He and Sanchez could be an all time duo. Really sucks it likely comes at the price of selling Toby to ManU but such is life. Would be pretty upset if we don't get Martial in return.

To me Martial + de Ligt is better than Toby. Just de Ligt and no Martial makes it way tougher to swallow.

I wonder how much truth is in us sending Foyth to Ajax.
Why would they spend time to develop our players, when they can give time to their own players, who seems to come quite valuable?

I think Dier is really good as a DM but in the CB position I believe he is a liability. Too many errors.
Such a dilemma as to what is Dier's best position. I think currently Dier is a much better DM than CB for certain. However, if Dier consistently played at CB I think he would get some of the concentration lapses, etc. out of his game and become less of a liability. I think if we sell Toby and fail to get De Ligt then there is a strong possibility that we see a decent amount of Dier at CB.

Either way, glad Herc has weighed in that Foyth isn't going to Holland. Really rate the kid. Admittedly, he's not at De Ligt's level and is not nearly as well-built and physically imposing as De Ligt. But I think Foyth's composure and ability on the ball at 20 years old is exceptional. Has the pace to track runs into the channels. Kinda reminds me of Azpilucueta at times, honestly. He just needs time to bulk up and get stronger and more assertive in his challenges and tackling, including fouling at the right times. Would hate to lose him so soon before he gets a chance to do that. If he gets stronger and sticks around a few years he could be a one of the league's better outside center halves, if played in a back three alongside a more physical central defender like Davinson...
I really think several supporters have forgotten all about Foyth. Spot on about Foyth needing to bulk up and add muscle. If he can do that I really think he will be ready to handle the PL. I will be eager to see how he performs in the preseason, and how many opportunities he gets next season. If we get De Ligt we will have an exciting, young, talented core of CBs (Sanchez, De Ligt, Foyth, possibly CCV) that can play for us for the next 5-10 years potentially (in addition to Vertonghen)

Really do hope there's a way to get this deal done without hamstringing ourselves for a quality CM.

He's absolutely class (inexperienced and not in the hardest league in the world but still), and I agree with some of what's being said above Foyth hopefully will continue to grow with us, I think he's got a real chance to be a utility player.
