Is Walker even that much better than Trippier who's had a very good end of season for Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Dani Alves would be short-term signing though. Walker is for now and the future. I rate Walker. Think hes the best attacking fullback around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 If the game is played at 100mph then Walker is fine. Slower paced games where he has to think like in the euros and the weaknesses are clear. I recently watched the England-Wales game again and the amount of crosses Walker and Rose just sliced out of play when charging forward were ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think hes the best attacking fullback around Juve signed loads of these guys like him, Khedira (considered finished when Madrid let him go), Tevez and Pirlo and they've done pretty well with that recruitment policy.

PaulC Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 They have but maybe its just an Indian summer for Alves and he might struggle with the pace of the Premier League. I don't know I just rate Walker highly but still think 40 mil is a lot of money for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been a huge fan of Walker TBH, very good athlete but only slightly better than decent for me. Clyne looked better when he played in the Euros.

BOF Posted July 19, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 19, 2017 Manchester City tell own fans to subscribe to MUTV to watch the derby with United Quote Manchester City tell own fans to subscribe to MUTV to watch the derby with United They face each other in the early hours of Friday morning Manchester City fans have been left angered after effectively being told by the club to subscribe to Manchester United’s in-house channel MUTV if they want to watch the derby in the United States. Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola lock horns in the early hours of Friday morning in Houston as City play the first game of their US tour while United look to make it three wins from three Stateside. It will be the first opportunity City fans will get to see new signings Bernardo Silva, Kyle Walker and Ederson as Guardiola looks to mould his squad ahead of the new season. But to watch these City new boys, fans will have to sit through so very United-heavy coverage with the presenters likely to be fawning over the likes of Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Victor Lindelof. City posted a tweet on Wednesday providing options of where fans can watch the game based on which county they are watching from, but omitted to say where British fans could view the game. They did, however, tell fans based in Ireland that MUTV would be their only option if they wanted to support their team live. Therefore, fans will either have to pay the additional £7-a-month to watch the game, or be forced to follow along on a live blog. Either way, City fans are not happy.

Xela Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Kolarov leaving. So that's the prospect of 4 new full backs this summer probably costing £150m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Bit bemused they haven't got a new CB in. Seem to be banking on Kompany staying fit and organizing but he isn't as good as a couple of years back in any case. Then it's back to Otamendi-Stones which was very mediocre. Kolarov played a lot at CB so he's another option gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
