Whatever he earns next season won't affect his lifestyle for the rest of his life one bit

You wouldn't think so, but I guess he has two other children (and their mum) to look after, until they are 18? I am not an expert on family law, so I could be wrong with this.
 
I think my point has been missed here.

He's rumoured to be on £75K p/w at Burnley (£3.9m p/a). Compare that to 2 seasons back at Man City, he was rumoured to be on £175K p/w (£9.1m p/a) - now that is a DROP!!

  1. He knows he's in the twilight of his career
  2. He says he wants to retire at United
Let's say he's got 1 season left in him.

Option 1
1 year at Burnley = £3.9m*

Option 2
1 year at United on £25K = £1.3m

At this stage of his career a 60-70% pay cut isn't that significant. If he REALLY wants to come here, he will make the wage work.


*I also wouldn't be surprised if there's a salary drop in his contract?!?
Can you ask him for his pin code whilst you're at it??

I suppose if we offer him a 2 year deal on £25k a week. Then whilst its over 2 seasons rather than 1 with Burnley, its only a third of a cut for him from what his current deal is. Chuck in a few healthy performance based bonuses re promotion etc and a promise to give him the arm band, then i could see it be workable. It will take some give and take from everyone but its not insurmountable as a signing.
 
If he really wants to play for us again next season is probably his last chance given his age. With all those years at Man City I would imagine he's absolutely loaded now and would take a pay cut if he really wanted to come. You don't see many footballers taking that attitude though. For the vast majority money trumps all other considerations.
And it still does for him as he could have signed for us last summer but chose a club he had no connection to who were nailed on to be relegated. He also chose to sign the length of contract that he did. Kyle wants to end his career with us when hes got no better option.

Do you think Selles would have been interested in signing Walker ?

As above he might want to end his career with us but at the time he signed his Burnley contract Selles was manager. Walker at that time didnt know Selles would be gone after a few months

He was still an England International last Summer (you knew that!), he still had ambitions to play in the 2026 World Cup (you knew that!), he had to carry on playing in the Premier League to keep up his chances of playing of getting a place in the 2026 World Cup squad (you knew that!)
 
Kyle will do good back at the Lane, for both. Not bothered what it costs, if we have the dosh pay him, if he wants more don't. Better spending here than Phillips if we got the dosh. Priority is keeping the good young uns happy, Brooks, Seriki, Peck, Blaster, these are our future don't blow it on old big names it wont work.
