Regarding that Walker bit, please God don't let it be true.
I love this fella, and he's been one of my favs. Would be really sad to see him end up like that.
Also, if true, I wonder if this is related to Yedlin's purchase too?
Damn you, Timmy.

That would be gutting regarding Walker, I really hope it's bollox, but who would make that up? A gooner troll maybe, but, still...Worrying.
Regarding the other players that might go, it looks pretty likely that someone decent is going to end up shipping out, maybe two or three decent players. Townsend is the only one that worries me because he could develop into an outstanding player. Paulinho gets too much abuse on here, but he isnt going to develop lots more, so at least if he went it's not such a big loss.
Whatever happens, whoever ends up going, the great thing is that we have other class players ready to step in and take their place, even if we don't sign anyone else. The only losses that would hurt us this season are if Ade, Verts or Hugo left without suitable replacement, and I don't see any of those occuring.

Agree entirely. I like the mention of him as I can't imagine a better option in the future, as he'd have a unique perspective being English but familiar with moving to the Prem from abroad, and would also have several years experience with Spurs by that point.
Would love to see him stay and make a career out of Spurs. He couldn't have dreamed a better start, and at this point has plenty of time to establish himself as a bonafide undisputed legend.
What!?
@TalkingTHFC: The Sun report Tottenham will offer Michael Dawson to QPR as part of a deal to sign striker Loic Remy. #THFC

if we wanted to showcase to Remy what life with us could be like, today was definitely a success.
Made his Sporting debut at RB and played some games there. I think he's look very solid there in our first two games and should start ahead of Naughton until Walker returns.
But the club brought him in as a CB. That is where his future lies and he is best suited. His purchase certainly wasn't a sign that Walker may have long term injury concerns.
In a interview on the spurs site last week he said he played alot at rb and he was comfortable there
I agree with everything you have said. I think you are completely right, and I am somewhat playing devils advocate, but the second part is all assumptions. We have no real definite updates on Walker and the club does and we dont know exactly what the plans are for Dier. You are 99% likely right, but if Dier continues his RB form and builds on it, he is a very suitable RB.
I can answer this.
Someone who goes on to internet message boards and try's to claim they have an inside knowledge of the going on of their respective football clubs based on nothing more then what they read on News Now and their own intuition. This one ITK has moved away from transfer knowledge and created a fabricated story of a serious injury to a player (which can not be verified and won't be) therefore allowing him the luxury of not being able to he proved wrong. Sprinkle a little smearing of an already unpopular ex-manager and you have your BS story so they guys on Spurs Community can treat you like some kind of oracle.
Good news for the Walker fans perturbed by the Ali Z news, another ITKer on SC named "rebrab":
"Yeah... That last piece is about as true as Lascelles having signed for us.
He's wrong with that one.
Walker will be back by Woolwich."
The Lascelles dig is spot on. Guy has been preaching he was ours since early June. Like I said, Ali Z has been a trainwreck this summer.
I agree with JDK, if this were even remotely true we'd be much more concerned than indicated by our actions of the summer of yet.

Fuck it. No further transfers needed. #wearegonnawintheleague
