The emergence of Tanganga has made me a lot calmer about the prospect of Toby leaving for free next summer. Genuinely think the kid will be a star.

Timing is everything.Eyoma is also highly thought of, and I think I'm right in saying he was probably ahead of Tanganga for pre season before he picked up a knock.

Tanganga was solid but none of our defenders is in Alderweireld's league.The emergence of Tanganga has made me a lot calmer about the prospect of Toby leaving for free next summer. Genuinely think the kid will be a star.
It becomes less of a need if we have NDombele Winks and Lo Celso in the midfield.Tanganga was solid but none of our defenders is in Alderweireld's league.
No one, not even Jan can pass as well as Toby from the back. He is the best long range passer in the world.
Be that as it may, all good things come to an end, Alderweireld had to start somewhere too and while in an ideal world Toby has three years left on his deal, Tanganga is a year younger making his breakthrough and there’s all that time for one to learn from the other, that is not the situation we find ourselves in. The situation we find ourselves in is that Toby looks to be staying but not signing, leaving for free in a year, and Tanganga has just had an exceptional pre season. Now, we can be despondent, or we can use this year to give more time to Tanganga, more time to Foyth and more time to Sanchez alongside both Belgians so that they can learn and develop into the next great Spurs centre backs, taking a lot of stress out of having to replace Toby and maybe even Vertonghen this time next year.Tanganga was solid but none of our defenders is in Alderweireld's league.

To my earlier post, his solid partnership with Vertonghen is one of the main reasons we have broken into the top 4 imo.
He has formed good partnerships with other CBs when Vertonghen has been injured, (LCB and RCB) so his record is not all down to telepathy with JV.
When you think we have put ManU out the CL once again, he is worth £25m to them just to mess with our season. And that goes for arsenal too.
And yet no bid was made.
As for his age, he is not of the traditional CB build. I don't think he, JV or even Dier are particularly good in the air (it is not how they defend). They are all hybrids.
So he isn't really swapping elbows with No 9s and his lighter frame should add to his years at the top. And yet there was no bid.
It is a real mystery as even if he perhaps doesn't stand out to the average non spurs fan, his fellow professionals must know how good he is.
That's a positive one which I like, but only if Toby is really going.BILD are reporting that we are interested in signing Matthias Ginter from Monchengladbach - Toby replacement?

Compared to Toby, he’s just turd dust in the windIs Ginter any good? I seem to remember watching his highlights last year and he was awful.
Definitely!Timing is everything.
