He is not going anywhere, Levy will give him a new deal and part of that will include Toby mentoring the two new CBs we have signed.
Fucking Woolwich like mentality here. Man City are definitely coming in with a record bid in the summer.
Double his wages. Win some trophies. Pretty enticing when your current team don't want to do all it takes to keep you.
Just get it done ffs
Perrsonally, I'd rather Toby stayed for 2.5 years then left for nothing, than be sold in the summer for whatever fee he commands.
But I like to see the best players playing for Spurs. Seeing the best players at my club is more important to me than 60million in the bank.Nah can't agree.
If he does not sign by summer and as long as Vertoghen stays, sell him.
We can easily ask for 60 million plus, given the length of contract and at 28/29 Alderweireld would have to start again elsewhere.
We have to be savvy but we also have to have committed players.

But those aren’t the only two outcomes. There’s the middle ground of selling him for £60m and spending that on a replacement.But I like to see the best players playing for Spurs. Seeing the best players at my club is more important to me than 60million in the bank.
But its very unlikely the replacement would be a better player than Toby Alderweirald. So with that in mind, surely, from a fans point of view, its better to keep him.But those aren’t the only two outcomes. There’s the middle ground of selling him for £60m and spending that on a replacement.
Giving him a new contract will not keep him is basic point people are making.But its very unlikely the replacement would be a better player than Toby Alderweirald. So with that in mind, surely, from a fans point of view, its better to keep him.
If the money didn’t matter, I’d agree. However, how ever much we’d like to believe that we shouldn’t care how much players cost, etc, we have to.But its very unlikely the replacement would be a better player than Toby Alderweirald.

Because we aren't giving him +£150k-£300k pw contract, something that City, Man U, Madrid, Barca, Chelsea, could all offer if they wanted.Sorry?
If we give as in Alderweireld signed a new contract he would stay.
Why else would he sign it at his age?

If he wants to stay, great. If he doesn't, so be it. Let's get the maximum transfer fee for him and let whoever wants him, pay through the nose. Davy and Jan can more than hold their own and Foyth is an excellent prospect.
No player is bigger than the club and we can't let anyone hold us to ransom. If they are that short-sighted, they can do one.
I completely disagree with this kind of philosophy Mrs PIf he wants to stay, great. If he doesn't, so be it. Let's get the maximum transfer fee for him and let whoever wants him, pay through the nose. Davy and Jan can more than hold their own and Foyth is an excellent prospect.
