Can't wait to see him score tomorrow and celebrate by kissing our badge
Its as good as signing a contract extension!
Is it clear though, he started every other game as he always had, we have seen what a proper fall out with Pochettino looks like when Townsend fell out with the fitness coach...he never kicked another ball for the first team, trained with the youngsters and was shipped out at the earliest opportunity...
That instagram post looks fairly terminal.
Not really any other explanation for it I can think of

Agree. Body language - not just hindsight. He was a lying douche bag. He is a douche bag. Never forgiven for what he did.
The Thank You message makes sense if it had been posted the last day of the season, not a week later. He's going, sadly. I was hoping it was just rumours but it isn't. I will miss him, he's been a great player for us and has earned the right to move on if he wants to. I won't be angry with him as I would with some of the players who haven't been here as long, if they tried to leave. Trippier is better than walker when it comes to crossing, but not as good a defender, and not as athletic. I guess we'll have to get in a backup for Trippier who is more defensive minded. No idea who we could get. I will be very disappointed if we don't get at least £45M because this is a player who is the best in the country, and at 26 he is entering his prime. He will strengthen City considerably which is a shame because we are direct rivals with them now.
About 99% of footballers don't give a shit about the fans. When a footballer talks about the fans, it's a bit of a worry.
We'll live.
Poch can turn shit into gold when it comes to full backs.
Perhaps we'll even get an upgrade on Walker - as solid and quick as he was, he was limited technically and his decision making in the final third was always iffy.
A solid 8, 8.5/10 player, but it won't ruin us. We've rebuilt before.

Whatever happens, he's served the club well & can be immensely proud of that. He shouldn't get any grief from us fans at all.
However, I am worried about getting in a replacement of his quality because he offers something entirely different to Trippier. And with a season at Wembley looming & CL football as well, we can't rely on Trippier alone. In fact, I think he will struggle defensively at Wembley because he ain't that quick. Well, not Walker quick anyway. It will be a very nervy pre season if he leaves, because his replacement simply has to hit the ground running as soon as he is needed.

I'm pretty sure most of our first team squad which are on social media have posted post season thankyou's to the fans.
Although I would agree the timing of this seems odd
Goalkeeper Willy Caballero, winger Jesus Navas and full-backs Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna are all leaving Manchester City this summer.

If he is going, he'd do well to acquaint himself with their fans beforehand.
Danny Rose and Kyle Walker
They don't exactly come across like people who know much about football, and seem to think everyone who doesn't play for them is talentless and thick.

Walker doesn't look too unhappy there...in fact he looks like he's having a good time with his team mates. Most unexpected of a player who is supposedly on his way...I'm just not convinced he's going anywhere. Seems a lot of smoke & mirrors, & if he was going, why send him on a pointless end of season trip half way around the world & risking a deal killing injury?
