From what I am told there is better offer than that that has been on the table for a while. He's not rejected it out of hand, but he doesn't look close to signing it either.

That doesn’t sound good. Sounds very much like he wants his nice, convenient buy out clause so he can hedge his bets.
Can’t say I blame him, but I think his advisers have played this pretty well if that clause is to be believed.

They have been testing the water in regards to Toby, I am 100% sure of that. It is likely though they have identified numerous targets for the same position(it's what most clubs do) to see which one pans out best.

Whilst this is not ideal info in respect of Toby, it is quite promising in that we are seemingly willing to pay over £100k per week. We need to be getting closer to Liverpool and Arsenal on wages to have any hope of remaining competitive IMHO...

I get the impression that Pep wants a CB this window, and it sounds like unless a stupid offer came in for Toby hes not going anywhere this window.
I can see them going after Umtiti as he has (I think) a 50m buyout clause.

You'd think Trix and the others would say if that's the case.

Maybe they have been told not to say anything

Would be great if it's true and announce soon. Would be a huge boost to all of us... Don't think we will see much movement so this is as good as it gets.

Could anyone see an agreement like "if you sing our new contract you will get paid more, it will remove that rumored release clause, and we will let you listen to offers if we don't get into CL"? It would be great if Toby signed and wanted to stay, but let's say he is searching for hardware, but still wants to help us out? He is hands down one of the best CB's out there and he could just be doing us a favor in the end? Not like he has been treated badly here and it really is the first place he was given a go.

Saw him in the pick n' mix at Enfield Cineworld on Saturday. Hope that helps clarify the situation.
