Kyle Walker

[mill]

We could dig up posts from SC experts about every single player in the team, other than maybe Toby and Wanyama, where they've slated players and advocated them being dropped. Eriksen, Dele, Kane, Lamela, Son, Dembele, Lloris, Rose - all of them. Posts on SC are no indicator at all of a player's ability, most people on here (myself included) talk a load of bollocks.

BC being dead against signing Wanyama when he's been a key part of our success this season being a good example

I am pretty certain it wasn't kyle Walker's form that lost him his place to Trippier, we surely know by now that as soon as Pochottino accepts that a player is 100% with him and his project he doesn't waste time he just moves on and in this case he has moved on to Kieran Trippier.
If we sell him then I'd say get the best price for him, I am not really that bothered about City being a rival, if they don't buy him they'll still strengthen by getting someone else in and we'd be in the same situation with Walker having gone somewhere else.
If he goes to City we'll have more money to get a replacement or strengthen where we need to.
The Modric situation is often brought up but that wasn't really the same, for one thing it was Chelsea and fuck them although some people might think they have got us back since then but more pointedly they were taking the piss, offering a bag of beans and a player they valued at £12million but who they released on a free soon after, they offered less than half what Madrid paid us, nobody is going to pay us double what City will for Kyle.
I think City are a decent enough club to deal with and maybe it would be worthwhile to have a grown up relationship with them.

I thought it was reported they offered us 40m? More than we got from Madrid

Chelsea were offering much more than we got from Madrid.

You don't sell to your rivals unless you have no option - ie 1 year in contract.

Where do get this from? They started at £22million £12 million of which was Solomom fucking Kalou, all their bids included him and they obviously thought so highly of him they let him go at the end of that season because they didn't want to offer him a new contract, they were taking the piss.
Any £40 million bid was only reported on the last day of the window wasn't confirmed and it was also claimed that Chelsea were just making a point to further upset Modric so none of that can be taken seriously.
On top of all that they didn't speak to the club first, they spoke to Modric's representatives, agreed a deal and tried to railroad us into letting him go, It won't be like that with Manchester City.
No offence guys but it upsets me that history gets rewritten and lets be honest we did right by Luka, I think he would agree he got the best deal in the end.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

i think he was ok defensively but he made many fatal mistakes which costed us many games, like the suicidal back pass against lolpool. he made much less mistakes since poch arrived

For most of our players I'd agree, but if we can invest any money we get from Walker wisely I'd think the deal would strengthen us more than City.

Having spent a fortune on Sissoko (who is worse than I ever thought imaginable) I'm not particularly confident that we would.

Oh really? Then why have we had ITK to say he's already been tapped and had his head turned by city?

If you don't think they won't behave in the exact same manner as Chelsea and try to twist our arm, then you need to have another think.

There was no ITK on walker until all the rumours started in the daily rags, so I'll take any ITK on walker with a pinch of salt.

I don't understand the conflict, Walker has his moments like most players but there is no doubt he is a top drawer attacking full back which is why Citeh and others are wiling to pay £40m + for him. I don't grudge him he has been with us for 8 years and probably fancies a change of scenery, maximise his earnings etc.

We are in a great position because we have another excellent attacking full back who I believe has been patient, possibly has a higher ceiling than Walker (certainly in the final 1/3) and will be no1 RB next season.

We have Dier as an opton there and KWP coming through so I don't expect us getting in another RB unless it's another nipper with potential.

p.s anybody remember the time when we always had 15 RBs?

could have been because they were all shit lol.

Where was that posted?

It was either in his player thread in Spurs chat, or in the transfer wish list thread. Can't remember who divulged it, but they basically said he'd been tapped up, then gone to Levy to ask for more money. Apparently this is where the whole thing started with him being dropped.

 

[Tyler24durden]

If we sell to Man City then it needs to £40m+ and with a couple of their youngsters from their academy thrown in too as they have some real talent that doesn't get playing time.

That would help us in the long term too if we get top youngsters we can nurture, develop and help become 1st team players.

The deal has to be right for us.

If no youngsters then no deal, or it's £55m upfront.

 

[LukaKranjcar]

I dont want to lose Kyle Walker, that im sure of, but City are going to strengthen their weak positions regardless. If Walker wants out, why not take their money and improve our squad with it? If we manage to get £40m+ off them, thats probably doubling our current transfer budget. They've shown their intent with the Silva signing. They either give us lots of money for an unsettled player or go out and give it to someone else.

There is no ITK confirming that and City have not launched a media campaign to pressurise us into selling and we have no reason to believe that they haven't been in contact with the club.

You're talking about this nonsense?

A friend who occasionally gets info from someone he knows on the board told me walker's been offered more than double his contract by city. He went to levy and demanded the same money to stay, levy told him he'd just signed a new deal and the wouldn't be happening. Then Walker started acting up in training so Poch said that's it - he's out at the end of the season.

This was all the week of the semi final and the club is furious, considering reporting city for illegal approach.

 

[hodspurs]

would be some signing for city. get the best rb in the prem and weaken the team above them in one move...
