I agree, hard to know. But Toby's contract issue actually started last spring and summer. So, I think Levy/Poch knew they were likely going to sell Toby this summer, and did not want to be in a position to have to sell and buy a replacement at the same time. £40+M is a lot to spend on Dier's spot as a 3rd CB.I think Sanchez was Dier's CB replacement and Foyth was Wimmers replacement/long term prospect personally. Who the hell knows though.
