Has he?
I'm not being funny but I genuinely don't remember him saying that.
I was pretty sure at the time that he wanted to go, more than we wanted to sell him because he was being rotated quite heavily with Tripps at the time?
I'm often wrong but I swear that it was Walker who wanted to leave, rather than us wanting to shift him.
The way I remember it is that his head was turned by City. And to be honest that’s understandable. We were never going to keep up with them. He got to work with Pep, got better money, a higher profile, guaranteed trophies.
I think most players would prefer to play for City than Spurs, especially if they had good reason to believe they would be important players there.
