For me, there are a couple of 'truths' in the Walker situation. The first is that we need him in the coming season for his pace, muscle, and experience. We are likely to be spending and changing in other areas this summer, so there's probably no desire on our part for more change and to be spending in that area. The second is that even at the end of next season, Walker will be dropping too far if he goes to Sheffield United, not unless there is a huge drop off in form. Does the club want to give him a little reward and avoid the headache of replacing him, or does it stick to the terms of the current deal and resolve his future now?
