Kyle Walker.
« on: February 13, 2011, 08:50:44 PM »
Anyone else pleasantly surprised by what we've seen from him so far?

Must say I was expecting a car crash straight from the Glen Johnson defensive manual but he's generally been o.k in the games I've seen in that respect.

Obviously knows how to get forward although he does have the infuriating tendency to have a good 40 yard run down the wing and then mess it all up by skying the ball into the stands when he crosses.

Still if Spurs only want 5m for him, I'd pay it as he can only improve. Thank Luke Young for his service and let him go back to London, have Lichaj as back up and I'd be quite happy to go with that for next season.

I think he has been exellent. I can't see Spudz only looking for 5 million for him though. Double that more like.
If so, snap him up.

If Spurs want any more than £5m tell them to take him back.........You cant be serious about paying £10m for him

I suppose what could help us is Spurs have Hutton or Corluka in that position. If they want to keep Walker, then sign either of them.

Spurs have Kyle Naughton aswell, who is supposed to be better than Walker, so it is actually possible they let him go.

Can you see them only wanting 5 mill for him ?
The usually ask for and get top dollar for anyone the are selling. Cute feckers them lot.
I'd be delighted if they only want 5 mill for him but I doubt it. His call up for England wont help.

If they want more than 5m I think we should look elsewhere. Still not sure of him defensively.

He's our most exciting player, which says alot for a rookie right back

He is the only young lad getting a look in at the moment. Fonz, Bannan, Delph and Albrighton are all exciting but are no where to be seen.

Agree. I'd like to see Albrighton and Bannan get a go as well though I can see the logic of Hotlips not wanting to risk Albrighton in front of a marauding full back like Walker.

The jury is out.  Love him when he goes forward (until he tries to cross) but has a lot to learn defensively.  Overall I'd probably say he'll make it but time will tell.

Not suprised at all.  Shame we didnt sort a permanent deal at the end of loan when we got him.  Time on his side and plenty of potential.

I can see him playing in midfield, out wide in the future. He can beat a player, and runs at goal as good as anyone I have seen in a Villa shirt this season. His defending has been a bit suspect once or twice but he is young and will improve. His best attribute imo is being on the ball and going forward. If Spuds will sell we should buy. Hopefully they are in a hurry for Chumps League perfection and to fund that they may need to sell one or two 'maybe' players. He fits in well with our new, young generation. I would risk more than 5m but less than 10m. But as I earn under 25k a year it definately is not my money! Might make my season ticket go up mind. Sod it, 5m and no more!
