    I wish he stayed at Sounders, but understand his desire to move to a more prestigious league. Think he would have done better for himself overall if he went to a mid-table team in the Bundesliga or Eredivisie for his long term development as a player if he were to move abroad. I'm afraid he's just going to be lost at a team like Spurs that have a pretty high turnover in players of late.

    Have to agree that this isn't a great move if he is looking for playing time, Walker is one of the better RBs in the Prem. Hopefully the kid is willing to train his arse off with little reward other than improving. Would expect a loan at some point (probably Jan. 2016 in the race for the Copa)

    He was loaned right back to Seattle for the rest of the MLS season. On paper, being behind Walker would be a concern, however, Walker has been a knucklehead both on and off the pitch and has struggled with injuries some. So there's room for Yedlin to dethrone him by being a better pro. If not, I won't be surprised to see him loaned back to MLS again at the start of next season. Big clubs seem to be taking this "investment" approach more and more in lieu of their academies without really having plans for the players they are buying other than loaning them out and selling them for a profit. Kinda like Chelsea and Romelu Lukaku.
