Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

[dtxspurs]

That's up to Poch.

Poch was willing to play him in a game that decided 3rd place, so why wouldn't he play him next season?

 

[markiespurs]

Is there little spat really worth risking Champions League football over? Cause as this team stands, our best bet is 3atb with no other significant additions to the team.

If it's as bad as most of the ITKs have hinted at and ultimately undermines Pochs authority or unsettles the squad, then yes it is worth the risk in my opinion.

No idea but nobody here (apart from the ITK guys) knows what Toby has done, so nobody can answer the question you asked.

 

[Johnny J]

He's clearly off somewhere. Just a question of whether we get Martial, or some cash we may or may not spend.

There's virtually no difference between third and fourth, which was already secured. IT's more telling that he didn't start him in the match that decided fourth.

Isn't there a prize money difference in each position?

If it was really that bad, why was he played and why was he kept around the squad?

Between third and fourth is something like 1-2 million, which is nothing compared to the money you get from fourth to fifth

 

[spursfast]

It's not just £15mil, its £!5m plus his wages for a year..

the same thing with Walker, also no way back- sell to city strengthen city, now the same with Toby, strengthen united and that why we can't win the fuking league

With what little we know it’s impossible to answer.

 

[Trix]

Players the manager wants to be here?

Indeed.

"FFS Levy back the manager"



















"But only on certain things"

 

[Johnny J]

Probably to keep his value up and get him into the WC squad. Honestly the whole situation is silly. I hope we sell him abroad.

 

[Amnesiac503]

You think it's just going to be business as usual if he stays? We just go back to where we were at the beginning of last season before the fall out?

Not going to happen mate.

I want this saga to be over just so all the juicy details get spilled.

If Poch and the club hated him so much why would they give a shit about him in the WC squad? He was never in question to not make the Belgium team.

I'm not really sure what you're getting at. If it wasn't bad, Poch would want him to stay. If Poch wants him to stay and he's sold, what are we then suggesting? That he's being sold against Poch's wishes? I'm not sure what you're driving at.

this whole club is run by the balance sheet ...even to the detriment of success in field

 

[tiger666]

Just message me, I'd rather not air it out on here.

You know he only stays if this reaches 500 pages right?

 

[dtxspurs]

Haha I'd imagine by the time I wake up here in the states it will be to that point anyways.

 

[spursfan77]

I can’t imagine it was more ridiculous than AVB, adebayor and the cap situation

Some articles circulating saying Manure happy to throw in Roja or Smalling as part of the deal. I know who I want in exchange and it's neither of them!
