Kyle Naughton arrived at Spurs along with Kyle Walker in July 2009 but his progression hasn’t mirrored that of his former Sheffield United team mate. While Walker has made the right back position his own, Naughton has had to make do with a series of loan spells and a stint covering the left back position which led only to widespread criticism.
With Ryan Fredericks coming along nicely and Adam Smith impressing while out on loan, Naughton now has plenty of competition on either side of defence and all that could lead to a move away from the club in the January transfer window.
It’s claimed that Aston Villa are in pole position if Spurs decide that Naughton is surplus to requirements this month. Villains’ boss Paul Lambert has previously worked with the player at Norwich where he was given an extended run during another loan stint.
Kyle Naughton’s Spurs career may end up being defined by an unfortunate run while covering in an unfamiliar position but a sale before the end of the month would surprise very few.
What is sharewood plan after january window 4-2-3-1 4-4-2 or 4-3-3
It’s “Sherwood”
I would love to see Sherwood try a 3-4-1-2 when Vertongen and Paulinho are healthy
Better chance to spures to sell lamela juventos and offer some cash for 3 attaking player 1.mirko vucinic 2.lenardo bounocci 3.givoinco (skillfull behind the striker second striker)
“Spurs”
kyle naughton worst spurs full back since john gorman
Naughton will definitely be staying, since Fredericks is going on loan, for 93 days, to Millwall.
Naughton is required as right back cover for Walker, now that Fredericks has gone on loan to Millwall.
naughts will stay….
Hopefully Sunday we will see Kyle N’s true worth. I feel he brings a bit of calm to the defence and looks for different options better. Case in point was his Superb ball to Ade who flicked on for Ericksen to score last weekend. One of Spurs steady understudies who needs more playing time to show his true worth in his own position.
Yep, thought he did well when on at RB and Walker moved up to RM
Walker has become to cocky and complacent. Might do him good to miss out and let Naughton have a go. Defensively can’t be any worse.
