Fair play, he wants trophies, not gonna happen at Spuds.
The first of this group to move on - at least 1 more of them will jump ship this window I imagine, maybe Dier to us.

The best right back in the league. Signed from a direct rival. I'm delighted!
He is good but, not a huge loss for Spurs.
You signed Valencia from united?
That was about as quick as I expected haha
Spurs reckon that Trippier is better.
Hard not to decline over £50m. Spurs need to buy some players though, they've done feck all.
Money is football is mad but I've been telling people to expect this for years. Pogba was a steal and I always knew that even last season when people harped on about price.
As for walker he's alright but not world class. Think Valencia is the better player but walker will certainly improve them.

This could cause some debate. I'm with Valencia on this one 
Most expensive English player ever, Most expensive defender ever, 9th most expensive player ever, Kyle Walker ffs
Wasn't Sterling more expensive?
Amazing that they were willing to sell to a direct rival. Selling club.
Most expensive English player ever...? Wow.
Good deal for both clubs. 50m is too much for Spurs to turn down and City don't care about splashing the cash.
Yeah there is a lot of talk about the price but really I'm amazed Levy didn't squeeze us for more.
We paid £44m for Raheem.
I actually rate Tripper. Former City youth too. Walker is better though.
45 million fecking pounds.
The world has now officially gone mad 50 million for Kyle Walker. Levy must be laughing his socks off. Got Trippier for sod all and gets 50 million for Walker.
Careful mate, the resident spurs fans on this site are a touchy lot.
Surely if he went for £45 mil then he's not even the most expensive English defender at City?
That price would have brought you Zidane in 2001
I hate modern day football prices for average/good players

I genuinely think Levy deserves his own statue outside of New White Hart Lane. 45 million for Walker when they have Trippier, who is nearly as good. Simply amazing business.
aye 44 plus add ons. not sure weather his add ons will amount higher than Walkers or not . round the same I think
Bayern evaluated him in April and were willing to offer €18M. Would say that´s on the low-end, but still...
Statues are generally reserved for people who actually help their club to win things, thank feck. Football's money-obsessed enough as it is, the day they start honouring people for profit margins is the day I will stop watching altogether.
I'd rate Bellerin and Valencia above him, but a good player nonetheless. Going to be a good signing for city i think. He'll spend a lot of time covering for the abomination that is John Stones.
No way
You could argue that levy's astute financial management has what laid the platform for them to move into a new stadium and eventually compete for trophies. I think that's quite a worthy achievement.
Yeah football prices are getting ridiculous.
Regulators might have to introduce transfer caps or something. I'm not against clubs signing players, but it just seems transfers fees just keep increasing
Yes way. In my opinion at least. I'm a fan of Walker though, just prefer Bellerin.
He´s great. No doubt about it.
Jaysus. Didn't realise he was 27. At least when you spend crazy money on the likes of Stones, Lukaka or Pogba you're hoping for big improvements over the next few years. Walker might have already peaked!
Bellerin has been a train wreck for the past 12 months
People are forgetting the shambolic full backs we've been enduring the last couple of years. Sagna, Kolarov, Clichy and even Zabaleta are all well past their primes. Signing top quality full backs will improve our team drastically. Absolutely worth every penny.
You could argue that but you'd be wrong. Hence nobody is building trophies for anyone at West Ham for getting them a much cheaper move to a similarly sized stadium. Or any of the Arsenal board for getting them out of Highbury and into the Emirates.
The only person at Tottenham who might one day deserve a statue is Pocchetino. Assuming they finally end up winning something.
Trippier is at least twice as good. And it's bad business from City to give £50m to a title rival. Spurs will surely invest all of that back in the squad and come back even stronger this season.
