£50m for Kyle Walker (1 Viewer)

Nick · Jul 13, 2017

It's getting silly now. That's enough to run a league 2 club for 10 years.

hill83 · Jul 13, 2017

The numbers up the top don't really mean anything. It's just money being passed back and forth between clubs.

Am I the only one that thinks Walker is distinctly average?

Nope. Perhaps just above average, but £50M? Not on your nelly.

People saying they'd rather have Walker over Alves!

In 2 years Alves will be be 36 and will still be a better player than Walker!

But with agents taking huge chunks every way

Covstu · Jul 13, 2017

It's ludicrous, outside of England he is worth 15m but prem clubs just take the piss and none of them need to sell anymore

Covstu · Jul 13, 2017

Also when the swans can reject 40m for gilfi its just daft!

have heard that Spurs are going to use the money to buy Ross Barkley from Everton so Swansea probably holding out for the whole 50 mil if true!

Ross Barkley is garbage

garbage is a bit strong but not worth anywhere near that type of money.
Only a rumour but a colleague who's involved with their youth set up told me, but we'll see.

Hmmm yeah okay

He's done nothing since he first burst on the scene. Nowhere near good enough for a top 6 team.

Barkley needs to show his potential this season. You can only keep saying potential for so long, it's time some of these English youngsters get a chance. We have some cracking young players from under 17 upwards, it show from the tournaments over the last few couple of months.

I love football fans. Knowing more about a player than scouts and professional football managers prepared to spend big money signing them.

Leave it Mauricio, Ron Macintosh off the internet says he's shit.

So you rate every professional footballer then?

What do you think of Claudio Bravo?

What? Every signing ever made by every manager has been successful has it? What did you think to Michael Mcindoe and David Bell? Great work by the scouting team and manager???

Walker can run fast, that's it.
When he gets the ball after running fast he will stop and pass it back the fifty yards he just ran. No end product wouldn't pay £500 for him

Spurs will be minted, Dyer also supposedly off to United for 40M

Would take dier anyday

Bonucci going to cost AC 14 million less

Liquid Gold · Jul 15, 2017

He's a good player. £50m for a good player is mad.

SBAndy · Jul 15, 2017

One of the key aspects of this deal is he fulfils homegrown quota for City for probably 5 years. Still mad money, mind.

Spurs will improve from this sale as they have a canny operator in Levy.

What's happened there then?

Now it's been reported Spurs have £50M offer for Ross Barkley accepted too, he's too inconsistent to be worth Fiddy Mill, surely?
If they're gonna splash the cash, then why not buy Siggurdson back from Swansea (reported for around £40m with Everton sniffing), IMO he's a far superior consistent player.

Dropped 30 million on him after the Euros and on a reported 85k a week. Never got near the first team regularly and now they want rid 1 year into the 5 he signed up for. Noone in the PL wants to touch him after the Newcastle relegation plus reports of being lazy and no-one back in France can afford those wages.

Rumour is they are going to have to pay a big chunk of those wages for the next 4 years to get rid. I don't know why they signed him, everybody could see he wasn't up to it.

I see, perhaps Monaco could afford him, PSG wouldn't go near him I reckon.
Remember some manager saying (think it was Fergie) once, to never buy a player on the back of a good World Cup, Euro's etc. as they raise their game for it. Having said that he paid £30M on Rio Ferdinand iirc on the back of a good World Cup from Leeds, so I guess it can work out.
