When they were younger at Sheff Utd it was Naughton who was rated more highly.
How interesting, Well i am definitely all for it - do you reckon they have the same sort of attributes, having both stemmed from Sheff UTD?
He is right, Naughton was much more highly rated.. Everton, ourselves and Spurs all wanted him.. In end Walker got about 3 games towards the end of one season (after coming back from Northampton on loan) and was more of a makeweight in the deal for Naughton to Spurs (if i remember correctly Everton joint bid for Naughton & Walker but failed, Spurs offered 2mil more)
Naughton swapped to left back when Walker made his debut for Sheff Utd at right back
They both have gone out on loan and also loan to smaller clubs:-
Walker to Q.P.R (for half season) and done really well, and then to us (half season) and again very well which broke him through at Spurs, because of all the rave reviews he got at QPR and Villa. He previously on loan at Northampton Town when at Sheff Utd
Naughton got whole season loan (Leicester, very good reviews for him) at same time as Walker to Q.P.R. and last season (Norwich - for whole season, again good reviews) He previously on loan at Gretna when at Sheff Utd
If Walker did not go to us on loan he probably still be where Naughton is now and still be trying to impress and make it with Spurs.
Naughton is very fast, tackles better than Walker, Likes to get forward and has a very long throw similar to Lichaj
