It makes a little sense...if you consider that Pep (and Xavi) quickly came out and rubbished the Dele story ... Almost as though he knew they were working on one deal and did not want to jeopardize it with the Dele rumours...
I would hate to sell Walker to a rival though. If it's true, Poch must have a lot of faith in KWP, or he is moving Dier back...
We would be mad to sell Walker. Rose and Walker take us to another level when they are both firing on all cylinders. Teams cannot cope with both. Take out Walker and they can concentrate on Rose and blunt our effectiveness from both wings. The fact that so many other teams want Walker tells you all you need to know.
There is no need for us to weaken ourselves and strengthen a rival. Poch has already said we don't need to sell. We're nobody's feeder club now.
Trippier is very good but personally I feel Walker is better.They want him because they know we have an excellent back up in Trippier. The main thing is that we don't need to strengthen other EPL teams. We've made it to the 'top table' and it's absolutely crucial that we do everything possible to stay there. We'll only sell abroad now IMO.
