All the best to kyle. Best right back in the league. Yay for weakening ourselves(yet again)
Juventus just sold Bonucci to Milan. Point is big clubs sell big players some times but only on terms that suit them. Nobody thinks Juventus are now a selling club. Walker has left for football reasons not financial ones. We need to trust in Poch.

Indeed - and it looks like Chelsea are going to sell Costa and Matic too. Selling club?

Think you got that the wrong way around.

to a rival.... !
Well they were prepared to sell Matic to United until they threw their dummies out of the peak over Lukaku.

I know I may have Spurs tinted spectacles on but I think come the end of the window it is the goons who will be seen as a selling club because I don't see them holding on to Sanchez.

I don't think so at all, there was clearly some kind of fall out between Walker and Poch which meant our manager wasn't going to select him as first choice any longer. You are correct that there is a financial aspect in that we can't afford a £54m reserve RB.

That's not strictly true.

He was quite near Alderweireld when we were defending, and quite near Eriksen too when we were attacking.

Sadly, his crossing often wasn't anywhere near one of our best players though...

I like this...

Yuurrr aaaallright!

I'd say we've sold him for football reasons and he's gone specifically to city for financial reasons

You just wait til we haven't bought a replacement in a months time!
To be fair, if not Pereira i'd rather it be Walker-Peters than anyone else.

I'm actually more concerned about us buying a couple of decent attacking players. Depth in attack is probably our biggest problem.

Brilliant! Had me laughing out loud.

Then KWP goes on to do a Winks, Alli, Kane... and we have another great season :whistle:

Hey if Poch thinks he can do it that is great, but from ITK it sounds like he wants another, which is understandable given how key a position full back is for his teams. But if not we can use that sweet moolah to buy shiney things that put balls in goals
