Kyle walker

[Bladeloyal]

A decent DOF would stop this kind of thing

There will be one from Southampton looking for a job very soon ,oh sorry you said decent

 

[PrestwichBlade]

You know Walkers social life ??

I think a lot of people know Walker's social life to be fair

 

[mattbianco1]

Plus by not signing him from a rival, we saddle them with the daft salary on a 36yr old.

Burnley - saddled with the best right back in the league, bet they're devastated

 

[SUFC Guy]

Danger is we push the boat out on one good player at this level but can only afford to surround him with very average players at this level they’ll dilute any advantage he brings.
Plus as sentimental as he is about finishing his career here, his social life is west of the Pennines. Burnley is easy from Manchester, Sheffield is not an easy commute in the football months. I know, commuted by car for 8 years.

I don't think location is an issue, he'd just buy something here if he hasn't got something alreaady. He doesn't need a high salary and I don't think he will demand one. He might just fit in nicely into the squad budget?

You know Walkers social life ??

Isn't one of his boys at the Burnley Academy? No doubt one of the reasons he signed in the first place.....if true

 

[Keen Blade]

Tanganga is on £35k a week, if we can offload him we might be getting close to being able to afford Walker then add a young Premier League defender on loan

Fuckinell - are you serious ?
That's just tragic.
We are fucked aren't we ?

He also obviously has family in Shffield
If hes that bothered about his social life in Manchester / Cheshire why on numerous occasions would he say he wants to play for us again

To make us feel all warm and fuzzy

Apparently working for Talksport, at least for the World Cup.

Supplementing his wages to ease the hit when he joins us next season
As ever UTB !

Any chance to dip his formidable wick across the pond

 

[Champagneblade]

I wonder what Wilder is plotting.

If Kyle comes back and Philips signs then where does that leave Seriki?

Do we end up playing 3-5-2 again with Walker RCB and Phillips in the Norwood/Coutts role with Seriki at RWB?

Or does Seriki play on the wing? Brooks seems settled on the right.

Do you have some sort of inverted midfield three with left footed Brooks on the right and right footed Peck or Arblaster on the left? Don’t mind that dynamic.

It seems a shame to just get Walker but then sideline Seriki. But of course you need a back up plan if one is not available.

Not much scope for a pre-season, if so....

Will fit in nicely then

It takes less than 8 years to get over the snake pass

Maybe we are cashing in on Femi. We definitely need to sell. I'm already prepared for Hamer and Peck departing but if we want to pay Walker's wages we will probably need to offload more.

Would welcome Kyle if a deal could be worked out, but I wouldn't swap him for Femi.

 

[Davalon]

In principle I'd be delighted to see Kyle back in a United shirt but I can't say I'm too comfortable at the potential concessions made to fund a short term deal for a 36 year old.

I get the impression that Wilder isn’t the biggest fan of Seriki. Wouldn’t surprise me if walker was brought in as first choice to make Seriki the backup.

 

[Guesty]

I saw in The Guardian today that in the Premier League summary, the Burnley fan named Walker as their biggest let-down of the season.

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

Not quite from the horses mouth but from someone that knows both Wilder and Walker.
Only bit of genuine ITK info I have ever been told.
He's coming back as captain next season.

We can only hope , personally I'd love to see Kyle back the best defender in the world for many years .

I'd prefer Roy Walker, and they're about the same age!

That’s proper Top Bled Bladey Blade stuff. Walker in a back 3 in the Championship would be something, well I hope it would, jury’s out. I’d take him, but i’m not as confident as some that he’d be immense. Maybe moving back from Cheshire might be a good thing?

Not sure if Walker woukd be immense, but I am certain he would be immeasurable better playing at centre half than McGuiness

 

[SUFC Guy]

That's 2 Man City rejects then

Gerrrrummminnnnn

Fuck me, he's still alive?

Last time I saw him was on Catchphrase in 90s!
