Toby Alderweireld

He doesn’t warrant a wage that would make him the third best paid CB in the world after Sergio Ramos and Thiago Silva. There are title winning CBs who earn less than the £130k we offered, let alone the £180k he’s demanding.

 

But I have read on your board that all your players are "the best in their position", if so then surely he is worth the best money?

Ramos and Silva are title winning CBs because they are part of title winning teams, not necessarily because they are the best CBs.

 

Don't worry about it...you'll pay him what he wants...youre mugs like that

 

I never worry about things like that

 

Of course you do or I won't find one post from you on here discussing wages and transfers

We all show some kind of concern when our team blows it's money...we certainly mock other teams for it...I've seen you do it Diego

 

Lol you love fabricating stuff to try and make your points look valid.

As for Ramos and Silva, they wouldn’t be title winning CBs if they weren’t any good. Both are elite level leaders and widely recognised as two of the best around. Toby is a great CB, one of the best we’ve had in years but he ain’t on their level.

 

Well Tottenham fans should be concerned, considering your past record signings, maybe that's why you haven't made any so far this window.

 

Sissoko 35m

 

So because he is in a team that is incapable of winning the league he is not at their level, no wonder he wants to leave.

Am I fabricating the "best in their position" stuff?

 

You have definitely seen me mock other teams for it, when have you ever seen me post/worry about what we spend or pay wages?

 

with CB's possibly, I think it's more of a case of how well they compliment each other, rather than how good each one is.

 

I think to suggest someone isn't worth a price tag or a wage structure is showing concern of sorts and I don't believe any of us have never balked at some of the sums associated with our clubs

 

He was at Atleti when they won the league and couldn’t get in over Godin and Miranda. So he’s even been at a league winning side yet played minimal games. So it suggests he’s just below the level of those elite CBs.

Yes you are. We feel we’ve definitely got some of the best players in the Prem - three successive top three finishes would back that up - but the best in their positions? Not seen anyone say that we have the best in a number of positions. The only one we probably may say that about is Kane and when looking around Europe at other strikers, it’s hard to name too many better.

 

I'm definately concerned Ern

I believe this was the window we should have spent on proven talent ready for the first team, it's what the team needs, I feel.

But.....

 

You really need to read more, off the top of my head Walker, Rose, Ericksen, Dembele and Kane have been described as such, I couldn't swear to it at this point but am fairly sure I have seen Toby, Verts and Dele described in the same way.

 

As in some of the best in Prem? Sure.

Outright best in positions? No way.

 

Never seen that phrase used, always best in their position.
You do know that whoever you are linked with are always seen as back-ups to existing players too?

 

Then maybe you need to read more carefully.

Who’s that then? Martial and Zaha? Because they would be backups. Son is easily better than them.

 

Any striker that could get into your team?

 

I don’t get it. Are you suggesting we’ve been after a striker that’s better than Kane? Unless we’re chasing Dybala/ Cavani/ Lewandowski/ Suarez, then yeah, whoever we’re linked with will be a back up to Kane.
