Bored of this saga now. Get the money in from overseas and sign up a replacement.
pretty sure that other leagues haven't changed their window dates, so they'll be able to sign after Aug 9.Can foreign clubs buy PL players after Aug 9th? If we're relying on his money to be able to spend then we're gonna need to sell him as soon as we can. Otherwise a foreign club could make us wait until after closes and we're not able to spend. Which could force Levy to accept a bid from a PL team just to get the money into the transfer kitty.
Bit difficult if Toby doesnt want to go overseas, we cant dictate where players go if there arent any suitable offersBored of this saga now. Get the money in from overseas and sign up a replacement.

Of course even if Toby goes to Barca, we'll still be accused of being a selling club. Unlike Pool when they sold them Coutinho. If TA goes there, I can live with that and good money. Better than another PL club.
Hopefully one day we will know the truth. Did Toby genuinely want to stay with us or was he just asking for unrealistic demands knowing we couldn't meet it
I don’t think we need to wait for the truth. We offered him a very good package but he didn’t want to sign. He didn’t want to stay. That’s fair enough. I understand why a defender of his quality who can move to Barca would want to leave, especially at his age. I think he’s handled it pretty well, all told.

Jan should put his arm around Toby and point to the crowd at Wembley:” how can you leave this?”
I remember someone said that to Modric. If his mind's made up, little you can do. If we had City's money, I'm sure we'd be a more attractive prospect.Jan should put his arm around Toby and point to the crowd at Wembley:” how can you leave this?”
To save me trawling through the thread, has anyone talked numbers yet? What sort of transfer fee are we talking about?
