I suspect he/club had an option to extend after x number of games and was a simple choice, more money and club protects their investment.

Anyone else annoyed we dont have poch with his arm around him pics, didnt get one with KWP yesterday either

 

[Spurrific]

Is that a new 6 year contract? Wow!

I can confirm that 2024 is in 6 years.

Hope this helps x

I have no issue with De Ligt's talent but I think we'll massively lack experience at the back should we directly replace Toby with him.

Great news! But no 'Poch pose'...?

Edit: probably on holidays!

With Sanchez, De Ligt, and Foyth we'd have three of the best young CB talents in world football, and we'd still have Vertonghen marshaling the back line. That defense could prove to be a bit more error-prone than the Toby/Vertonghen partnership in the short term but in time we'd be setting ourselves up to have potentially one of the best back lines in Europe.

We do have Jan though and Sanchez has booked a complete season in England. I think DeLigt is well beyond his years as well. I think it would be a good swap for the money due to age and injury tendencies of Toby.

De Ligt has more first team experience than Sanchez had when we bought him.

 

[dovahkiin]

not much itk on the other forums only this little snippet on toby and why hes not been picked much
grahamroberts on ftl: i was told that toby wasnt impressing as much in training, compared to the other centre halves.

Don't think it will be that much of a problem in back 3.Watch the Netherland vs Portugal game and you'll realize this kid can easily Boss this league.

de ligt rumors are starting to pick up now, really hope we get this done.

 

[Ruffinthepuffin]

Delighted with the news.

Yeah but Sanchez had Toby and Jan beside him when he started, de ligt would just have jan.

And sanchez.

 

[Finchyid]

Interesting.

I'm hoping Sanchez making this commitment is an act to convince De Ligt that this is the place to be.

Hasnt the rumour been he wants to leave to play with Sanchez and Jan ?

 

[mark87]

And sanchez.

Not the same as Toby and Jan though in terms of experience.

 

[cider spurs]

Lovely stuff. Seems strange to think that at the end of Sanchez' new deal, he'll still only be 27 years old and coming into his prime.

Really pleased for the lad, quite a feat to move to the Prem and perform to the standard he has to help us secure 3rd spot. 21 years of age. Wow!

Add to this KWP, whom I am really pleased hasn't been cast aside and hopefully will feature more, it appears he's still in Poch's plans.

Marvellous.

 

[quackers]

Toby played 14 times in the EPL this season. Davinson played 30+ plenty of experience gained

 

[nailsy]

More to come today? I'm going to crack open a beer just in case.

 

[Ruffinthepuffin]

Just you wait and see if we sign him, De Ligt is unbelievable and a leader of men too.

Massive, Massive coup if we get him.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Delighted with the news.

I see what you did there...
