Higuain would be the perfect striker for us IMO but it's just very unlikely that he would be interested in joining us.
Would be nice if we could do a deal that comprised of Walker and some cash. I know Walker and has great pace and a good engine and is young so in theory at least has time to improve but sadly he does seem to lack a footballing brain that suggests he will struggle to.
Nonetheless Real do still appear to hold an interest and lets be fair with Arbeloa as a right back you can see why they would be looking at options.
To me that kind of deal would get rid of a weakness in the team at the same time as strengthening another whilst not costing so much that it inhibits cash for strengthening other areas
I fully agree with your post above, and welcome by the way .
In addition to your points, I stillfeelhope we have an ally with VDV and he tells ex team mates what a great club Spurs is and that it's worthwhile playing here.

Have I missed something? Is Walker linked with Real Madrid?
He has been recently although the £15 mill price tag speculated sounds more than optimistic to me

To me too. Is he really good enough for Madrid? Surely not. He's young and if he finds last year's form then maybe, he was the best right back in the league last year. This year's form then no way. I don't watch Madrid enough but I do know Ramos is now a centre back. For a guy that I thought was better going forward than defending isn't he more suited to being the right back as long as they find a quality centre back?
I'm not going to do it to myself...
Spurs "only" have to fight off Anzhi, PSG, Milan, Juve, ManC, Chelski - and a few more - for his signature...
It's not that bad though because those clubs will be fighting over the likes of Falcao, Neymar and Cavani, maybe Tevez. Juve have agreed a deal with Llorente, I doubt he'd want to go from competing with Benzema for a starting place to competing with Ibra at PSG, or against the likes of Tevez and Aguero at City. Milan no longer seem so keen to be in the market for big priced players.
If he does leave there will be competition for sure and Real themselves will be looking for a replacement but because there are a number of strikers likely to be targets in summer we should have a better chance
I like your optimism : )
