Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

[Thanksandy]

Toby is class and I was surprised at the sentiment towards him in recent months, that he is way past it and will be sold at the end of the season.
Personally I'd sell Sanchez and bring someone else with pace and height in to play alongside Alderweireld or Dier.
Let's see what Inter would say if we wanted to swap Sanchez for Skriniar and Alderweireld would play alongside him, as our first choice.

 

[TheTanguy]

Thought he was immense today, hopefully the injury isn't too serious.

 

[dtxspurs]

Beast.

 

[PrettyColors]

Heartbreaking that he did his groin. Best case scenario he could be back for Arsenal but I fear it’ll be like Kane or Dembele’s multi month ones...

What a player though.

Swear some people on here was writing him off??
Still has so much class

 

[Duck]

Isn't a torn groin muscle months out?

This could be a bit of a disaster, Alderweireld and Dier have been stellar together. Rodon is still a bit of an unknown, and we certainly don't want to go back to Sanchez.

Pray for Toby

Him and Dier are playing so well together

 

[OPModric]

Masterclass individually and also makes everyone around him better.

It was almost justified. He was looking way off the pace but he is back to the levels we know

Genuinely a 10 out there today. The best CB we’ve had at the club for decades imo

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Groin injuries are right but he walked off so I’m optimistic we’ll have him back by Christmas.

 

[HildoSpur]

Awful to see him go off. He has been fantastic this season. Big opportunity for Rodon now.

Fingers crossed just a tweak as he’s a colossus

I did, I honestly didn't think that he was capable of reaching the levels of 2015-17 but I was wrong, he's been absolutely brilliant these last few matches.

What's also helped him is the team playing a bit more safer since the West Ham match, we dropped back a bit and the Sissoko/Hojbjerg combo he's been more protected.

Dam

 

[GioW]

Yeah so that's rubbish

 

[spursfan77]

Mourinho says it’s a bad one. Fuck.

Martinez is a prick playing him every game in the international break. I said in the week it was fucking stupid playing him 90 minutes every game.

 

[GioW]

Absolute fair play to Dier recently but I was thinking to myself if he got injured (hopefully not obviously) Rodon could well flourish with Toby. Not sure I feel as confident with Rodon and Dier..

 

[ajspurs]

Such a shame, Jose saying he thinks it will be a long one as well.

I wonder if this will further force our hand in the market.

Mourinho said Son would be out for "a while", before he came back against Man United the next game and scored twice.
