As i understand it from itk bits and bobs
1. while injured, Poch went to Levy and said pay Toby what he is asking for
2. Levy agreed and they shook on it
3. Toby came back and asked for more
4. Poch upset with that and froze him out a bit/ started preparing for life after toby
5. Toby's team surprisingly couldn't get him a club that would pay him the wedge he wants
6. Poch starts new season saying everyone has a clean slate
7. Toby been v good....maybe slight management of hamstrings aside nothing to worry about
8. waiting for (a) someone to offer him serious wedge and pays 25 million in the summer (b) he takes the original Levy deal (c) plays one more year and leaves on a free (unlikely)

about right?
Sort your punctuation out and I’d say you’re fairly spot on

The problem is Liverpool are paying Van Dijk something like 180K a week, and Toby is a far better than Van Dijk so he prob wants more than that. Understandable IMO.

This is not a guy who wants to leave and a guy who is unhappy
Davies looks like he's just realised he has followed through while farting

Whatever happens with Toby have to respect that he has given everything this season - that should be the minimum we expect but in this age of prima Donna sulking players it still stands out - he clearly just wants to be playing football. Quality CB and will go down amongst one of the top ones to have played for the club when people look back

Can't we just give both Jan and Toby new 3 year contracts for 180k a week and be done with it?

Not having to think about centre back issues for the next few years would be immense. Build the rest of the squad around 4 great CBs, we'd be the envy of every club.

You got £180ķ a week to give them each?

Looking forward to Christmas Day tweets from the club with four little pressies...new contracts for Jan, Toby and Christian who all say Poch staying was the deciding factor.

Can feel it in my water.

Can't wait.
