Manchester City might have broken a transfer record by purchasing one of Tottenham’s better players but it isn’t for Harry Kane or Dele Alli. They have actually spent £45million (plus add-ons) on the 27-year-old Kyle Walker, a player that many suggest, does not know how to cross a ball properly.
When compared to the spending that we have done over the years, clubs and fans have mocked us but more often than not, our players turn out well, maybe Angel Di Maria being an exception. The funny aspect of this transfer is that City made a similar deal for John Stones last season too and that didn’t work out too well either.
We might have only signed Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof but there will be much bigger names coming in before the end of the season. While Jose Mourinho plots his next transfer target, our fans did have a pot at some of those City fans celebrating the capture of Walker.
Lindelof + Bailly + darmian + Valencia= £89M
Otamendi + stones + mendy +mangala + walker = £225M

Looks like City fans won’t be able to give United fans shit for how much Pogba cost anymore after signing Walker.

If a player like Walker is going for 54m Then Lukaku, Pogba, Martial they looks pretty cheap. Most valuable Football club in the world #MUFC pic.twitter.com/g3umdllnBZ

City have alot of players that would get into United first team easily, Kyle Walker is not one of them.

What our back four would look like if we splashed £50m on Kyle Walker:
Valencia – Bailly – Lindelof – Shaw.
