Never really got a look in at Chelsea, though was involved in 10 games last season and seemed highly rated by some. Be interesting to see what he can do now if he gets regular football. For the price (especially in this market) it actually seems like a potentially decent deal, though damning for Chelsea who, according to ESPN, etc were reluctant to let him go. I also missed Jack Cork moving to Burnley for £10m. He's a pretty decent player - they've got a few good options in that part of the pitch now and Im surprised Swansea let him go.

At 35 mil he's a bargain, one of the best defenders in the world and at least 4 good season left in him. Id love to take him to Chelsea (not that we need him but with Conte in charge), but I'm surprised City haven't snapped him up considering their very shaky at the back.

Spurs laughing all the way to the bank with that 50 million for Walker think if there centre half pairing can stay fit along with Ali and Kane they could really get over the line this year pending how they settle in Wembley.
