I agree. Sell this summer to PSG, or whoever stumps up abroad, and then throw it all at Ajax for De Ligt, outbidding any others who come sniffing. If Levy did this, I think we'd all be happy.

In reality, he goes for £40m and we get Evans for £3m.

And he’s still better than Mustafi

Forget about the summer but this guy needs to start today. Sanchez has done a decent job in his absence but one of the most important thing Toby gave us was his creativity from the back. One of the reasons we havent seen Alli make those deadly runs is not just because of defenders are figuring him out but also because Toby wasnt there to supply those balls. Toby-Alli combo is lethal and we need to make full use of it.

If he plays, gets us to the final, plays again and we win the final. All will be forgiven. Hell knows, he may even WANT to stay at that point..

Also, if he starts today, then Poch must be realising a couple of things. Fair play..

If Alderweireld plays and Sanchez misses out I will be gutting for him. He's been playing well this season for us and i feel he should be allowed to play.

Utd will turn this into an aerial game like they did against Liverpool. That's why I would like to see Sanchez, Toby & Vert in there. Also Toby Good for attacking headers for our own attacks.

Love Toby as a player but didn't he play the last few seasons where we haven't won anything? Including last year's semi final against Chelsea don't get why suddenly he's such a winner and the difference again not doubting him as a player but let's not make out he will 100% win us the game

Dier supplied the pass against Chelsea for Alli. Rather have Toby in the team than not

This was the season where we had the real chance to push on with Sanchez coming in. When we played 3 at the back we were so solid defensively...

When Toby got injured our season went downhill IMHO.
But what irks me is that against Utd I feel it was a perfect opportunity to play 3 at the back again with Toby in the middle. Would have been interesting to see if he could get the defense playing like it was at, up to the first Madrid game where Toby got injured.


Opportunity missed I feel.

I'm not saying we'd win things with Toby, but what I would say is it would definitely increase our chances of winning something. No doubt about it.
How could anyone think we are better defensively without Toby than with him? That's just insane.

He's clearly made our defense better. And as a result the team is better.
