Not sure we have chased him all summer. I bet one or two offers or inquiries will do it.

I actually hope we did. Otherwise I'd be puzzled to figure out what the hell we were doing this whole time. At least, then we'd have some sort of lame excuse why we allowed City to sign three quality wingbacks right under our noses.

They all cost a hell of a lot and wouldn't agree on the quality part of that comment either.

Take away Walkers englishness and pace he is awful, he can't cross, can't tackle and has very limited positional awareness, him under Pep is a recipe for disaster not success.

Danilo has been on the bench at RM since he has been there so it may take him a while to regain what he had at porto and even then he looked defensively suspect.

Both are probably worse than Zabaleta atm in all aspects bar pace.

And can't really comment on Mendy but he is likely better than Clichy and Kolorov so he will improve them, but again from what I have heard he also is better going forward than back.

Danilo would have made good back up for both lwb and rwb but for 30m is a risk and Mendy may have been useful but is he much better than Alonso he certainly isn't on Sandro's level. Overall not fussed we missed out on both and I am extremely glad we dogded the walker bullet.

Both Mendi and Walker are easily better than our starting fullbacks. Haven't seen enough of Danilo to get an opinion, but if Conte wanted him and Walker, I trust they could have brought something that we're currently missing.

Walker isnt easily better than Moses, his deficiencies as well as Moses' I might add are massively covered for by the way Poch has Tottenham play there is a reason Walker is kak everytime he plays for England.

As I said can't comment to much on Mendy probably  is slightly better than Alonso but given Alonso's form last season dropping him for someone slightly better is a bit of a kick in the teeth. And I imagine Mendy will have wanted to be guaranteed first choice. Wouldn't have mind if we were signing him for competition though.

He IS easily better than Moses if we compare them as fullbacks.

Anyway, that's just my opinion.

Walker is definitely better than Moses in every aspect form pace to technical ball skills to decision making. 

Missing out on Mendy is a big blow too but I suppose the board wouldn't want to fork out 52 million pounds to compete against Man City.  

 
Come on make this happen. Arguably would be our biggest transfer in the window. Even bigger than Morata.

 
Only way it will happen now is if Sandro forces it, guess we better start looking elsewhere.

The manager has ruled it out so that's that. Just not going to happen

The manager always rules out his best players leaving whatever the scenario..."so and so isn't for sale at any price...what about 80 mil...we thank him for his service to the club and hope he is happy at his new home"

Until he signs a new contract I'm going to continue to believe we will sign him.

Heard the same from Juventus about Pogba.

If Sandro decides he wants to leave, nothing to suggest that Juventus will get in his way judging from their previous outgoings. However that's the key, Sandro will have to force a move.

I believe we need to force the issue and let the player know he needs to make his feelings known if he actually wants the deal to happen. We cannot afford to linger much longer or by the time Sandro signs his new Juve contract we'll be left with no alternatives available.
