Toby wanting to stay is important....without that nothing would happen, but Saints and his agent have to seriously work on Atletico. It will come down to money....can't see why he is suddenly absolutely essential to them when he wasn't before. It's always the money.
Yes indeed. I suspect that our option to buy at £6.8M will simply be renegotiated and I certainly wouldn't be unhappy if we wound up paying >£15M for him. He's worth every penny based on this season.Agree, we say that £15m-£20m players don't want to come here, but here we have a player who wants to come here and that's over half the battle. We have the money and I see no reason why this can't happen.
If Atletico rated him that highly they would not have loaned him out.
Sign toby, keep Clyne, bring jay back, add Clasie, Vilhenna, Austin and a keeper while losing Morgan, Ramirez, Osvaldo and some other filler players. What a window that would be.
Takes a pretty mean free kick too!Have to agree. So copmposed always looks totally in control.
It would be a pity for him to go elsewhere.....however if Saints have got an agreed option to buy for a pre agreed fee surely Atletico would have no choice but to sell toby to us?
Don't forget, football clubs are two faced weaselly weasels.
Atletico can pay us £1.5 mill to get out of that clause.It would be a pity for him to go elsewhere.....however if Saints have got an agreed option to buy for a pre agreed fee surely Atletico would have no choice but to sell toby to us?
