What? If we said £40m they would just go get Mendy. Some fans moan about everything. It actually looks like City want both.
It was KLs money under Cortese's stewardship, so it's not an irrelevance. There is a graveyard of clubs in the football league who gambled potential future income. KL is very much in for a windfall when/if a takeover is complete, but until it is. There is no money
I would consider circa £30m a fair price for a international full back in his prime (when he can be arsed) Anything less than £25m would be an insult and the negotiating team fired. City have money to burn, desperate for a LB and Spurs are asking for £40m for Walker
He's better than Walker (not so much this season, but he's been putting in like 60% effort this season), therefore he should go for a similar fee.
We'll announce Targetts new contract after we've sold VVD and Bertrand to put some positive spin on a situation that will piss off 90% of Saints fans Maybe I should have put that in blue
