I hope there's a back-up plan, because that is not happening
You are as optimistic as the Paranoid Android who shares your name!
IMO Walker might be the first domino that eventually sees Spurs fall back down to earth, not that I particularly dislike them or want it to happen.
They have potentially sleepwalked into a crisis with their wage bill, paying their players less than 50% what their competitors do, and asking for loyalty that's not actually been repaid with trophies yet.
If they want to keep this team together they're going to need to find another ~£40m/year for wages, and when building an £800m (and increasing) stadium, that's going to be near impossible.
Danny Rose said on the radio a few weeks ago that they needed a marquee signing to make another step up, but there's been no sign of one, not even a hint. The most ambitious signing on the cards seems to be Barkley if Everton let him go.
The players will be looking at clubs like us, and Chelsea, spending heavily to improve from strong bases, and think, "If I go there, I might have a better chance at a trophy, but if not at least I'll definitely get paid properly."
