Walker is a smart chap. Very in tune to what "old school fans" many of whom we have here love hearing.
When asked about what he'll bring to the team, he gave the standard answer English fans love hearing and believe in "I'm a defender first."
I bet that got many of our fans who love to repeat that phrase dancing... You hear this a lot: "can't we just get a proper defender?" On this site and on talking head shows.
That comment was meant to appease those guys. But once the questions got really technical like what part of Zaba's game do you intend to incorporate?" His answer was telling... He wanted to emulate Zaba's timing on his runs. Coz with his natural speed, if he can work on his timing, he'll practically be a faster Dani Alves with a poorer cross. And that isn't bad.
That answer left me confident we got the right guy, the right fit, And the right man for the job. A little expensive, but the right guy :)
I'm officially on the Walker team. Fuck Semedo!
