Kyle Walker signs two-year contract extension

Think this further enhances the position as to how we ‘plan’ these days.

He’ll be the main man for 2-3 seasons, and a younger ‘next’ Walker will come in over the next couple of windows as his long term successor.

Like we’ve done with the Silvas.

Very professional and slick.
 
He had a tough first half of last season but he came good towards the business end and his contract extension is a good move , no doubt his main asset is his recovery and pace hopefully he doesnt slow down until he is at least 33 years old , then he can bugger of back to Sheff.Utd :)
 
I’m convinced Walker will be used at centre back (in a back 3 or 4) in games more and more frequently.

If the rumoured signings of Cancelo and Angelino are true then it gives us the option to play 4-2-1-3 with two holding midfielders but the fullbacks bombing forward to create the width or to play as wingbacks in a 3-5-2 to give us the option of two strikers in some games.

Walker technically isn’t good enough to do either of those roles, hence the reasoning behind the slow transition to CB/RCB, especially as we try to protect his legs as he gets older.
 
He'll have his mad moments but generally I think he been absolutely essential to our successes and this will hopefully continue....without the mad moments !!
