Kyle walker

Kyle can probably get a helicopter to training every day if he wants. Can't see wages being an issue. Burnley might not be desperate to facilitate a move to a potential rival mind you.

Jags was 37/38 in his 2nd spell with us in the Premier League and Walker has been at the pinnacle of fitness in a career at the very top level. I think we forget how recent he was a Champions League player, although only a friendly he played for England a year ago against Senegal.

Wasn't that the original idea when Jags came back? Season or 2 as senior figure and then become a coach? But Wilder got the sack and he played for other clubs for a bit.

There are plenty of players that travel from Liverpool / Manchester each day to train, so i don't think even driving it is an issue

I think so yeah, be interesting to see a project like that. It's a big season for us coming up, as it's either Wilder goes during or post season or he gets an additional contract, and if it's the latter it must be by agreement that he is still developing the squad. When his contract comes to a natural end, even a mid-table finish would be ideal to make the changes needed. Not saying it needs to be internal but Del Geary has been at the club coaching/U18s/academy manager for over 10 years and has been with us since 2004, so not exactly a person that doesn't know the culture of the club and definitely one to consider as either Head coach or possibly Sporting Director

Here is a bonkers idea, not saying it should happen but throwing it out there, say he can't get released from his Burnley contract and they want a fee that we can't afford to be paying. Wilder is in his last year of his contract, could we see Walker signing on as a player/coach at the age of 37, 27/28 season? Then would be the perfect time to shuffle the set-up to a more "modern approach" bringing in a DoF, alongside a younger head coach, Walker as player/coach even at the age of 37 I think we could get at least a 1/2 season worth of minutes out of him. Jags was 37/38 in his 2nd spell with us in the Premier League and Walker has been at the pinnacle of fitness in a career at the very top level. I think we forget how recent he was a Champions League player, although only a friendly he played for England a year ago against Senegal.

There is apparently a break clause in his contract for both sides this summer.

I have read online although not at source about this, does it need to be both parties (Burnley and Kyle) agreeing to it or can Kyle force the issue because it's there even if Burnley want to keep him?
