Kyle Walker

[Berkshire Blade]

If we paid him 50k a week on a 2 year deal that costs £5.2m in wages. Which other centre back with his experience do we sign for a total of £5.2m including wages?

He's only a CB in a back three

 

[Wards]

I'd be delighted if he came as a right-sided CB. And he's still a bloody good full back, especially so at Championship level. Anyone saying they don't want him is mad, the only way I wouldn't is if he was requesting daft wages.

 

[S64 Blade]

Why do a lot of our fans see SUFC as a rest home for ex players retirement. Looking at last night he is done at top level so will be looking for a best last pay day to service his woman debts. It a big NO from me.

Why do a lot of our fans think we are playing at the top level? There's a massive difference between international and the elite level of top flight football that Kyle has been playing at, compared with ourselves. Have you forgotten 2023/24?

At championship level he's be a very good partner to a 6'4' inch brick outhouse who wins everything with Kyle clearing up behind. For example Souttar (if fit) and Kyle would be the best partnership in the division

Agreed. The Senegal attackers last night would give most prem full backs a run for their money. There are no attackers like that in the Championship.

Gerrrrrrrrimmmmmmmin !

------------- Cooper
Seriki - Walker - Souttar - Burrows

Is Souttar playing on crutches?

Nah mate, he'll be back for Jan

yes i think kyle would make a great rcb at championship level him and seriki down that side would be a great pairing

I was thinking exactly this, but coupled with him helping develop Seriki on with his experience.

 

[Geordie Blade]

BUT the old adage, managers/players rarely work out second time around. Mouriniho/Ronaldo classic examples

Billy Sharp, Brian Deane, Keith Edwards.

If achilles injuries cleared up that cleanly without impacting performance, I would guess that Egan would still be at the club. If Souttar is somehow able to get back to anywhere near the level he showed before his injury it's going to take a long, long time - I certainly wouldn't be in for him before he's proven his recovery.

 

[Chimpan-A]

Could probably still do a job at a mid to lower PL team as well.

He might not have the pace anymore, but he's got tons of valuable experience that would be welcomed at a lot of clubs.

Easily the best/most successful player to come out of the city of Sheffield.

He hasn’t got his old pace anymore, and is getting found out by quicker players. I suspect he still has phenomenal amounts of pace left, enough for the championship.

At Championship level there won't be any quality players quicker than him. The only players who might be quicker than him will be the "speed boat with a broken rudder" sorts who have the pace but not the footballing skills to be any good.

We need our back four sorting before Jan.

And there’s no definite return from an Achilles tear to the same level as before.

Statistically 25% of athletes never return to the same level they weee at previously after Achilles surgery so we absolutely should not be waiting and hoping on Souttar regardless of how good he was previously.

Missing Souttar until January would be just as costly as missing him after it this season. Ie it cost us goals and points.

Fortunately for us all, I don't purchase the players so I don't think we need to worry too much about my predictions/wishes

4 months of Robinson is ok

 

[Thrice]

I think if we had got promoted there would've been an outside chance of him coming back. But with the World Cup on the horizon there's no chance he'll play in the Championship next season. Would pretty much end his international career.

He probably ended it last night.

 

[sitwell]

He’s playing bad enough tonight to be good enough for us tomorrow

We are bad then are we ?

 

[sitwell]

We are bad then are we ?

I know youre a clown but what sort of response is that. 92 points from an almost blank sheet in one season, introducing players like Arblaster, Peck, Burrows and Cooper into the team, is bad. ? Just carry on your crusade to get rid of CW and bring Utd down if it makes you feel good.

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Looks like he's signing for Everton. It's in the Sun so it must be true

Kyle Walker to leave Man City this summer as two Premier League clubs circle

KYLE WALKER has agreed to join Everton on a one-year deal. The England right-back has been locked in talks with Toffees chiefs since his return from his loan spell at AC Milan. Eve…

[Old Programme seller]

Tbh they’ll pay him considerably more than we can afford and he’ll play in tne PL

 

[diplomat]

I’ve said a few times but if we are serious If we get up, then throw Walker and Maguire in there and that back 5 with Anel, Burrows and Cooper looks serviceable.

With Arblaster, Peck, Souza, Hamer, Davies, you have some decent options already not forgetting O’Hare too. I can imagine is moving to 4-3-3 and having an extra body in midfield like Wilder had before.

It’s not a blank slate. There is something to work with.

Even up front, I can imagine Campbell could surprise a few. He’s a very clinical finisher.

Isn’t Maguire on about £150k or more a week though? He’s still good enough to warrant a move to a West Ham/Everton type club

 

[Whitby-Blade]

Burnley have agreed a deal with Kyle.

 

[chesblade]

5 million apparently

 

[dexter101]

Burnley have agreed a deal with Kyle.

All part of the plan, keep him going another year, they get relegated, we get promoted, he comes home.

Or...


He is loaned out by Christmas because he gets his knob out in a Burnley nightclub and there's a riot

 

[Ginger Gnome]

At least he's not coming here, pace was his main attribute but he's absolutely finished physically and was woeful for Man City last season. Should have gone abroad where he wouldn't get exposed every week as he'll be a total liability in the PL unless he can reinvent himself as a different kind of player.

He did go abroad. on loan to AC Milan since January

 

[CoatesyBlade]

That’s him never coming back to the lane. It was now or never… he’ll be absolutely shot come this time next year and we’ll (hopefully) be on to better things!
