    Even if Walker ends up being a good signing for them I’d much prefer to be doing it our way than that way

    Still can give long length contracts - but for PSR they have to spread the transfer fee over 5 years. I do wonder if there are some deferred fees which are onyl triggered after 5 years so they can still manipulate it. Like selling 5% of the womans team for £100m to bank this as profit still loopholes to manipulate for these big clubs.

    Under the previous regime Moyes would have bought him, no upside and potentially legs have gone.

    Yes it does - but it may mean that a Rigg/Mayenda have to be sold next season to balance the books.

    The lad is way past his best, I'd much rather have Hume. His main attribute was his pace but that's been on the decline a while now. Mundle would likely rip him a new arsehole.

    So great signing for them from our perspective :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Walker is toast he’s been a phenomenal player but his physicals have fallen off a cliff.

    It will be a shame seeing him drag his arse around for Burnley, bar when Mundle is giving him the ole’s.

    Delighted to see them spending their money on his wages which I imagine are still very very high.

    Meh. Experienced defender adding to an already solid back line - I’ll judge at the end of the season.

    Not sure how quick Talbi is? Doesnt look like pure lightening from the clips I was watching, but the teams that were linked with him in May is really exciting mind.

    Still hope we get a proper speed merchant coming in, think its a really important option to have when you are a team down the bottom. Mundle, Mayenda, Isidor are really good for this element, hopefully Talbi is too.

    Defo think we are hitting the £150m mark now. Insane.

    Ahh I thought he looked quick on the highlights I seen, I agree physical attributes is what we need, that counter attack is key to our season

    One of the reasons why I think mundle will have a good season if he can get over these hamstring issues

    I agree with what you're saying... That said, there are pro's and con's to buying a player with this kind of experience. Arguably one of Reidy's best signings was Steve Bould. He was proper old for a footballer and I'm pretty certain he wouldn't have won any sprinting contests. But, the way he commanded the respect from the younger players was a joy to see. He marshalled the defence and his sheer presence was essential to that seasons success.
    I think buying an older player comes down to the character of the individual... Bould was solid and respected..not sure about Walker

    Love how that Talbi is the 2nd player like Sadiki where it was just boom here we go from outta nowhere

    Like others have said makes you wonder if these long rumoured interest ones are genuine, as in Albline which has been all summer

    Petrovic and Mika are high profile so I'd expect a bit more media rumbles
