The only way it will be less than an obscene amount of money - for a RB - will be if Poch and Walker really can't mend their differences and Poch wants to let him go. Then it will be a substantial amount nonetheless but perhaps not as much as we fans might think it should be, when comparing to other transfer fees. But no doubt there will be add-ons that will inflate the headline fee.
I still hold out hope that we will call City's bluff and Walker will be with us come the end of the window.
Imagine us not selling a single first team player, after all the rubbish spouted about all our players heading for the high-wage-exit-door at the first opportunity. What a strong message that will be. Even if Walker leaves, as long as he is the only first-11 player to depart, we will still be sending out a huge signal that we are no push overs and our players see THFC as a club worth sticking with.

All very true.
Even so it should really come as no surprise to discover Poch has already mentally banked the extra funds from the upcoming sale with a view to bringing in one or two experienced 'off the shelf' gems like Wanyama last season and Alderweireld the season before in order to help us make a more sustained challenge for the title next season.
For it can surely be no coincidence that Trippier has been offered a vastly improved contract at the same time as Walker is the subject of such persistent transfer rumours. My guess is that whilst negotiations may drag on yet a while, KW is in effect already gone and it won't be long before Poch recycles the incoming funds in the direction of his preferred target(s).

Disagree. One going and it's the latest Bale/Modric/Berbatov/Keane/Carrick/Sheringham/Carr/Cambell ad nauseam. Or like Arsenal one-by-one selling their title winners to City.
Levy has to make a statement here to prove its not 'same old Tottenham'. He stays or goes abroad.

"We will sell players because of the players we want to sign. For our fans, it is so clear that all the decisions we take are for the reason to try to improve the team, to try to be more competitive next season." - Pochettino.
I think that's fair enough, don't you?

I think it is in theory, but it could come across or be twisted to just look like words. The physical fact of not selling would be pretty big I think. If he does go it needs to be an astronomical figure like we got for bale.

Probably pay any sell-on clause due to Sheffield Utd, add our own sell-on clause in, further payments after certain level of appearances and competition wins.
So it could add up to a pretty penny.

I will guess that it won't be good enough for some, but for me, in Poch I trust. AND I love Eric Dier.

If it relates to Sissoko - yes
But Walker is the best right back in the world under 33 (i.e. not Alves or Lahm), so selling him will be nothing other than downgrading the team

100% agree with gutterboy for once. Walker supposedly doesn't want to push for a move, poch says we don't need to sell and levy has said don't need to sell. If we sell sets a precedent for the next couple of years and teams will be circling like vultures. It's all well and good announcing all these new kit deals new stadium etc but deary me just start acting like a big big club and tell all his suitors to fudge off, unless we are actively looking to sell the best full back in the league?

ultimately it will be a business decision, you can sell a player and seemingly weaken the first team yet strengthen the club
if we get offered more than Walker is worth we should take it, the same goes for Kane, Lloris, Rose et al
we shouldn't fear change, we're good at replacing players

I think these days any business decision will be heavily influenced by the playing side and Poch's input. i.e.. I can't see Levy acting against Poch's wishes.
If Walker does not want to leave, if Poch sees a continuing role for him, and if Walker is happy with that role - then I don't see that Levy would sell.
For Levy to sell, or even consider selling, at least one of those things is no longer true, imo of course.

Why unsettle the squad to only try to cone back to where we are?
Levy has said no one is for sale and it's up to poch
Baleforce
Arthur Rowe
does it unsettle the squad?
players come and go, every one in the team now has taken the place of someone else and they will all lose their place to someone else in the future, that's how the game works
there is a difference between actively trying to sell players and every player having their price

It could be a question of what would unsettle the squad the most? Poch demands 100% commitment to the cause so the key for me is whether Walker has come to terms with having to alternate with KT on a weekly basis.

Have to agree with this, we become a selling team again IF ( and i am still not sure we will) sell Walker.
Our biggest problem will be at end of next season if we end up with no trophy . I have said this before ( and many do not like hearing it) if we fail to win something my fear will be more players will be looking to leave.

If the top 'paying' teams, which also happens to be those who stand a chance of a league title and or CL honours come after one our players, 'at the moment and until we have a similar revenue stream', players will leave.........just like at Arsenal and Liverpool.....
It is a fundamental of the football food chain.

It doesn't work though in practice. Not once have we sold a top player and improved overall. It just sets us back at least 2 years
