Ex-Spurs Player Toby Alderweireld

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Honest question. Is there any club / legitimately verifiable source which confirms how much our players and others at other clubs earn?

I’ve seen lots of press tripe and speculation is rife but do any of us know anything at all for sure?

I’ve never seen a pro footballers contract that I remember either.
 
Football needs a few clubs to go bankrupt it's becoming obscene when players like eyes are offside and the Chilean pitbull are both earning close to 20 million a year despite downing tools constantly over the last year for Woolwich , then you have little penis on 140k a week because he gets 12 tap ins a year and doesn't even start for West Ham every week , Wheelchair and Walnut on 120k a week despite not improving since being 19 , the surprising thing is not Toby wanting 150k a week the surprising thing is it's not the whole team.

You prove my point when using the example of beating all those clubs - we're playing like a top club but acting small time when it comes to wages. I'm sorry mate, it's just the truth.

I don't want to bankrupt the club, but it's definitely in our capability to pay Toby that. A lot of our current players don't need to contracts urgently, they'll get them on a reward basis, Toby has a contract running down and it needs addressing now. We can deal with the others another time, when the new revenue streams you speak of come into fruition...

We are acting within our means in regards to contracts.

For the 3rd time. Yes, we can afford to pay Toby that. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY HARRY KANE, HUGO LLORIS AND TOBY ALDERWEIRELD THAT!

Hugo is our highest earner and apparently has a 'match highest wage' clause in his contract. Harry has been promised he will become the club's highest earner.

You give Toby that salary, right now, you then bump them two's wages up with him.

We aren't talking about affording a single contract. Winks is on around 20k, Dele 50k, Christian 75k. They all deserve more and you cave to Toby's demands before we are ready to pay that, we go against everything we've set ourselves up for in the last few years.

Like everyone else, Toby must wait.

Not to the exact pound but it's known generally what a player earns. Nothing is 100%, but common sense says our best earners Hugo and Harry are on around 100-120k.

Yes, I will sign a contract with your care home as a new full time network administrator.

Bad days for you I'm afraid, no more internet 24/7. On the bright side, you get to completely focus on your medications.

Must wait? How long? With this logic, Toby will be leaving. He's got one more season with us and then he's into his final year.

We're not stupid enough to get ourselves into a situation like those mugs down the road where a key first team player is in his last year of a contract. They ended up losing one of them to a rival and panicked and paid the other a ridiculous amount to stay.
 
I know we're not Sunderland but look how the mighty (ish) have fallen. They have dropped out the top tier, look to be dropping again this season, have huge debt and an owner who can't sell the club and is willing to take a massive loss on his initial investment. They have a pretty loyal fanbase who are willing to spend money on kit and tickets every season.

Fact is, the survival of a club has to be won in the boardroom first. Many clubs have piled in cash in the hope winning something will be the catalyst to continued success and revenue. It doesn't work that way, I believe Leicester are likely to be the next ones in trouble, in three years they will drift off into the distance never to return.

We're smart, we've looking at sustainable ways to keep revenue up we wont let players jeopardise this... I'm not saying Toby is doing that but it's a pretty clear policy from the club and one I personally admire. At least I know Spurs will be around for my grand children to support.

I don't know how many different ways I can say until the stadium is built. Until the stadium is operational?

If Toby leaves, so be it. I trust Poch and Levy to do right by the club. I'm sure they have it in hand. Again Harry and Poch's contracts are far more pressing matters. They are our next decade.

Looking foward to that.

Can't wait to hear from you how football was like in 1930s while I'm teaching you how different modern football is.

Don't get over excited yet, as the complexities of modern football might prove to be too much for your declining mental capacity.
 
Just like walker, Toby will go on to win medals. As will rose in the summer aswell. How fucking dare they. The fucking cheek of them.

But the bonus of all this is, we can all sleep easily in our beds knowing that the wage structure hasn’t been broken , and the clubs finances are finely balanced. What more can we ask for. Thank god for levy and Enic .
 
Just regarding Kane. Correct me if I’m wrong , he said he will be happy to stay at spurs as long as we show ambition .

So we sold the best right back in the league last summer. We are now selling the best central defender in the league and one of the best in Europe, and we are also going to be selling the best left back in the league in the summer aswell .

I hope this meets young Harry’s requirements !

It's not like Levy doesn't want to keep them. The club just don't have enough money to spend on these wages ffs.
