Kyle Naughton was as good as we've had recently at left back despite right back being his best position. Still can't believe we sold both of the best fullbacks we've had at the same time. As a pair I would rate him and Walker as good as Badger and Hemsley.
But we expected to have Walker with us on loan for a full season. Then that nice Mr.Redknapp recalled him at the eleventh hour of the January transfer window, leaving us no time to get a replacement. Did Redknapp actually play Walker in the first team that season? I think he was just used to sit on the bench, at best.
Of course, some will say we were stupid to agree to a recall clause in the first place, but we've no idea what reassurances were given verbally behind the scenes.
[I love watching Walker playing for Spurs, and England - I still regard him as "one of ours", as I do Jags, though he wasn't born in Sheffield of course.]
On 22 July 2009, Walker left Sheffield United to join Tottenham Hotspur along with fellow defender Kyle Naughton for a combined fee of £9m, but was loaned back to the Yorkshire club for the duration of the 2009–10 season as part of the deal.[10] Whilst at Bramall Lane he was virtually ever present at right back for the first half of the season but was unexpectedly recalled back to Spurs on 1 February 2010, just before the close of the January 2010 transfer window, as cover for Alan Hutton who was loaned out to Sunderland earlier the same day.[11] Walker made his debut for Tottenham on Saturday 27 March 2010, in a 2–0 victory over Portsmouth.[12]
