Kyle Walker played 2 league matches for United before the Play-Offs.
Kyle Naughton played 40 for United.

The fact you valued an extremely inexperienced player who plays for an average club at £5 million is daft. In what world would any club pay that for one player alone. The fact Tottenham payed £10 million for them both (but with Naughton being the better prospect) is unbelievable.

£5 million, lol.

So unbelievable that another club were prepared to pay the same amount. I guess that makes it doubly unbelievable.
Of course Walker would be worth more after another season.
We sold him cheap, it was a massive cock-up of a sale for many reasons, not just financially.

Only if he wasn't bought for an over the odds price in the first place. It will be interesting to see if any right back moves out from the championship for over £3 Million this season.
 
i have it on good authority that walker and naughton were still on academy wages when they were sold !.. anyhow..lets get this thread up to date.. arsenal and manutd in bidding war for jagielka.. prices start at 20million!

Bob, Everton and Spurs were prepared to pay £5m for Naughton. Have a think son.

Counting the Play Offs Walker made 5 apps, Naughton made 40. That's 8 times as many appearences hence a higher price tag
Your right if we kept Walker for another season then he would have been worth more but he didn't so he didn't have match experience so your price tag of £5 million is completely daft given that after half a sucessful season at United and some appearences for Spurs he is still only rated 6.7 so not worth £5million

Walker made 2 appearances in the cup too, which 5 + 2 = 7. But that's irrelevant.

Anyways, nice to see you're finally realising what we're trying to say, had Walker stayed, he could have been worth £5 million, my point was, that it is feasible that he would be worth this, considering previous dealings that have taken hand.

We are not saying he was worth £5 million last season, the OP stated it was a 'mistake' selling him at the price given last year because had he stayed on, his potential could have seen us get more money. Please see below from the original [post.

Even if a transfer doesn't happen, this doesn't mean that teams wouldn't be prepared to spend £3 million on a right back from the Championshin should he be good enough
 
So, to summarise:

Kyle Walker could have been worth £5mil, he could have been worth sod all.

Someone might spend £3million on a right back if he's worth £3mil, they might not if he isn't.

I'm glad we've cleared this up :D
 
Three things......
1 Walker would almost certainly have been worth more now than then. Prem clubs are now trying to "stock up " with English players to meet the new rules on squad make up.
2 Whatever your views on good or bad, it seems that this was not business done for the benefit of the football club, more for the needs of the Property Company.
3 Unfortunately what's done is done so apart from the odd rant now and then, 'cos this will stick in some peoples throats for a long time, we need to move on.

Loving point 2 Isiah - fabulous stuff.

Good job I wasn't around yesterday as my head would probably have exploded but it's allowed me to see the funny side of Bob's comments on this.

Uh-oh, wrong again. Everton only wanted Naughton, Spurs wanted the pair and were willing to pay a massive sum for them.

Come on lenners, you've just about lost all dignity now. I'm embarassed for you.

What the comments about the player wanting to leave and his agent setting up the deal?

Well if the agent was discussing with Spurs about a deal then surely this is 'tapping up'. Maybe, just maybe United gave permission for it to happen.

So a young player with no Premier League experience who came through the ranks at a fairly average Championship club with 2 games under his belt would be worth £5million?!
Please get a grip, if we got the £10 million for the pair then we have the better end of the deal.

We sold Walker for £3M (potentially rising to £4M) after only 5 games in the Championship. Since then he's played another 26 Championship and 2 Premiership games. It's perfectly reasonable to suggest that a player with five times more experience might be worth £1M more.

Are you sure you're sure about that?

Yes but after 5 games he was not worth £5 million, we're not on about selling him now but when he was originally sold
 
If lenners says you are wrong it doesn't matter what the facts say. If lenners insists the moon is made of green cheese then it must be so. If lenners states he is correct then he is, because lenners says so.

Then again, you can always choose to believe what you like. Personally I think he's full of shit with a complete inability to answer a simple question, but that's just me. And I am always right. Always have been, always will. You ask my wife.:D:D:D

Nice try son, nice try.
But perhaps a wee bit of a fail.

Full marks to you there for the patronising wanker bit though.

Nice one. Well done. Confirms what we all think.


*EDIT* To Foxy and Linz. Yes, it's name calling. Give me my infraction please. But can the patronising wanker have one too, for his incessant inability to get his head out of his arse and answer a fucking question with a yes or a no?
 
This has confirmed beyond any doubt he's just a wind up merchant. But feel free to carry on lenners, it's gone from embarassing to funny again!
