You're forgetting the fact he is English is a big factor - City need to up their English contingent to fulfil the quota expectations

Who do these jumped up ****s think they are?
Jump in and splurge a load of massive fees and then expect to barter with us instead of just paying the going rate.
They can spar all they want. When Levy has seen them pay nearly £40m for an unproven goalkeeper, I know who I back to get the better deal out of this one.

If we're prepared to sell him can we actually turn around to him and tell him that he can't join Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal & Chelsea as they are title rivals? And possibly Everton. And then West Ham because they are local rivals. I know he's under contract and therefore we can dictate terms of his departure, but legally can we restrict his future employment that much? Especially if he was willing to hand in a transfer request.
The other aspect to this is if we do stop him joining one of those sides then he'll have very few other options in this country and will probably stay but we could end up with an unhappy and demotivated played that's not much use to us.
Hopefully one of the big foreign clubs will meet our asking price and solve the puzzle for us.

He may not want to go abroad.

Then he stays unless City match our valuation. We're not forcing him to stay, he'll have an option to leave. Just not to City unless they pay up.

He would still need to agree to the move though. If he isn't willing to move abroad then he just won't sign a contract with a foreign team. I agree that if our valuation isn't met he stays.

If he doesn't agree to move abroad, he'll stay a Tottenham player and will give 100%. World cup year don't forget. We hold all the aces here. One year into a 5year deal, and city need English players and a right back. It wouldn't suprise me if levy is asking for nearer 60m.

I think we're getting a bit tangled up here. The post I was originally answering said that he could move, but not to City or a title rival. You seem to be saying that he can move to City if they meet the valuation. I don't think anyone's suggesting that he can go to City on the cheap.
I don't think you can say that he'd be 100% motivated though. Or may-be he would be, but his form could still be affected. Look at how bad he was against Palace at the end of last season. I can't fault his commitment in that game, but it was his worst performance of the season by quite a way.

A lot of player didn't get their transfer like De Gea.... but he still the best keeper in the league. In the end, Walker has an obligation to fulfill the contract and he can leave next season once we get this position sorted bedding the academy players.
Walker leaving now for 50m means we spent 20m on Pereira which leave us 30m for other position. Walker leaving next yr for 30m and we have KWP still leave us +30m which Is a zero sum game. If Walker goes now and City wins the title and again we come in 2nd, other players in the squad might want to leave and Levy can kiss the grand opening of the stadium goodbye In 2018. Just saying

Another rag that goes on about a "falling out" between Walker & Poch.
Is there actually any solid evidence of this???

Probably nothing in this, but I remember I found these comments a bit odd when they appeared:

Agree, we don't want this to go to deadline day though and I think they know that. All I care about is that we've got two competent right backs when the window ends.
A deadline would be the best way to go about it. Either you offer X by a certain date or he's not sold at all. We don't want to be scrambling with only a couple of days left of the window.

His performance against Westham away one of the worst I've seen from him, it was so bad that I noticed some of the players weren't passing to him when he was unmarked. He looked like someone who wasn't in the right frame of mind to be playing.

I'm happy for City to pay us 50m clear (City also compensate us for sell on clause to Sheffield United). I think that is great business for a player who hasn't really improved considerably under Poch and should now be at the peak of his career. He is still prone to a costly error every 2 games (instead of every 1 pre poch).
The fact he is up against Trippier for the Spurs and England RB slot should play into our favour with getting him motivated to perform in a world cup year.

I hope he stays one more year and Poch let academy to catch up. He can then go earn his $$ for retirement.
I don't believe there is so much bad blood that he must leave.

Do you honestly believe this? Apparently entitlement comes quickly. If we come 2nd again I, joining many others on this board, will commence another 4 day end of season wank session. Year at Wembley, another season in the CL, beating all the other big spenders after another year of big spending, another season of progress (and yes, consolidating 2nd place is progress as was consolidating top 4 this year). And plus, Levy would not remotely entertain any big outgoings as we move into the stadium. Long contract/new stadium opening =/= no transfers out.

I just hope if Walker is going, it doesn't turn ugly like most of our better (top) players leaving.
Unfortunately we have a tactic where players wanting to leave or tapped up they are forced to come out publicly then us fans turn against player who then goes on strike and we are then forced to sell followed by a complaint to the FA.
If City wants Walker they should pay however I don't feel we need to haggle publicly in fact we should be up front and state want we want then all parties are clear.
