Walker isn't better than Seamus.
But, he is England's first choice full-back and has been superb in the last two seasons. He's also only 26.
So, £60m - in this current market, to a top-four (for Spurs) rival - makes sense.

Thing is though... Can we?
All of those keepers are proven in the Prem and proven to be solid.
I don't want Hart really, but the other two I'd take without even thinking about it.
People bang on about Pickford, and he has had a great season, but he's in no way proven himself just yet (and I'd be fully behind Pickford been our priority target btw).
Those other keepers are realistically - along with probably Heaton - the only goalkeepers currently in the Prem who would guarantee an improvement on what we have and would be 'available' to us.
Looking further afield, there's maybe the likes of some of the German keepers (who are ALL prone to massive cock ups as well btw) but other than that I can't think of many from Europe I'd be jumping to sign. Maybe someone like Rui Patricio would be a good shout - as a realistic option - or even Bernd Leno, though he's had a crap season at Leverkusen (so by the logic people are applying to Forster, we shouldn't be going anywhere near him...)
..I can remember us being on the verge of signing Walker when he was at Sheffield United.

Nah, weirdly we wanted Kyle Naughton mate. But Spurs wanted both so they went there.
Only Moyes would have wanted Naughton over Walker! SAKE!
Hmm... I'm sure Rom is a home grown player which is effectively the same.

..your memory is better than mine. It was Naughton but I thought we turned our attention to Walker but you'll be right.

My main question on this is how the hell a 23 year old is playing for the Under 21's!!?
I think they are allowed 2 players overage . James Milner done it for about 15 years
Yes Everton, splash that cash and get this kid sorted

Bloody hell, you'd pick like Alan Shearer and Peter Shilton wouldn't you?
Basically, players that were 21 or younger when the qualifying campaign started are allowed to play in the tournament. Fair if you think about it.
Looks like it's going to be Picko then.
