Ex-Spurs Player Toby Alderweireld

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Him and Dier did well today against a very cynical and physical Burnley side.

The injury could have gone either way but his response was immense.

Top man. And top coaching to be fair.
 
Stood tall the entire game after taking that hit early on. Great to see, a very solid performance on a night when that was exactly what was required.
 
Still an all time signing for us. 12m for 6 seasons and counting of top notch football.
 
All true lads, all true and he was great today.

BUT.........he struggles against pacey strikers now and we really do need to be looking to replace him (none of our existing CBs can do that), we need to be looking to sign 2 quality CBs.

True indeed. Easier said than done unfortunately. Not too many top CBs out there for affordable prices. Sanchez was bought as the Belgians' successor but that hasn't worked out. Hopeful about Rodon. Might dip back in the market for a CB in Jan, especially if we are right in the mix
 
I loved near the end tonight, they lumped one in to Wood and Wood beat him in the air and laid it off to Barnes. Yet somehow Toby got to block the shot first despite Dier being the one marking him. Leadership and experience to know that he had to be the one to block that despite Dier being closer.
 
Love Toby but stevee stevee is right. Barnes and Woods are made for him. Its Salah, Mane Horseman, Pulisic. Who he used to compete with that are now too much for him. Fingers crossed for Rodon, and yes a new top class cb still needed.
 
He was commanding yesterday. I think he just needs the right partner with him. Sanchez is quick but not great at left CB, and Dier hasn't been good enough there either.

Rodon has the right profile - quick and likes playing left CB. I'm hoping Toby-Rodon or even Toby-Tanganga could be solutions for us.
