Not sure how I’d react to this. Davi was one of my highlights of the season seeing him grow and how he performed at the World Cup, England game especially. Toby looks either mentally or physically scared from his hamstring tear. I don’t feel like Davies and Trippier are good enough in the Poch system to play as wing backs which rules out the 5 at the back. He or Davi then become rather high value assets sitting on the bench
Foyth is really Jan’s Understudy. Hopefully he will play some more games this season.
If the Toby stuff comes off then we certainly won’t need any CH’s which is excellent.
Whatever Toby said or did to upset everyone, he at least had the good sense to keep it in-house. Everything he’s said publicly has been ok.
From a pragmatic perspective it makes no sense to get rid of a world class defender who wants to stay only for us to spend just as much on a downgrade on a point of principle. Would be a huge boost if he committed to us for the next four years. We’d written it off in our heads so it would genuinely feel like a brilliant new signing.
I love when you’re in the authoritarian mode. Your nice mode on this thread is just weird. Authoritarian mode means everything is right in the world.OK I've cleaned it up, forget it happened and move along. Thank you
Jan Vertonghen says hi.Toby staying would really be, excuse the cliche, like a new signing.
Sexiest defender in world football, bar none.
we have got a bunch of good looking defenders...and TrippierI love when you’re in the authoritarian mode. Your nice mode on this thread is just weird. Authoritarian mode means everything is right in the world.

Well he is hardly likely to come out and say he has acted like a tosser, is he.
I’m not sure it’s clear at all. Given what numerous ITKs have implied, it sounds like he genuinely intended to sign a new contract but took the dirty tactics too far in negotiations, leading to his relationship with Levy/ Poch becoming untenable.I think it’s clear he wanted/wants to leave. His post WC comments were non-committal at best.
But if we can make him happy to stay, it’ll benefit everyone.
Because it was clarified as Toby a few posts later....why does everyone seem to think the “ITK” was about toby?
