It's his energy and work rate which are his best attributes. There were times yesterday when we were pushing for the winner that Walker was sprinting 30 yards across the pitch to help stop the counter attack.

He'd been getting up and down all day, I've no idea where he gets his energy from, but I like it.

Needs to improve his crossing though!

In fairness jj it was very windy and that probably affected his crossing yesterday, very positive player and will replace glen Johnson in the England team as a regular starter very soon I feel, I expect him to play well against Denmark on weds night.

He's a good player but he still needs to improve his defending, If he's been loaned with an option to buy then surely the price has been agreed?

He's not been loaned with an option to buy- he's been
loaned to gain experience in the premiership, no option to buy!

Redknapp said how highly he rates him when he loaned him to us and he wants to see how he goes at this level, I expect him to be a spurs regular next season unfortunately .

Dave seems to think that's not the case, I guess we'll have to wait and see

He’ll improve all round with the more games he plays.

But you have to say that he’s genuinely exciting when he picks up the ball and thinks “nuts to this for a game of soldiers” and steams towards goal at 100mph. His crossing was poor yesterday, but you cannot knock his confidence.  His positioning could improve defensively, but he looks a tall lad and his pace will get him out of trouble.

MM reckons he wants to stay at B6.

He may well want to stay but if Spurs want £7-£10m or a swop for Ashley then he should go back as he isnt worth that, there are other full backs around ie Clyne @ Palace,etc

I'd love him to stay here and I believe he's enjoying his time here ,if we did tempt them to sell though it will take serious money , I would be amazed if he became available at less than £10m.

When you look at the crazy money glen Johnson has twice gone for , a young England right back with his whole career ahead would not come cheaply, especially in today's Market.

I cant see Randy/GED paying that much prices are normaly a bit cheaper in the summer when we will need a left back, pay the money for Bradley and get a new goalie and thats just for starters...I would pay £5m max

Agree. £10million? Straight swap for Young? Fuck me! I know the market has gone mental but anyone who thinks and is willing to pay that has been on crack. He is after all a somewhat defensively suspect albeit promising right back.

They reportedly paid between varied estimates of £8m to £11m for him and naughton at the time from Sheffield utd , as an inexperienced full back pairing , which raised eyebrows at the time.

They paid £8m for both of them.

£5m of which was for Naughton.

Harry won't give him up on the cheap, especially to us as he hates us, I think he will sign up for us as we have shown faith in him.

Yes £8m rising to £11m with add ons apparently , which seemed incredible considering how little that had played at the time , although I guess similar could be said of gareth bale as well.

Does anyone know how long luke young has left on his contract?
