seen us have a very good season!

We need another RB to replace Walker if Poch doesn't believe KWP is ready to step up. N'Koudou only fits in a 343 as a wing back, and whether he has the defensive capabilities to perform that role is highly questionable, but he showed enough last season to suggest he can provide something different off the bench in a 4231. Sissoko needs to go and be replaced (Barkley?). If Wimmer goes he needs replacing (Foyth?), otherwise he has already shown that he is an able deputy to Vertonghen. I'd be looking at another CB as well with a bit more experience than CCV (Mawson?). Janssen needs more time and we have the added luxury of Son being able to play as a striker to facilitate that.

Maybe in January we'll find that Lamela's race is run with us, but that's why there's a transfer window then (plus, if we get Barkley then that loss is almost mitigated in advance).

Or they would keep the human-level shit private like normal people do/would. Who would want to suffer the public censure from all the idiots in the football fan world for just being a decent person that has spent the last 9 years in the same bunker? I hope none of our team is that stupid to place a target on their back like that. But you can be sure that most did in the locker room as he was their comrade-in-arms for years. But I bet it was also followed by "but we're gonna whoop your ass like we have the last 2 years you unctuous Manc scum".

All it will take is Alli liking a post about him joining City and all the rags will say he's moving to City too...

The joys of modern football.

Doubt we'd care particularly but marketing might like him to participate for added spiciness.
