Ex-Spurs Player Toby Alderweireld

Over the last 18 months.... BEN DAVIES!!!!
So we make Toby our highest paid player, the likes of Kane, Lloris, Vertonghen, Eriksen, Dele, Son will also come calling for parity, thus increasing our well structured wage bill by £40-50m money I’m sure the club don’t have whilst trying to carefully balance the books with the stadium build. The sheer ignorance of some fans, just pay the players what they’re worth/buy £50m players, without considering the consequences. These things should be done nearer the end of the season when budgets can be set not in the middle of the season during a important period with games to play.

Day 2...
He will stay because he knows we are progressing well and will win some silver shortly.
We have the best facilities around, shortly new stadium and our guys play for the shirt, that's obvious to other teams fans and they fucking hate it because their players are just greedy bastards.
Let’s hope so. Only thing that supposedly stops our players leaving according to the media is ‘trophies’ and money.
Edit* looks like The Times(the club) are are trolling Toby but releasing articles about new contract negotiations for Kane, Alli, Eriksen and Son.

He’s been injured so it’s obvious again the team as a whole is strong enough to deal with his loss.
So no it’s not simple.
The only reason we are coming to the end is he has not signed what has been offered to him.
Repeatedly on here you see people saying players shouldn’t sign the contract if they are not happy with it.
Well he hasn’t. So a lot of people should be happy about that at least.
It’s pretty obvious the longer this goes on he’s more likely to leave as every week passes he’s effectively lost potential wages.
Like Walker before he’s off. He can triple his money get a signing on fee and we get a transfer fee. It’s how the club works.
Have faith in Sanchez, Foyth and whoever else we buy to be the next Toby and Jan.
Apparently the issue isn't us not being prepared to offer the wages, it's that he keeps on demanding to have a release clause in his contract - we obviously aren't going to treble his wages and set an asking price so he can leave immediately.
Seems like Man United have tapped him up.
Also worth noting that these situations only arise when a player is injured for an extended period, as our bonuses are so good that they aren't 'under paid' as long as they are fit and playing.

Just put a ridiculous Barcelona / Real Madrid style release clause in his contract - £300m and he's yours.
Everyone is a winner.

Levy wouldn't even do that I don't think - he'd still look stupid if we announced him signing a new contract and then had to sell two weeks later, regardless of the amount.
He played against Newport then left out of the squad for CL tie against Juve and played against Rochdale few days later. We will see how the next 4 games go, he has a "small injury" so again out of a PL game against Palace then cup game followed by Huddersfield and Juve. We shall see.
I don't think Levy would mind if it was £300m! No matter how good he is, nobody is paying that for Toby...
I also think the talent/agent has to agree on the amount in the clause. So it is not as simple as going "Oh you want a release clause? Fine. It is set at one gorillion dollars"
We really don’t want to see Toby sold, him and Jan are easily the best CB paring in Europe, maybe even the world, but ultimately I think the decision lies with Poch if he is sold, I don’t think levy would sell him unless Poch agrees.
Any how this is all bollox, there will be a lot more of it before the summer is here, no one wants to see Toby go, but if he wants out there is nothing we can do, maybe it’s about wages, maybe he wants to have the end of his career in the sun, who knows really, but it’s good to see we have prepared for this in signing Sanchez, and having foyth on the conveyer belt ready!
It would be a pretty boring forum if we always Had to wait for facts..... it’s all about the cunt offs, don’t get those with pure facts?
Yep all whilst earning his paltry £50k pw. £110k pw not to be sniffed at, also as has been shown perform well and new contracts are offered on an annual basis. It’s how sensible budget management works. Far too many clubs reward mediocrity.
Can you bring evidence that I'm not Spurs I'm gooner?
