It all depends if he joins some other club, or signs a new contract (don't see the second happening). Then it depends if we are in a fight with Spurs (be it for title, top 4 or relegation). If we are, cannot see Spurs strengthening us, if not, maybe 35m should do it.
Of course it is. That bit likely referred to the Barca defender not Toby.
That doesn't make any sense either! Think it's clear that Alderweireld would be first choice here.
There is absolutely zero chance we sell Toby in the January window.
Not at all. We've kept one of the best CBs in the league. Poch hinted that players who had thought about leaving were now happy to stay. I'm assuming he meant Toby in this. I'm pretty sure Toby will get lots of game time. He will be reintegrated back into the side. I can't see us selling him abroad this window as we will have no back ups. I can't see us keeping him on the bench as he is just too good for that.
That is impossible. The absolutely cheapest he will cost will be £25 million.
Possible and a much better option than strengthening a rival.
Big 3 don't need him, others likely cannot afford him.
Yeah, I could see this happening. I think Levy's logic was either to do this or chance his arm at holding Alderweireld to ransom, threatening no playing time (ala las season) until he commits fully to Spurs.
Only PSG imo. Bayern will go for Pavard if they sell Boateng, otherwise they will keep Boateng for another season. PSG need a new CB though, so if not Boateng, Toby could come. Depends also on the price Spurs want from a non PL club
Yeah, villareal is buying him for 60 m. Is it?
They won't ask 60m from a proverbial Villareal.
£25m will actually be the absolute maximum he would cost. He could go for less but he cannot go for any more than that.
Thankfully they don’t need defenders.No, But maybe PSG for €45m
Well no, he couldn't go for less as anything below £25 million and there would be no point selling, Spurs don't or need to sell below that figure. Spurs wouldn't sell Toby to anyone next summer for say £20 million.
Well in theory he could go for less if they accepted a bid. He can’t go for anything more than that which is why you cannot say that it’s minimum, it is either the maximum or the exact price.
They already have Sanchez they didnt need one.
@AlderweireldTob As long as he doesn't sign a new contract/extension , I would consider him as a guy who wants to leaveDoesn't sound like a guy planning on leaving....
Alderweireld Toby
First game, first win! Let’s go & win the title in our new stadium! #COYS #THFC
Maybe he’s heard good things about the benches in the new stadium?Doesn't sound like a guy planning on leaving....

And Levy will probably refuse to accept anything below £50m (lowered from the £75m he set this summer).
Why don’t we just see how our defence gets on for the next 4 months, and if needs be we can address in Jan or more likely next summer - whether that’s Toby, someone else on no-one.
Agreed. Besides, I think there are more urgent areas that we need strengthening.
One of the prime reason Jose plays defensively is that he thinks our central defense is not good enough to command that area when the opposition is attacking and when we play open football, they cant read the danger early enough but just react to it and block shots or depends too much on De gea's brilliance, that's why he plays so conservative in big games specially away from home or after going up in the game. Even if our defense performs well, our playing conservative is a contributing factor to it, i think we will see a lot more positive football if Jose is assured on the defensive solidity who can read the danger better and contribute in offensive plays as well. Victor lindelof is still Developing.
The whole point of his angling.for a move is other clubs will pay more than spurs will.
You're thinking purely in squad number terms, I'm talking in style of play, footballing terms. Toby plays a certain way that they clearly want to keep him around for if a similar replacement isn't found.
Well he wont say - Dont care about the team, I'm off in January anyway.Doesn't sound like a guy planning on leaving....

No, I'm thinking they played without him most of last season and were fine. They have already moved on
I am sure he will be reintegrated back into the team soon enough.
Even stranger given we saw his quality at first hand in the CL.
