Basically is Walker 2.0.
Fucks something up, is fast enough to reclaim the ball.
which is Glen Johnson 3.0
Bit harsh on Walker that, I know who I'd rather have.
Kyle Naughton?
I'm sure this has already been posted, but who cares!
It's certainly preferable to an RB that just fucks stuff up.
Well we could do with him now. Imo just what we need at this moment in time. Would balance out the team and give the opposition much more to worry about than just Rose coming down their right.
He's young and far from the finished article; however, I can see him roasting a few LB's in this league. You just cannot stop pace like that and we need it.

I've always wondered about doing this. By far his most valuable contribution is defensively. Why not just play him there?
Wondered it myself as well. Has the pace to make the run in behind but also tracks back well.
Just lacks that ability in the air if balls are pumped into the far post.
Great vid, never seen Hazard kept quiet like that. Couldn't get past him, and if he did he couldn't accelerate away without Yedlin recovering instantly.
I was actually hoping that video would have more of his defensive highlights, I remember when watching the game live there were far more examples of him stopping Hazard.
This summer Tottenham Hotspur signed 21 year old Seattle Sounders and USA star DeAndre Yedlin.
The young Seattle Sounders full back played 120 minutes in last night’s 3-1 US Open Cup Final win over Philadelphia Union.
Currently on loan in Seattle until January or June, DeAndre Yedlin showed super speed to halt a Union one-on-one opportunity.
Yedlin showed bionic pace to catch up with the striker and calmly nicked the ball off him in an excellent piece of covering.
Who does he think he is? Ledley King?[/QUOTE]
I was down there last night. Lovely night outside of that wretched result. Yedlin's pace is out of this world. But he still needs to improve in a big way on the 1 v 1 defending front and far from a finished product.

Alas, when we first signed this lad, I was perfectly contented to wait until January (or beyond) to bring him in.
Suppose it's spursy that Walker got injured immediately afterwards/around the same time.
Should be very very interesting to see how Yedlin pushes for the RB spot in January/February considering...
And almost as interesting will be seeing how many Americans flood to the forum when that happens.

It's better without the first bit of him giving up the ball.
The natural ability is obviously there. He'll need lots of coaching and time to develop. Just like Dier, when you can get a young talented inexperienced player it is a punt because you don't know how they'll develop in a substantially tougher league. Considering both cost under £5m there is almost no losing the punt, even if either doesn't work out it is unlikely we won't be able to recoup their small transfer fees.
The gamble on Dier seems to be successful so far, he has a long way to go but he has shown the ability to be a high level player in a couple of season. Hopefully the same is true of Yedlin. If not, it really isn't a big deal considering the price. It was worth the risk for a player of his natural ability.
