There's a little update here which ties in with some of the ITK we've had recently....

http://www.football.london/tottenha...o-davinson-sanchez-toby-alderweireld-13532461

The Tottenham manager also made it clear that Sanchez has not been signed to replace Toby Alderweireld.

"There's nothing to relate [the two players]. Today, I was talking for one hour with Toby. He is so happy here. The club now is so busy trying to add more quality to the team," explained Pochettino.

"It's true that Davinson is more competition for our centre-backs but it can only be good. No doubt, when the window finishes, Daniel will try to work and make happy every single player of the club."

I know this thread isn't popular but something isn't right in this situation

I think this thread was only unpopular initially as it had a really stupid name like 'why aren't we giving him a contract' when it's highly unlikely we aren't trying.

As for the statement, agents saying agents things. It can be seen extremely negatively, but at least it's clear he would take an appropriate contract so isn't desperate to leave.

Nothing to worry about, just an agent being an agent and trying to apply pressure via the media. Power is certainly with us here.

I'm in my 40's so I've seen all there was to see and although I appreciate how good he was I feel its unfair to say he was as good or better than Toby. Not trying to rile anyone...just an honest opinion


I think you might be on your own in that opinion mate. Ledley was the best ever, they even picked him for England although he was crocked. I think Toby is special and very necessary to the side but Ledley was pure class he had it all.[/QUOTE]
Just because he was picked for England that backs up your argument? England haven't had a decent team in 20 yrs...

So he has a contract until the summer of 2020:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Alderweireld

3 years left, which realistically gives us another year to sort out his new contract

If he refuses to sign by then, he'd still have enough time left on his contract that we'd be able to get a hefty transfer fee for him, and find a young replacement

Hope that doesn't happen, but it's not quite time to freak out just yet

Yup I've no idea what all the fuss is about,Eriksen is same time frame ,and Jan is 2019.poor old Toby has to survive on 50k a week.yes of course he should be on more.But if he was that un happy he would have done a Vvd.Levy could easily play hardball on this 3 years would take him to 31.At which point he would start to be in decline and we already have 2 new very young quality CB at the club.But I believe Levy is a fair guy and Toby will get what he deserves.But the fact is right now we Or levy holds all the cards.

I suspect he has been offered parity with Kane, Lloris etc. Poch knows just how important he is to the team.

I feel Barca and other clubs have had a little word in his Father's ear that they would be willing to pay him 200k+ a week (which would be out of our wage budget. Let's to be honest, he is 28 and one of the world's best centre backs - he is worth that in today's market.

He'll be in his prime at 31. Decline my arse.

But they don't hold the cards over his motivation and ability.

We're all guessing.

So here's my guess: Spurs are quite ready to pay him top whack, which by our standards is around £100k pw , thereby doubling his current basic. I have no doubt that they know he is worth that and more, and no one else needs to doubt it.

But in the negotiations they want something in return: the scrapping of the buy-out clause. This is widely reported. So Toby's advisors know the ball's in their court. Drop the buy-out, double his wages. Or do as they are at present, sit tight and try to use the ticking clock and the threat of "other clubs" to squeeze even more out of Spurs so that Toby can make the best decision.

None of this is unreasonable. It's how negotiations happen. But it would be wrong to suppose that it's Spurs simply refusing to offer a new contract, or refusing to recognise his value. The next move is almost certainly with Toby's advisors and they are sitting tight, with time on their side, waiting for Spurs to blink.

If the negotiations are informal, as they almost certainly are and usually are are at this stage, in that offers and requests aren't yet in writing, then the whole thing can be presented either way: it's up to Spurs to offer more, or it's up to Toby to budge on the buy-out. The reality is that at some point they'll each find out what the very best deal is and they'll each decide if it's acceptable. Just like all other players, it'll come down to whether Toby wants to play for Spurs for the rest of his at-peak career or not, and that's a big enough decision to make him, and his advisors, stop and think for as long as they've got.

Really can't see the issue here.

I can believe the logic behind not offering contracts until the windows closed, as it increases incomings expectations. So its perfectly plausible that he hasn't been offered a new deal yet. If he was offered parity with Kane / Lloris a year ago like many said on here he should have, what then happens 18 months later - another rise? He still has 3 years left (2 before this supposed release clause). Now seems like the right time to act.

From the agents perspective, his job is to get his client the best deal, he's said offer him what he's worth (perfectly reasonable) as there are other teams that will.

If he signs, great, it means he's fully commited as at 28 this decision (extending or moving) will be the defining one of his career. If he doesn't, its a shame, but if £100k isn't enough to keep him, then his minds already made up.
