I can't remember who said that, but it was one of the respected ITKs - possibly Trix, or JJ.
I'd prefer to keep them both as well, but I think Rose is the better player out of the two of them. He was up there in contention for our player of the season until his injury.

Maybe Alves to Man City isn't as clear cut as our press believe. This article seems to think he wants to stay at Juventus and that this link is just a way of getting Juve to give him a longer contract.

How do we fund our transfer window if he isn't sold for £50m given our penchant for a zero net spend?
Also, don't City need two RBs now?

We received over £20m for Bentaleb and Carroll in January which wasn't spent. N'Jie is going to Marseille permanently which will bring in up to £10m, as well as the fee Roma paid to make Fazio's move permanent. Sissoko wants to leave and it seems we don't want to keep him either and would expect we could get £12-20m for him. That's between £45-55m already before taking into account the possibilities of other potential sales like Wimmer and Vorm.
Coinciding with the increase in TV revenue and our Champions League participation we didn't have a zero net spend last season. If we mirrored our net spend from last season that would be in the region of £65m already. We don't need to sell Walker.

It would make great sense for City to have two right backs. Don't think Alves has it in him to last all the PL season.
But Spurs need two right backs also. If Walker goes then we need a quality right back to take his place. Who would that be? Pereira? And if that doesn't work out who would come in then?
If Rose is sold (evidently Man Utd is interested) then the options of who to bring in to replace him are far greater. Shaw would be the natural replacement if Man Utd came in for Rose. But then there are others - like Sessegnon, Chilwell, Fuchs, Cresswell, etc.

Why do you keep banging this same drum talking about shit left-backs, for crying out loud?!
None of the left backs you insist on continually posting about are fit to scrape the mud off Danny Rose's boots, let alone replace him?!
I could counter your incessant arguement by naming mediocre right-backs like: Zabaleta, Bellerin, Adam Smith and say the exact opposite to you....
I think everyone would prefer to keep Walker and Rose, because they are the best in the league, if not, Europe...

Rose is better than Walker and would much rather him fully fit and in the team.
You're off your rocker with some of them suggestions lol.

They paid obscene money for Stones who is nowhere near as good so not sure what they were expecting to pay for Walker lol.

The left backs that I mention are very good. Quality players. Sorry that you don't see that. And I don't think that the players I mention would cost an arm and a leg.
Surprised that you call Bellerin a mediocre right back. He's one of the best in the PL and Barcelona are evidently interested in him.
I can understand why you call the left backs I mention 'mediocre' if you can call Bellerin a 'mediocre' right back.

A significant portion of Arsenal fans spent most of last season slating Bellerin, suggesting that he had gone backwards from a good season prior to that. But of course Barcelona are interested in him. He's a young, quick, attacking full back who also, importantly, happens to be Barcelona born and bred. If he was German, they wouldn't be so keen.

Fuchs, Chilwell and Cresswell wouldn't cost an arm and a leg because they aren't very good.

I thought Bellerin was quite good too but speaking to a gooner work colleague I don't think he's been all that this year.
I was querying as Wenger dropped him when he switched to 3-4-2-1 playing Oxlaide-Chamberlain, which I found odd.
Cresswell is actually a good left back but I didn't think Chillwell had actually managed to establish himself as first choice at Leicester yet so hey ho...
