Ahead of the curve.
He's improved massively this season. Good thing too.
Ahead of the curve.
He hasn't really, he's just had a chance to play consistent games. People expect the finished article at 19 and was unfairly written off as a joke, well we can see who the joke is on now.
Maybe he has and maybe he hasn't, personally I think if we hadn't had Benny at the club then he could've been first choice from the end of 10/11 onwards. The point is only a small minority of fans saw his quality from the beginning whereas the rest wrote him off like the typical modern day football fan.
There's a difference between thinking he's not as good currently as a very good and experienced left back and thinking he's completely brick.
He's only a much improved player because it suits you(after you'd written him off). He was putting in impressive performances two seasons ago. The problem was last season, after only the odd sub appearance here and there, he was asked to start the final four games for the injured BAE, he looked understandably rusty and put in a silly challenge at Villa Park where he was just desperate to impress. Spurs fans threw a hissy, blamed him for us not winning and never wanted to see him again.
And right on cue, you confirm that with your last line.
Two games is not enough to make any conclusive statements about a player. Overall his Spurs performances have been average. I haven't seen enough of Sunderland to say if he really is as good as they think or if it's just his attacking play making him a shining light in a brick team.
Stupid enough to offer 8 million for their player of the season thus far?
:-k
He has been their best player, why sell him when we would have to buy another left back for around that price anyway
Based on what?
There is. Rose is a much improved player, not sure i would like him as a starting left back yet though. Young players are rarely consistent. Walker would likely have had an easier time if he could have been rotated with a more experienced player when his form dropped.
Though you could also argue that young players might learn that consistency by battling through the bad form they have. Though the team and fans would have to understand that if that is how we go.
He still has a rashness about him that will not go down well, hopefully he can get rid of it before he gets sent off again.
