Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

[sausage]

for sure i get that but what's the root off 'suck' = bad?

Possibly sucks hind teat, which is a really old English expression.

The offspring that sucks the hind teat gets less milk.

I think we'll have offered him more than united or anyone else which is the issue now. He wants VVD money but no-one is offering that.

That's my hot take anyway.

Not a chance, if he signs for Manure he will be on over £150K a week.

Toby is such a source of frustration. I was a centre back in my day and when Toby joined Jan I thought we were sorted until those guys decided to retire. Didn't see the toys being thrown out the pram at all, as he seemed a pretty down to earth and classy guy. Sad.

I seen it coming, don’t really have a problem with it as it’s the way the game has gone. He shat on Southapton so no reason why not us if he wants to move “up”.

I never thought we’d get to this point. A summer transfer window so utterly void of life, we’re now pondering the etymological roots of idioms both old and new world. Fuck, I didn’t even now what etymological meant until scrolling through this site while performing my first of many dumps today. Fuck you, Levy, for forcing my educational development in totally pointless matters

 

[Chris Flynn]

No idea, but it’s usually prefaced by “gee that”

and suffexed by 'Yee haw, pastrami on rye'

'Hey Chip Phonex Jr, sorry to hear about your type 2 diabetes, that really sucks the hind teat'

yep works for me. thanks Sausage!

sorry man, i may have taken it slightly off topic, but i have learned something from a magic sausage and isnt that really why we are all here? the football stuff is just smoke and mirrors

 

[rio bryan]

Agreed. I'm quite surprised that some people are now happy to not buy another CB if Toby goes. A few weeks ago the ITK's were talking about de Ligt and Pavard. Now we don't care? Strange.

Yes Dier can play in defence, but with fitness concerns over Wanyama he'll likely be needed in midfield. Foyth is a promising young player but with no PL experience it's asking a lot for him to step up in the event of a Jan or Sanchez injury.

So if we don't buy a replacement basicly we will have CCV and Foyth to come in, no chance of a 3 at the back then !

Football is just a carrot dangling on a stick that leads to SC and a higher state of consciousness.

Maybe it's the fact De Ligt and Pavard are not available? Perhaps there's nobody we rate available just yet, but there may be in January/next summer. Buying for the sake of it leads to a bloated squad of fillers you then can't shift, see Sissoko, Nkoudou, Llorente etc now. Equally, the comment I believe was, he won't be replaced. Maybe that's just not like for like, and a DM/CM will be signed instead of a CB.

The only way you get experience is to play. I can only assume Poch and his team have seen enough in training to think we have players capable of stepping up. If you don't place faith in the like of Foyth, Carter-Vickers & Walker-Peters etc, then you just end up stifling their development until they get sold, and you start the cycle again. Only way they develop into first team calibre players is to actually be trusted to play.

We have 5 (6 if you include Sissoko) attacking mids. We are apparently after more. I don't think the back 3 will be coming back much, a good thing imo.

It doesn't matter how good they are, they are still young and that includes Sanchez as well for that matter !

 

[nattydredd]

I wonder how far from the truth this will be :- (Using guess work)

1. We sell Toby to UTD
2. We Don't get Martial in return
3. We don't get a replacement in this window
4. Spurs fans lose their shit.
5. Media once again label us as "A selling club - lacking of ambition"
6. Media Rumours start to drip out as to Toby's awful behaviour at Spurs
7. Spurs fans use said "factoids" to hurl at Toby
8. Levy feels better as he is no longer public enemy number 1
9. Spurs fans move on with life
10. Levy drinks a bottle of Chateau de Chateau 1945

Just my 2 cents.

Exactly, this is why he put the release clause in the contract. He’s looking out for himself, we always knew it. We always knew he would be off when it suited him.

I made my peace with this a long time ago which is why I’m not bothered about it.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

I get that, i do. However if as the chinese whispers campaign is alleging, we would have cut our losses for the greater good of squad "harmony". So i dont buy the current story out there at the moment.

We paid 11.5 million for him. Even being sold at 40 million would be selling him at a profit..

But you will need over £40m and more to find an equal replacement

This isn't right. Early on in the window there was ITK saying Toby would be replaced.

 

[JB_Spurs]

It's easy to say that we mustn't sell Toby without getting Martial but in reality United hold a lot more cards in the situation than we do. We will lose Toby either way, and most likely to United, whether its this summer or next. Only thing I can see forcing it is if Martial puts in a transfer request, and even then United could just wait it out and sell him abroad somewhere. Unless he explicitly tells them he wants to come to us...

Ive just seen on Twitter that we’re negotiating for smalling or Jones to be part of the toby deal. ????
