Chev Walker

[Matt Collins]

Would love to buy him, but think it's pretty unlikely. He could be in their first team next season

Rumour had it that Redknapp would only sanction the loan deal if it were with the view to a permanent move at the end of it.

There are plenty of young players who were clearly very good that Redknapp has sold.

Taraabt and Boateng are the two that spring to mind, both after very successful loan spells.

[PeterWithe]

He has played well for us but he's not a CL class player yet and that is where Spurs are, I'd think we have every chance of buying him if we want to in the summer. To my mind he needs to be a bit physically stronger as i've seen him eased off the ball by similarly sized players but he is very promising when he has the ball and he doesn't half get up and down the field. Lets enjoy his time here because he looks like he could be a top rate player in the future.

The only thing in our favour is spurs have Hutton and corluka , but it's more likely they would sell one of those if walker proves his ability in the premiership.

Harry has made noises in the past about ash and downing , but I would not want to lose downing in any deal , if spurs were to part with walker they would probably looking at a straight swap for ash who with a year on his contract would be around £12m.

Maybe houllier has a couple of full backs lined up in the summer but sadly I'd be very surprised if spurs were to sell walker- although every player does have a price,walker has another 10 years ahead of him at the top level , neil warnock was pretty clear that spurs have absolutely no interest in selling him , similar to wilshere at bolton he is here to gain experience.

Neither are Hutton and Corluka either though.

[PeterWithe]

Blimey, I like Walker a lot but I wouldn't pay anywhere near £12m for him yet. Then again its not my money.

True, but they're not exactly well stocked in the right back area. Hutton's had a decent year but he's not rated and they tried to sell Corluka to Liverpool in January, and probably would have had Kelly not improved so much.

I can't see Spurs selling him at all.

They won't be next season

Agreed.......and swop him for Ashley ?. The kid is good but not that good and his positional play is still weak     

[PeterWithe]

Walker has now had a taste of regular PL football, he may very well force the issue if he's not going to be first choice there.

Walker on loan to us is a bit like our players out on loan. We would like most of them to do well as this will decide  that either  we sell them  for reasonable amount of money or they develop  so well that they are back in our squad and hopefully the first team. Either way we win. The other opyion is that they don't do too well and come back to us as a burden to deal with!

We are hoping that Carew and  Ireland will  be snapped up and the young ones will  come back better players.

Walker is not that good. He is just a little better than  our recent fullbacks. His defending and decision making is questionable. So I am not that bothered and I would not pay more than 5m for him.

[eastie]

Doesn't matter whether or not Carew is snapped up after his loan because his contract is finished anyway .Does anyone know how long luke has left on his deal ?

[Mazrim]

Mysteryman said that Walker wants to join us permanently and that all parties concerned are keen to make it happen. So we'll see.

[Chris Smith]

I can see Walker developing into a top class full back. He's still raw but he's got all the attributes, quick, strong, comfortable on the ball and seems to like getting stuck in. For all those reasons I'd be surprised if Spurs are willing to sell him but anything is possible with that barrow boy in charge.

[PeterWithe]

I'm sure it must be an optical illusion but he always seems a lot quicker when attacking then he is when defending, strrange that.
