I think he will go Liverpool although Spurs would be the better more sensible move. Pick is a very good full back coach.

I can't understand why any young player would go to Liverpool over us. Or any of the big clubs tbh. Weve had young player of the year 5 out of the last 6 seasons and proven we develop them.

Or can go to Chelsea, Man U or Man City and rot. Arsenal is probably the only sensible alternative, but who would want to walk into that shitstorm?

Statements like this just doesn't sit well with me...okay we are a progressive club with a super manager, a new stadium about doing, nonetheless they're other great clubs and if a player chose another over us, they might view things differently.

Disagree. Unless your some wonderkid, you go to those clubs aged 25/26 after youve established yourself

The thing is these kids are very good otherwise the big clubs wouldn't be after them. They have been surrounded by people their whole lives (agents, friends, family) telling them how good they are. They think they will make it. Even if they don't with chelsea they will likely get a decent move and be quids in. If they don't make it they are set for life. Bostock etc... must think why didn't i go to chelsea or city and get £30k a week?

If he chooses Liverpool over us I don't think you can just put this one down to money. We will have Rose and Davies ahead of him, whereas Liverpool have a big hole to fill in that position.

I'd love us to sign him but I'd totally understand if he signed for them.

Think our squad has enough young talent we need to strengthen with experience so that we can announce ourselves in Europe next season can't afford to not make knock out stage again. This season we were awful in champions league at times looked like it was a different team altogether. Guys like Lamela and Toby who've played regular champions league football need to influence the lesser experienced guys.

Players and managers all have egos. They all believe they can succeed.
I get more upset when players go to those clubs and succeed.
Who gives a shit if City want to spunk millions on Delph, Sinclair and Rodwell only for them to end up gobsbite.
I'd laugh my considerable manboobs clean off if Walker went there and came to the very real conclusion he looks good in our team because it's a team, not an assembly of over priced, under coached mercenaries.

And Chelsea need to be investigated on two fronts.

1) Number of players bought and loaned out (especially as they're ALWAYS wanted by their nearest rivals)

2) The unreasonable funds received for bang average players (fiddling FFP IMO)

Walker still has his mind fuck moments and expects his pace to rescue him.Take the money and run Spurs.

He's a terrific prospect and very soon he'll be one of the best left backs in Europe but he's not there yet. Danny Rose is already one of the best left backs in Europe and we have great cover in Davies. For a lot of money he either needs to reinvent himself as a great left winger or we fear Rose might quit. I'm more worried about the right back position to be be honest.

If rose or davies gets injured early on next season we might struggle. Poch doesn't like playing the fullbacks twice in the week as he likes them fresh and working hard. If walker goes then i would like to see us getting another right back. We would then have trippier, kwp and another.
We should always look to bring in quality youngsters. Many wont fullfill their promise but then you get the alli's and bales that make it worthwhile.

And where their leader got his money from?
