Fucking nuts like, I'm up to speed with the price of players at the moment, but even by that measure £50m for Kyle fucking Walker is nothing short of ridiculous like.

Also the cost literally doesn't matter to City Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Walker is ridiculously underrated on this forum like. Would say that's about right for him in todays climate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Walker is ridiculously underrated on this forum like. Would say that's about right for him in todays climate. The reaction on here is similar to most places i have seen tbh, with that said he was so overrated before that i think he's beginning to become underrated. He's a classic case of people putting down an athlete because they are not the most refined technically, while that is true that doesn't mean you are not effective footballer none the less. The whole Trippier being better stuff is where i draw the line, that's beyond ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Was he overrated before? I feel like he's been held in the same regard throughout his entire career. On this forum anyway. I feel like foreign players are preferred to British players on this forum. I can see why, though. They're probably lauded by the English media. They also don't perform well in the international tournaments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 we're seriously never competing on the top end of the table until we're sold to an owner who is going to spunk some fucking cash. lord, 50m for a fullback. football is wild Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to be taken over by foreign investors, utterly disinterested in the sport, to even consider competing at the top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After everything that's happened, and all the lies we've been told, I've given up on us winning a trophy. I'm just going to watch the games and try to enjoy it for what it is. As for a team that I want to win in this disgusting football world, I'm rooting for Spurs. They're kinda like the "good guys". They have an English spine and the progression they've made in the last ten years has been admirable. Weird feelings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Lazio agreed a fee of £5m for Lucas Leiva. I'd have a dabble at that price, he was excellent at times last year (albeit in a pretty good team with lots of legs around him). Dont really understand why we havent gone for Lucas At 5m and worked with Benitez before, I thought he would have been an obvious choice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Walker is ridiculously underrated on this forum like. Would say that's about right for him in todays climate. He's quite obviously not worth 50m even in this climate like, and that's not a detraction from his talent either, it's just a fairly obvious, inflated price. I wouldn't say it's about right for him considering it's now made him the most expensive defender in the world and, as he's obviously not the best right back, let alone the best defender in the world, people are going to use that as the yardstick to measure him by.

And that yardstick is unfortuanate for him. He has two things going against him. The English premium and the Premier League money. Hopefully these are taken into consideration when he's performing poorly. Obviously they wont but they should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 If you want anyone even semi-proven you've got to spend £50m. Hate it. Kyle Walker ffs, his lass got licked out by a dog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker + Stones for 100m. And this is about right these days? 100m for 2 defenders, one who is a good athlete and not a lot else and the other who plied his trade at Barnsley 3-4 years ago and looks like he's wearing cement blocks for boots half the time? It's aalreet though, he's young and English. Aye, i'd say the sport is f***ed like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
