Firstly, Walker isn't exactly one of our best. I would place Kane, Eriksen, Alli, Dembele, Wanyama, Rose, Toby, Verts and Lloris as above him.
Secondly, I would argue it almost weakens City. They're getting a mistake prone, non crossing headless chicken instead of Sagna or Zabaletta. Both Sagna and Zabaletta are defensively on a par if not better than Walker.
Thirdly, in any future discussions with players, Levy maintains the logic that each transfer is a unique deal and therefore so is his assessment of the situation. We are selling Walker because Poch believes it is the best for the team in terms of how good he actually is versus what financially return we get, plus we are weakening City's defence. Imagine when Guardiola gets his non defence mitts on Walker, with Stones as cover, they'll ship loads of goals.
I agree with your final point. If Real or Barca want him then great. However it seems they recognise his flaws and aren't even taking the bait. Plus City inflate prices too much for even them.
Wow i know Stop! Hammer time but i could not disagree more with yours.
