    Fantastic prospect, still has a bit to learn defensively but no doubt he's one for the long-term. Will have a bit of competition from a few of the Liverpool youngsters for the England RB slot, but he looks the best out of all them.

    From his interview yesterday and the way he spoke gave the impression of a confident young man.

    Also gives us the option to do a Bale with him. wouldnt mind seeing him play on the Right wing ahead of Corluka for the bigger games. Hes a big powerful pacey lad, excellent going forward and would provide good cover For corluka aswell

    Think we would be better off developing him as a right back and getting a settled and strong back 4 together. He looks the real deal and will only come on with more games. Him and Rose as long term full backs IMO.

    Love the confidence he shows. One quibble; what the hell was he at for the Arsenal goal. He was isolated, there's no doubt that Lennon works harder tracking back than any other rm, but he was too far from the endline, not running toward the crosser, and he stood with his hands behind his back! I really rate him, but are these lads being coached to improve. Similarly, Bale was strange yesterday. Everytime he was on the ball he ripped Arsenal up, but he spent long periods standing around, wasn't showing movement to offer BAE an outball, and didn't cover Sagna as well as he should. One time Parker did 2.5 360 degree turns waiting for someone to show for him, and Bale was nowhere to be seen. We have as almost much talent as Chelsea, but are younger players improving in their reading of the game, their ability to dominate? I'm not sure. This might sound stupid, but already looking at Parker, I see him as a coach. He sees the game very well, obviously a really intelligent player. He can bring Sandro, Lennon, Bale and even Thudd to the next level by being our midfield general. He looks like he was born to play for Spurs. Imagine if he had been around last year, or for that matter in 1982 or 1987.
    Totally agree about Rose. He is looking the real deal for lb, and will put pressure on BAE, a good thing.

    I agree that Walker was in a bad position for the Arsenal goal (should have been closer to the line) but he wasn't the only one. There were 3 free Arsenal players behind him. It was bad defending all round, so blaming someone on their own is a bit unfair.

    Plus, he made up for it anyway :)

    For me VDV was to blame for the goal! Lazy covering as usual. I think he may turn into an impact sub the way he is going....

    Walker offers so much more than Charlie. Re keeping him right back - i wholeheartedly agree we need a settled and solid back four!

    VDV wasn't lazy he just isn't fast I think I could probably out run him.

    I would need to see it again but at the time i thought he showed him down the wing far too easy. Song made it to the position the cross was put into with absolutely no pressure from VDV at all. He is slow tho.

    agreed that vdv was no where to be seen - well he was seen spluttering and wheezing when tracking back.

    playing him on the wing wont work i dont think - he is a great scorer of goals and behind the front man is where he is best.

    lennon for me is our right winger and thats the end of it.

    vdv and defoe to take turns at parterning ade

    Not at the moment he isnt. He's been very very poor since he had the falling outs with Redknapp last season. And he's just recovering from injury having not felt good in the first half against rovers last week.

    Not to mention his final ball is appalling and has never improved. I'm not sure if we'll see him back to his top form of a few seasons ago again at spurs, judging by how things developed the second half of last season.

    Certainly could be a great player, occasionally has the positional sense of a badger on a motorway but hopefully he will continue to learn. Hope King retires and takes up a coaching role, surely he can pass on some great knowledge, then again, i thought Les would have taught Defoe how to stay onside as well and that didnt happen.

    Yep, Kyle gets caught out by some players but is still learning.
    By jaysus, he is endlessly better than Hutton though.
    How did we get $4m for him. Poor Villa!
    Are you Nethercott in disguise!

    Les is too busy chasing the players' WAGS and hammering the entertainment bar tab at the Lane to teach anyone :)

    Signs new contract runs until 2017. That's good from Levy :)

    From the horses mouth. Why can't more of our players talk like this?

    @kyle28walker: Happy to have just signed a contract extension. My future is at the club and I believe we have big things 2 come. thanks for the tweets#COYS

    Great news. Was kind of worried there'd be a big bid in for him this summer.

    Just saw the story on SSN

    Looks like we have the best RB in the country on our books for another 5 years. Great result.

    Leave poor Stu outta this, he's still getting over the miss that cost us the FA cup in 95. :P

    Tramezzani was even worse than him and thats saying something.

    According to ben Pearce he's playing with a broken toe but he's getting an injection and will play at the weekend!

    I doubt Modric would?

    Probably a bit harsh...... but feck it!
    If the needle is good enough for Ledley, it's good enough for Kyle!
    Picking up the mantle of becoming a Spurs legend :)
    These are the type of people we want playing for us at the Lane.
    I have been to many grounds but every time is a special occassion at the Lane, even when we lose.
    The atmosphere gives you goose bumps.
    In my opinion, best ground in the PL with St. James's Park second.
    Haven't been to the Potters? Maybe, joint second!

    Given a disgraceful amount of abuse by some over the last few weeks. Most are now saying he was a one season wonder, not for me. He's still an excellent full back in the makings,and I really hope he gets his head down, works hard and things turn around for him. COYS

    I agree. He has fantastic potential but he let Mata's great game get to him too much and it cost him.

    He has been very poor so far this season, i hope someone gives him a kick up the hole and he gets back to his flying ways of last season!

    This is all he needs i think, probably has switched off a little bit after having such a good year last year, goes from being on loan at villa, to first team at spurs and england regular and thinks "iv made it" and stops working that little bit.

    Im hoping his recent poor form is just a youth related blip and not a case that he's not getting on with AVB, whether that be a personality issue or just not understanding how he's expected to play.

    Has had a rough time at different stages this season but has been quite strong in the last 6 weeks or so and again tonight.

    See him just whizz past Lennon who was flying at the time, tonight. I agree he could become a great player for us in the not too distant future.

    In the 1st half he was the only one I could see dragging the team forward. It's annoying because he has the potential to be immense.

    Had a good game by all means, a few little sloppy passes, and lucky Ramires fell flat on his face, also should have done better when he cut in for that shot on his left. He looked like he was on a mission to make ammends for the home fixture and he was the reason Chelsea were having more joy down our left.

    Has an awful lot of work ahead of him this summer. Next season is make or break for him in my eyes. We've only ever seen rare glimpses of his ability. The Chelsea match being one. As a whole this season I've been disappointed.

    Maybe he should spend a little less time on his hair.

    A much improved player lately it has to be said.
