When he goes, I hope it's to PSG, we have a good relationship with them, and I hope they can offer good money for Toby

Strong team, probably our strongest available at the moment. I’d obv like to see a team with Kane, Wanyama, and Toby all starting, as they are (when fit) match winners.

As for Toby, by stalling on his contract, I think he’s been very naive especially for a World Cup year. His injury has weakened his position too. Not getting game time from now on will surely lessen his chances in going to Russia. I doubt he’ll be going to next one in 4 years, so he seems to have played his hand very badly.

A draw, will almost ensure a top 4 place a win and we might be able to sneak top 3 COYS. I was quite young and had a good sex life last time we won at the Bridge

I don't think there is any realistic chance Toby misses the WC - even if he does not play for Spurs again this season. He might have to battle in the pre-WC camp for a spot in the XI - but he will be in the squad.

*We really want him in the squad to boost his sales value...

Doesnt matter. He more than likely will go as its Martinez who picks the Belgian team, not Poch

As for Toby, it’s not about burned bridges, it’s about being part of Poch’s “family”, his vision.

You want to play, you sign the contract on offer. You don’t want to, that’s fine, but you’re not playing, no matter how good you are.

I love this approach.

I’m sure if Toby changed his mind he would be welcomed back into the fold.

Yep, he wants players who are fully committed to the cause.

Really wish we had a fully fit and in form Wanyama for this game.

lol - did not realize Roberto Martinez was actually in the stadium today - maybe Poch sending him a message by not even including Toby on bench...
