There is a lot more to the Toby story than you guys will ever know which sounds inflammatory but put it this way, I dont expect him to be at the club next season and if he gets a new contract then i dont expect Poch to be there....
So it sounds like he’s burnt his bridges but is simply too good not to play. Suspect Eriksen will be following him out the door this summer.
Some rebuild job ahead.
We need to invest in decent, promising, hungry players in their early twenties and be prepared to meet the associated fees as wellToby, Eriksen & Dembele all being off in a 6 month time frame is going to be fucking brutal to bounce back from. I don't see how we could even get back to how good we were and we still couldn't win any trophies with them...
Personally we know that we need new full backs too and a CM maybe 2- Eriksen is replaceable as are the full backs.Toby, Eriksen & Dembele all being off in a 6 month time frame is going to be fucking brutal to bounce back from.

I love Sanchez as a young developing player, but he’s not remotely close to Toby’s standard yet-he’s not consistent enough for a startNo notions about Eriksen, but Sanchez is now getting close to Alderweireld's standard.
And I expect Foyth next season to be about where Sanchez was last season.
We've had Alderweireld's best years. There are replacements already on board, plus the prospect of spending, as we did on Sanchez, when the opportunity to get value and youth is there.
It’s a JJ party!!!!!Personally we know that we need new full backs too and a CM maybe 2- Eriksen is replaceable as are the full backs.
with good players being worked on- in saying that we had an agreed deal for De Jong last summer only for his #***** agent to renege at the 11th hour! We had Pulisic at the training ground for 2 days in January only for Chelsea to do their usual on us on money.Personally we know that we need new full backs too and a CM maybe 2- Eriksen is replaceable as are the full backs.

Eriksen is replaceable if you’re willing to pay a lot of money for it.Personally we know that we need new full backs too and a CM maybe 2- Eriksen is replaceable as are the full backs.
How much will we make from those sales? £25m for Toby, £60-70m for Eriksen? Plus the £11m for Dembélé and odds and sods from other departures. There's going to be a not inconsiderable amount to be chucked back in and the core of the squad is stronger than last time we needed a significant refresh.Yup. Was listening to the Fighting Cock podcast this evening and they were all talking about how close we are to a trophy and that next season, lads, believe.....
But it ain't gonna happen with the Great Dane and Toby Hair Gel going unless we spend like Liverpool. Which we won't.
*sigh*
The fullbacks are no doubt replaceable and I think theres very good candidates for those slots. So glad to hear that the club is talking about that. Eriksen and Toby leaving really scares me but I know there are players out there that can offset those losses.Personally we know that we need new full backs too and a CM maybe 2- Eriksen is replaceable as are the full backs.
Mate Sanchez is far far away from Toby standard. He’s closer to foyth than TobyNo notions about Eriksen, but Sanchez is now getting close to Alderweireld's standard.

or buy N'Dombele which we also thought we were close to last summer until Aulas went and slapped a 75M price on himThe fullbacks are no doubt replaceable and I think theres very good candidates for those slots. So glad to hear that the club is talking about that. Eriksen and Toby leaving really scares me but I know there are players out there that can offset those losses.
If we lose Eriksen for 75mil but can bring in Berge, Lozano & Fornals with that money I think we can come out ahead. But those are probably dreams.
