Lets see if he gets away with blatantly pushing players now he plays for us.

He won't,he is in for a shock
I agree about Alderweireld, he's been absolute class this season (though you could argue Vertonghen has shaded him) and would walk into most top teams, including our own next to Stones or Vinny.
There's two problems that make it impossible, especially now:
1. Levy won't want to ship two in one window.
2. He's even less likely to let two go to one single title rival.
Walker was always on his way out, little Spuds could do to hide it, now it's confirmed. Alderweireld though, if push comes to shove I could see them renegotiating his contract, even if it resulted in a squad-wide wage restructure it's preferable than letting all your best players go.
Feel almost exactly the same. Walker is an ass and some of his sour grapes comments about City in the past make him difficult to like. But, like Samir, his quality is undeniable and he's proven on exactly the stage we need it.

Very true.
Just had a look on the Spurs forum and the majority want him to stay, which is a good sign.
With that new stadium though is it financially viable to do so?
Once one player gets a significant raise the rest will follow.
The only way I see us getting Alderweireld is if we offered him an unrefusable offer which resulted in him forcing through a move.

I think the same, hes comes across as such a twat, but hopefully we can get over it aha
Sorry can't agree with you there. Bellerin is terribly overrated and think most people are beginning to see it.
I agree. Popular opinion is that he is quality, after watching him a few times I realized how overrated he really is. Didn't really stand out much, nothing too special other than his pace. Walker is the much better buy. A massive, massive improvement for our squad.

How come?
I wasn't too eager for him at first for footballing reasons but I've seen so many people say this. I'm aware that he's apparently said something shitty about us (can't find specifically what, though) and I'm wondering if that's the underlying issue or if there's anything more to it.
I must confess that I haven't been paying particularly close attention to other teams this season, so my opinion was predominately based on his glowing reputation from last season.
I know I will be denounced for caring about how much we pay for players, but I will be immensely disappointed if we are paying Spurs over £35m for Walker. He's simply not that good.

He's a character on the pitch, and that's what we need. Too many spineless players who go missing. This lad stands up and is counted for.

People doubting Walker's ability need only look at the rags game last night. Trippier, who many here would have back, was struggling to keep tabs on a mediocre player like Martial. Walker came on and put him in his pocket, making 2 key passes in his ten minutes too.
Right, but I think it's already happened. Alderweireld, and Walker for that matter, were on south of £100,000 p/w which is much less than they could get guaranteed elsewhere.
I think a major wage restructure is inevitable at Spuds as their young prospects become stars and they start cementing themselves as a top four team. Its obviously too late to hold on to Walker, he's ours now confirmed, but letting Alderweireld go would show a massive darth of ambition and you'd have to wonder if players like Alli would fancy their chances of getting a trophy at that rate.
If he pushes to the exit, I could see Levy trying to ship him to Madrid or the like instead.
He's a bit of an ass in general mate, fouls a lot, rants at the ref, gets away with it because he's been with Spuds.
But yes, he made a stupid comment on Twitter about us a few years ago. Maybe someone will find it.

If we pay £35 mil think we have done oK, Bellerin would be at least £50mil,think hell end up at Barcelona anyway. But I agree with others Walker has been the better player this season.
