Ex-Spurs Player Kyle Walker

Will be pleased to see him back in the side
Yeah the fullbacks shined for for Poch at Southampton. So much so that one went to united for 30mil and the back up right back went for 16mil.
And Clyne is now in the England squad, and Bertrand is looking excellent under Koeman.
That system just suits those players. Hopefully Poch can get the best out of ours as well.
We miss him
Made a goal line clearance... That's about all I saw of him from the highlights.
Yeah, watched it as soon as I posted this.
My money says that we see him on the pitch for the 1st team in two weeks.
Before that, easily. Europa League in Turkey is a week away, he should at least make a sub app or possibly start for 1 half.
Cannot wait to see Walker in action tonight! Really hoping he gets a start...
I honestly feel that he could be a stand out player for us under Poch. He's had a long process coming back to fitness but he will have been working closely to Poch while on his way back to fitness. He is the ideal player for the system he wants and will give Lamela freedom too.
I seriously thing that him regaining fitness and coming back into the team will be better than any signing we will make in Jan. I might be being over optimistic but I think he could be the difference between us making Champs League positions, or finishing 7th - 10th as a lot of people are presuming.
Lets hope that he can stay fit.
ALL HAIL WALKER!

Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker has revealed that the low point for him during his recent injury spell was missing out on the World Cup.
Walker is preparing for a return to the Tottenham first team when the side takes on Besiktas in the Europa League this evening and his return is a welcome boost over a busy Christmas and New Year period.
Walker would have likely been included in Roy Hodgson’s squad for the tournament in Brazil, but instead the defender was forced to watch from afar.
“Missing the World Cup through injury was most definitely a low point for me,” said Walker.
“That was probably made worst by the fact I didn’t make it back in time for the start of the season which everybody thought I would do.”
The good news is that rather than dwell on that low point, Walker appears to be using it as inspiration to drive forward and regain some of his best form for Spurs.
Tottenham play plenty of games over the winter and Walker’s return gives Mauricio Pochettino plenty of different squad options such as being able to utilise Eric Dier as a centre-back.
“That was a big low, but you have to move on. I’ve got a wise old head on my shoulders now.”
“I want to dig deep and start playing games and winning trophies now.”
Walker has lost his place at international level with Southampton’s Nathaniel Clyne currently holding that spot under Roy Hodgson.

Walker was one of if not the most consistant player before his injury, Eriksen was good every game or two but Walker was nearly always putting in 7/10 performances minimum only Lloris was at that level IMO. Might take him a little while to get going but glad to see him back.
The back four and keeper has huge potential now with Davies settling in and Fazio growing with each performance, I really hope Kyle stays fit
Yeh lets hope, Lloris, Walker, Fazio, Verts, Davies looks good with Vorm, Yedlin, Kaboul, Dier, Rose as back up, we might actually be sorted defensively.
He was also ever present. Says in his interview he racked up over 150 games in 3 seasons and 97apps out of 101 Spurs games.
He's a joker and a big character in the dressing room. He says himself that he is much more mature and wiser down to the lay off, and he also has watched and analysed lots of football, something he never used to do.
If you look at that interview you can actually sense a more serene, mature person.
He only had 67 mins that game and is far from match fit, so we shouldn't expect miracles from him yet. The last thing that should happen is that we rush him straight back into the EPL, he has a few torrid episodes, ripped apart by the press and some fans and his confidence suffers.
Great to see him even kicking a ball.
