Because Toby is one of the best CB in the world. If Toby offers the olive branch and signs a good deal it would be a no brainer.

Agreed, but from itk it would appear a lot of movement from both is required. Want him to stay, but I reckon once United firm up their interest I reckon he’ll be gone...

Toby was the best CB in the league two years ago.

Sanchez will be the best CB in the league two years from now.

Who would Pochettino rather give more game time to?

Are we trying to win the league next season?, or are we trying to win the league in two years time?

Regardless, Toby staying and Sanchez's development aren't directly in opposition. 3 centre halves will play plenty of games considering the number of competitions we're in, injuries also play a huge part. We could also play three at the back in some games.

With Trix posting that Toby' agent is back tracking and the rumours of Utd planning a big bid for Bonucci does make you wonder if Utd have turned their attention elsewhere now

Unlikely as it seems , If Toby signs an extended contract I'd be delighted - that would be better than any signing we could make this summer, IMO.

Don't discount the other half the post I made regarding him.

Like I have said before people only read what they want to believe.

It is unlikely he will be here in September.

Quotes from Toby here

“I think Harry is one of the best strikers in the world, of course he is,” he said.

“He’s an all-round player. He’s not just scoring goals, he’s helping the team play better. The only thing he didn’t do is score against Belgium so that’s a positive for us.

“But he is a wonderful player and still very young as well, people forget that.

“He has the desire to be one of the best, maybe the best, and this is just the beginning I think.”

Alderweireld also claimed bragging rights over Spurs midfielder Eric Dier, sliding to clear his goalbound chip off the line with the match delicately poised at 1-0.

It was England’s best move of the night, with Dier desperately close to providing a memorable finish.

“I spoke to him after, I said ‘I’m sorry. I’m sorry’,” said Alderweireld.

“It was very good play from him, he did everything perfectly but unfortunately for him I was in the right place.”

Tottenham had a total of nine players involved in the last four of the tournament – testament to the calibre of the side compiled by Mauricio Pochettino.

They are still yet to cap their development with silverware but Alderweireld said: “It is something for the club and the fans to be proud of, you can see that for the past few seasons.

“Of course everybody will say you didn’t win anything yet but our level every season is top four and we are extremely consistent.

“You can see at this World Cup. The players are at a good level and being decisive players for their countries. Spurs are going the right way.”

I really hope Poch can repair their relationship, he managed it with Rose and he publically said much worse.

People forget just how good him and Jan were the season before last, if we get them to that level again we’re laughing.
