Best RB and LB we've had since the Premier League startedWe're going to miss him and/or Rose so much when they're gone. Will be very difficult to eventually replace.

2 words. Fat. Paycheck.I don't see why we should be thinking about that just yet. Both love the club, have recently signed new contracts, have improved tenfold in the last 2 seasons, and best of all are only 26 year's old.
No reason why they shouldn't be with us for another 5 years.
You think we'll sell them?2 words. Fat. Paycheck.

Not even a talking point on match of the day, ridiculous really.

We haven't sold a first-team player since 2013, despite promises from the likes of @yankspurs who swear every couple of months that all our players are going to leave.4 words. Carrick. Modric. Berbatov. Bale
I bloody hope youre right mateWe haven't sold a first-team player since 2013, despite promises from the likes of @yankspurs who swear every couple of months that all our players are going to leave.
With the new TV money, we have no need to ever sell our best players.
Who would even want Rose and Walker? We don't sell to domestic rivals anymore and I doubt any big foreign club would want them.
Totally agreed, for me we have the best RB & LB in the PL.Walker is absolute quality
Just wanted to add that
It does when he compares it to Dembele's eye gouge.
It wasn't an eye gouge though, was it? Dembele's hand didn't touch Costa's eye and Costa reacted by grabbing the other side of his face. There was less aggression in it than the time Torres scratched Vertonghen's face, and was completely let off for that.
As for Taylor, sure he probably didn't intend to kick Walker in the face, but he went in with his foot up at head height and caught him just above the eye. A couple of centimetres lower and he could have had his eye out. It was reckless and dangerous and should have been punished with a straight red card and a three match ban for violent conduct/endangering an opponent.

Either way the intent was different, that's the point.
Using excessive force is when a player exceeds the necessary use of force and endangers the safety of an opponent and must be sent off
The rules don't mention intent.
You've lost me.
Dembele intended to do what he did, but there was very little chance of him injuring Costa, yet he ended up with a six game ban. In fact the punishment he received suggests the authorities didn't even look at it properly.
Taylor didn't intend to kick Walker in the face, but it was reckless and could have caused serious permanent damage which could have threatened Walker's career, yet he received no punishment at all.
The laws of the game don't state that there has to be intent when administering punishment to players, instead it depends on whether excessive force was used and an opponent's safety was endangered. Ergo the punishments received by Dembele and Taylor are completely skewed.
