Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

[Trix]

Not made team of the season. What a joke!

No way is he better than The King. Ledley had it all. Speed, strength, good on the ball, read the game well, agility. As perfect a defender as you can get, apart from his poor injury record.

Toby also has it all. I'd say he is every bit as good.

Cahill and David Luiz in centre def. LOL

Rose, Walker, Alli and Kane are in.
De Gea Kante, Hazard, Mane and Lukaku are the others.

It's PFA. Players vote for people they like, not necessarily who they think is the best. It's meaningless.

quite a bit of surprise within the writers rank for this. Surprised at De Gea and Cahill in particular.

Tbh I think De Gea got on as the token Yanited player. He's been good, but has he been better than Hugo or Courtois?

Tbh think Vertonghen been better then Toby and should be in team of the season

Should be Hugo.

Which is a big part of what makes a player special. It's not just about ability IMO. Reliability is crucial.

Yup due to Toby's injury, Vertonghen has been our main man at the back this season.

Or Pickford or Heaton.

Wasn't the vote done January or February?

That was around the time that Toby had missed a number of weeks through injury, wasn't it? Perhaps he was just out of sight, out of mind due to his injuries when teh votes were cast.

Poch today:

Asked about whether Toby Aldeweireld has turned down a contract offer at Tottenham, Pochettino points to his players' long contracts.

"I never speak about rumours. Go speak to Daniel.

"All the players have contracts for the next two, three years. We are not worried. I invite all the clubs that want a player form Tottenham to come to the training ground and speak to Daniel Levy.

"Toby is in his second season at the club, no one has doubt about Toby."

Pochettino: "I invite all the clubs that want players from Tottenham to come to the training ground and visit our chairman Daniel Levy."


Fuck me could I love Pochettino any more

I instantly felt 100x better after reading those quotes.

Poch always knows exactly what to say. Love that man.

And we know what sort of answer they will get from Levy.
