Bit weird this story. They say he is signing "according to the Daily Star" but I can't see a single reference on the Star website.

My guess is that they mean the Mirror, in which case it doesn't say he will sign at all. Just that they are interested in him.

Also in Merc today on signing Kante Ranieri says that he has an excellent relationship with Walsh and that they talk together often and share the same ideas on football.

Never heard of them I'm sure we could just match there offer anyway, Walsh is one of the best scouts anyway so he must be happy here or he could of gone elsewhere already

Gonna happen isn't it :(

 

Looks like it might. No smoke without fire I guess. Not the end of the world though, we've got a great squad in place so lets focus on the here and now. The way some are talking you'd think it was Walsh putting the ball in the net for us. If he goes, we wish him well, replace him and move on.

Losing John Rudkin would be even more of a loss, but that will not happen.

Why would it? What has Jon Rudkin done? He hasn't scouted the players like Mahrez and Vardy? Rudkin was here during the crap years before Walsh et al. Walsh would be a massive loss, just hope the younger scouts have picked up a lot from him. Or he can use it as a pay rise opportunity... Hopefully top will give him what he wants

How old is Walsh now anyway? 

 

I don't understand why he'd leave? Makes no sense. 

 

Make's perfect sense. Our current position is considered as a fluke to everyone else other than those at the club and is therefore short-lived.

 

Sometimes, money isn't the answer to everything because I'm sure we could match anything financially offered by Arsenal. However, as someone who has been at  a club at the top, perhaps Walsh would like to do it again. Arsenal are Arsenal and regardless of our season so far, we have a long way to go before we're considered equal to them in terms of size.

I'll stick my neck on the line and say Walsh won't go to Arsenal.

 

Walsh has a lot of power at Leicester, he apparently chose Ranieri to be manager and got his way by bringing Kante here when Ranieri didn't really want him.

 

If Walsh goes to Arsenal he won't be the head of recruitment there like he is here, he will be a No2 and answerable to someone. At Arsenal they look for a higher quality player and the higher you go up the more these players are known, they will be expected to compete with the likes of Barcelona for players.

 

I just think the project at Leicester is more fun and he wants to finish the job. He has a documented great relationship with Ranieri and his opinion carries a hell of a lot of weight. If Walsh is adamant we buy a certain player he comes despite what anyone else thinks, his judgement is fully respected.

 

Walsh probably loves his job and very proud of his work so far at the club and would be sad to walk away and hand "his baby" over to someone else. I just don't see him leaving for a lesser role at Arsenal.
