This one-way window extension is brilliant for Levy.
Sell the unsettled players and "sorry MP, I'm not allowed to buy a replacement".
I've little doubt Toby, Rose, Dembele etc will be offered around europe for the rest of this month.
Lovely jubbly. £££££
I.e sign a contract or you won't play that much.
That would be incredibly stupid from Poch considering Toby is significantly better than Sanchez.
No not really particularly in the case of last season, Sanchez stepped up and proved that we was an able replacement.
Can't see many teams coming in for him especially at that price.
But able doesn't mean superior. Sanchez inexperience totally cost us against Juve last season.
Sanchez is definitely the future, but we should be trying to get as much as we can from a world class defender like Toby while we still can.
You don’t think Levy would take 35m (just a guess obviously) for an unsettled player that might not sign a new contract and can leave for 25m next summer, regardless of what Poch wants?
Depends if Toby is committed to the club.
I think ultimately the decision is Poch's whether he wants to keep him around or not.
Where did I mention superior?
The problem is that his value is set at £25m next summer for a couple of weeks, if he plays well and subsequently into form then he'll become a target for our rivals, you don't want to create a scenario where Liverpool or Chelsea can sign him for as little as that do you?
The message should be don't get too comfortable until you sign which will effectively put the ball back in our court.
