I have a feeling he will join Dembele in China ...
Not a chance.
He's a top defender in his peak years and not reliant upon pace why go to a veritable retirement village for physically spent footballers?

Toby is a hired hand, that much was clear when we bought him. He's played very well for us, when healthy, and never neglected his duties to the club when here. We've benefitted greatly from his services at a below market rate for the majority of his contract. If he stays, great. If he leaves, then best of luck.
He was paid a wage to do a job for the club, and he did it. If he's decided for whatever reason that he'd prefer to do work elsewhere, then good for him. He doesn't owe us anything, nor do we owe him.
I think he's been very, very valuable to this team for sure. Given the choice of keeping him or not keeping him I don't think anyone at Spurs chooses the later. I don't think we're looking to get rid - I think we've tried and may still be trying to keep him.Will - agree the last sentence, but I think that seriously underestimates how good he is and how valuable he has been to this team
Nonsense.... We're a club on the up.
Gooners squad is absolutely rubbish (ask them!) and they are skint. Meanwhile, Chavs have an impending Trf ban whilst on the brink of losing their star man to cap off an ageing squad and were propped up by loan players this season.....
Does everything really need to be seen on the most doom laden terms possible?
So does ambition equate to kidnapping Toby's kids to make sure he signs?
We wanted to double his wages 2 years ago.
What a shit post.
Are you drunk?
I am not saying we are losing him, that I wan't to or that we shouldn't try to sign him on.
Quite the contrary, I am saying he is so good and so important to us, that the other top clubs should try to use him as a tool against us.
Try, at least try, to understand before you call other posters shit, Einstein.
Maybe YOU should try and understand what YOU are responding to.. I didn't suggest you said those things.
Also, I 'attacked' the post, not the poster.....
You called us fiscally vulnerable and accused us of lacking ambition.
I disagreed and told you why I thought your reasoning was shit.
Debate me, don't get butt-hurt, you big wuss.

I don't debate with children, who fail to play the ball rather than the man.
Goodbye.
Evidently you're not capable of reading, let alone debating...
Dumb ass... I said "shit post".... I.e. I DID play the ball.
Honestly you're whining at me not reading properly. You're a mess.
Jesus, you belong on some sort of watchlist, surely
A Levy always pays his debts*.Is Toby... Bronn?
Alderweireld contract talks break down as star demands Highgarden.A Levy always pays his debts*.
Over an extended period of time at an interest rate not to exceed the prevailing rate of return of global markets.
"I'm going to say the same thing that I've been saying for the past couple of years,” Alderweireld said when asked about his future
“The only focus is Spurs, because of this focus I think I had a good season as well. I have one year left on my contract, so in my head, I will play for Spurs next season."
Leaving on a free?
I think not Toby
When you think he only cost us 12m... It's not a masssive blow to the balance sheet if it saves us having to worry about the cost of above.
