Already has 4 in Manchester so not too far for those ones, the new Italian 2 might be tougher.I wonder if Walker is going to move all of his families to Burnley?

That's why I'm intrigued to see how he gets on as he is suspect defensively but love the aggression he plays with both in and out of possessionThere was a piece I read recently that I sort of agreed with in terms of his defensive shortcomings - he's quite good in duels but overly aggressive so he either wins the first ball or is drastically out of position. Commits too heavily and sometimes defends higher up than his winger, but looks great when it works and he has undeniable quality on the ball.
Would love him if Hürzeler goes back to his 3-4-3 system with a half back in the middle of the defence but not sure he will.
Good to hear mate. The club seem to have gone into this window with a really clear plan, and options a, b,c etc. It is really impressive. I look forward to seeing what Regis and his new look coaching team deliver. In a daft way our new coach is as exciting as any players we have signed. Imagine working with Pioli for so long. So much knowledge.Oh aye of course not, it's usually me who's trying to manage expectations when everyone is saying the new signings are unbelievable - I just really like what Sadiki is about and was interesting to hear that we've been monitoring him since last summer too.

Hopefully a couple more on top of that as wellforgot about him. The new keeper coach has serious credentials as well

He will need fine tuning but he's got the attributes teams look for in a LB
I do prefer him as a LWB tho
A couple indeedHopefully a couple more on top of that as well

If you double the months then yes,Walker would’ve been an unbelievable signing even 18 months ago, not so much now
I like his experience mind, still hoping we bring some in
Good signing for them, surprised that isn't a general consensus.
And in england before that, his pace is going and positionally he's been poor for years but was so quick to make up for it.he was so so poor in Italy
he was so so poor in Italy
Had personal problems didn't he? He's always been an athlete type, so long as he stays fit and strong he'll do a job for them.
The coaches last year worked a miracle in my opinion. They were so few on the ground after Dodds left, and even before tbh. You really do need a team within the team of coaches. I dont think less than 5, excluding gk coach, is sustainable. I am in awe of the work that goes in away from matchdays. These lads do 60 hour weeks just on the book. Mind you, I would have loved a chance at it. Really would have. Money was too poor for me to scrap way through youth ranks by the time I got into it. I young lad I coached with, and I gave a leg up to, has just got his first official crack at Man City academy. He is so bloody good it is mad to see him work. He has no dependants and throws every hour he has into it. Never kicked a ball in anger mind, but man can he put on a session. He will soend hours on one session. He brought a week playbook to me once and it was beyond me. We were doing progression stuff and he wanted to week 3 of 3. I had no clue how he was going to make it work, but I trusted him. He smashed it and he had 2 u19 lads assisting him. I just moved the cones and handed out bibs. Elite stuff. But it is always a team that makes the sessions flow. Even in that week I remember taking lads out and doing little 1-1 bits for 5 or 10 mins. Or seeing someone not quite at it and having a word. Massive job coaching. Err, sorry, rambling nonsense.forgot about him. The new keeper coach has serious credentials as well
