Leo Walta

[Colin-swansea]

Triple signing on 23rd November 1989 by manager Ian Evans.​

Striker John Hughes(£70,000) previously a part time professional with Berwick Rangers, the signing was one third of a £260,000 package that included midfielder Keith Walker(£80,000) and striker Paul Chalmers(£110,000). A fourth player, Jack O’Donnell a part timer at Berwick Rangers changed his mind and went back to Scotland.​

Thank you Colin, your knowledge and information is excellent. I got the 300k part wrong though
I never remembered or had knowledge of Jack O'Donnell.
Walker was an absolute player for us and you can't forget about a player like him easily if you were around at the time.

i think i sen him play in midfield

we wouldnt know if someone is capable,unless theyve been tried huh?

I have no doubts the man himself could tell you that he was a central defender for all his career and you’d tell him he wasn’t.

Trouble is, he wouldn't because he wasn't!

I really hope people aren’t expecting too much imminently.

He hasn’t played for almost 3 months, has never played championship football before. It will take him at least 2 months to get him up to speed with the championship & fitness levels

Galbraith replacement for the summer. WE have plenty of games left for him to make the starting 11 on a regular basis. I think there's lots of similarities to how Ethan and Leo play in midfield. RB incoming in the summer transfer window, Galbraith sold for 10m including add ons

Just my off the cuff quick observation

Definitely played centre midfield for the 1st 12-18 months he was with us including the FA Cup game at home to Liverpool.

Didn’t realise all 3 of them had started the 0-0 at the Vetch though.

Can't say ive ever watched Walta but judging by his highlights and underlying numbers he seems a complete different player to Galbraith.

Most of his work comes in the final 3rd and behind the lines whereas Galbraith is best used deeper and dictating the game from there.

Don't let fact and truth get in the way.
Unfortunately we have a few who can't handle the truth but it's absolute fact that he came here as a central midfielder.

Fucking hell, I posted that I was happy to be proven wrong and shared all I could find on google, you dopey twat.

 

[Smurph]

You also posted this!

I'm fully aware of what I've posted, thanks for trying to help.

Not sure what's wrong with it, especially the last sentence.

I'm off to file my teeth.

Galbs would be double that fee. You don't get a player of his quality for £10m

If Keith Walker came here and started playing as a CM, but then went to CB…

Is he a CM still?

You could ask john Ford centre back or full back ?

No, he's retired!
