PLEASE.


DTLW

 

According to the mirror.

 

Oooh come on Toby!!

 

Please let this happen Athletico, we'll even give you some Watches, a Garmin GPS and Mayuka as a free bonus.

 

This would be a spectacularly good signing.

 

I've no idea who actually posted first but Osvaldorama doesn't start many threads so I've merged to his. Sorry DTLW!

 

Not surprised at all that we have activated the agreed fee, would be very surprised if he actually signs permanently though. Hopefully the stuff about him wanting to stay is true.

 

Haha, it was pretty much exactly the same time! I was amazed that I'd got there before DTLW to be honest. Either way - it will be dreamland if he signs!

 

Yes please. Make it happen.

 

The article implies he wants to come here and we want him to join.
If true then it should happen in theory...

There were obviously reasons Ateltico chose not to play him and to let him leave. And just because he has played (very) well in a different league there is no reason why they should change there mind and want to keep him

 

he's the best player i've ever seen play for us

 

Come on Toby, you know you want to.

 

A superb player and I'm sure some will debate that with you, but what I find so satisfying is that we don't have any poor players at the moment. Never been able to say that before.

 

Umm Mayuka?

Edit: oh you said players.

 

for reference, i started watching in the 2001/2002 season

 

PLLLLEEEEEEAAAASSSSSSEEEEEE SIGN TOBY!

 

Poor mayuka. Every time he comes on I think "this could be the day he does a Jonno".

 

I think he has been solid in defence this season yet seeing him switch to midfield has been an eye-opener. His vision and distribution has, at times, been as good as Morgan's. I really hope he stays.

On the Arsenal board someone posted a suggestion that Calum Chamber's ability as a utility player should be lauded yet I think I would consider Alderweireld's performances this season to be markedly better than young Chambers who was only just learning his trade last season. I can't say I've seen a great deal of his play at Arsenal but I think Toby is the more complete player. Given the lack of cover at right back, it is good that he is around. Along with Morgan, Davis and Wanyama, I think he has stood out for us so far this season.

 

Please Toby
