Welcome Kyle Walker

+ Big improvement on what we had (even if not difficult)
+ Pace will help protect us from counter attacks
+ Hasn't had an injury for over 2 years
+ Weakens a rival
+ Shows Spurs are still a selling club
+ Wages seem fair.

- Ludicrous fee, if reports are true
- Not really suited to the 'false FB' role
- He's 27 and once his pace goes he will be half the player
- Not great defensively.
- Will be afforded little patience from City fans aware of his stupid, ignorant anti-City fan outburst

Will get full support but I'm pretty mixed.

Spot on all this, very good assessment for on here.

Madrid had Bale and Ronaldo. It's not at all similar.

Poch fell out with Walker because Walker told him he wanted to leave and join City. De Gea didn't play the last few Utd games for the same reason.

You'd sell Walker, a £25mil player, for £50mil regardless

£25 million player?

Burnley just sold an average centre back to Everton for £30 million.

Walker is a team of the season player, best in the league his position and part of English football's best defence.

ADM was surplus after James joined. Walker is the best RB in the PL.

If Spurs had sold an unhappy Walker abroad that's one thing but no serious club sells the best X in the league to a direct rival.

So, no, I wouldn't have sold Walker. What's money? Football is about
 
He does come across really well in all the clips I've seen so far. Wasn't that excited about it yesterday, but I think he'll do well here.
 
Can those with their noses out of joint shut up. Wanted him or not he is a blue now and deserves to be unconditionally welcomed. I get any points about respect because that has to be earned but lets give him chance.
 
The £50 million is too much but what do Spurs do with it? Sign another Sissoko for £30 million and Janssen for £20 million - and that's last seasons prices. So Walker compared to what they might bring in with £50 million probably favours us.
