I think most are discussing the impact of losing Walker and thus looking at the merits of his 'current' replacement.
I have always preferred Walker for pace and energy, especially when he can use it for recovery in defence and have also been impressed by Trippier's and in general his footballing skills which I believe are better than Walkers!

It's why City paid £54m (innit)
Still crazy money, especially for a non striker........

In a world where lukaku is 75m and Siggy is more than 40m then walkers 54m really isn't crazy money in relation to the market.

Crazy prices all around. It can't go on like this can it?

That's the problem
Wages only ever go one way
And transfer fees too
Someone will end up paying and currently it's the tv companies so the fans on tv
Their is a point where there's is no more left to squeeze from the sponge and it's why now is the best time to invest in your infrastructure as it's there for ever in theory

The TV money won't last too much longer. Sky are starting to wobble and BT won't be far behind

BT Are fecked IMO
They will never get anywhere near the numbers they need to make it pay
Sky are clever in their remodelling and will hang in there
A shame Walker is chasing the money
We finished second and are building the best stadium in the country, so he leaves? Silly man.
It all depends who we buy really. I'm sure Porto / Lisbon / Valencia / Salzburg / Werder type clubs will have a good replacement for us
How can he be expected to get by on a paltry 70,000 a week?
We had better win the quadruple this season as the other main contenders are a bunch of clams and cheats.

The standard is pretty low though
Man Utd have Valencia, Liverpool have Clyne, City had Zabaletta/Sagna, Chelsea have Moses, Arse have Bellerin
Yeah compared to them Walker is the best

£50m is 12.75% of Emirates Marketing Project's revenue from 2015/16 (last published accounts)
Its the equivalent of us spending £26.79m on a player (12.75% of our £210m revenue)
They got him on the cheap.

That a % of the mor revenue not their profit
They also have very few saleable assets now so again have the issue that they can't bring money in that way
It's a fair price IMO

I feel really sad about this. Whilst it's looked for a while like he was on his way, I nonetheless harboured a hope that whatever the falling out between him and Poch (and I'm sure that's what it was, not homesickness nor even wholly about wages), that it could be resolved.
Best RB in the league. No doubt we could have got more for him a) if there had been more than one club bidding; or b) if Levy had the luxury of time to drag more out of City. But I think what we have seen here is Levy supporting Poch and agreeing a decent fee earlyish in order to draw a line under the affair, and move on to securing Poch's targets.
Walker has been a very good servant of the club, and I wish him well (I just don't wish him success at our expense).

If they need it, they can easily get a multi billion dollar sponsorship for their training ground/car park/club mascot/upper tier block 22 trashcan though. £54m is not even close to a fair price when you deal with financial cheaters.
