Juventus often sign players who are running their contracts down, wouldn't surprise me if he ended up there. Bayern could also do with a centre back as Boateng is finished.

I just can't see Toby staying, a huge deal awaits him in the Summer. He's a £40-£45 million defender available for £25 million. Any club signing him will save money on the transfer fee, but Toby and his team will take the £20 million saved by asking for higher wages/signing on bonus. Smart business from his team, but we do lose out.

As long as he doesn't join the Mancs/Liverpool I won't mind where else.

Is there a possibility he could run down his contract and see out its final year with us?

I'm hanging on to this as a possibility. What a player. He's the type of defender I wanted to see retiring with us. He can easily play for 3-4 more years.

He knows that our fans love him and would prefer if he signed a new contract with us. On that basis, I doubt that he would be disrespectful enough to join our bitter rivals. He’d have lots of choices if he does end up leaving us in the summer.

Other than his father being greedy, Toby was willing to sign a new contract with us.

Sol wasn’t.

Another reason - Arsenal we’re winning stuff and we were an above average team back then.
Things have changed a lot since then.

Potentially they do but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if Chelsea and latterly Man City if they also get one, appeal against it and get it overturned.

Im clingingon to the fact the Atletico's didnt, would be murders if the English teams got off and they didnt

can I just ask: I’ve seen a couple of times people saying Poch would leave if Toby stays. Where is that coming from?

I think some old ITK from last season when Toby wasn't playing. But obviously isn't always correct so a pinch of salt needed to begin with. And things do appear to have changed - Toby is now playing very regularly so you have to imagine things are at least okay between him and Poch now.
