I think loads of teams have come in for him but he's constantly turned them down, holding out for a big signing on fee next year for a massive pay day I reckon
This. I feel he's boxed himself in now. By rejecting our improved terms, he has settled for lower wages in the last couple of seasons and banked on a huge signing on fee and wages when his release clause was activated or as a free agent next year.I think loads of teams have come in for him but he's constantly turned them down, holding out for a big signing on fee next year for a massive pay day I reckon
I don't think so. It's better for him NOT to spend 60 million, than to get 13 million in profit at this point. I think he understands this.I hope so. I'd rather keep him for 12 months and lose him for free next season than get 25 mil this season. I know Levy would probably disagree.
Gives Sanchez 12 months, develop Foyth, maybe give Dier some time there too.....
I disagree, Toby is a excellent defender and when he is paired with Verts it is a excellent combination. I like Sanchez but he needs another season as back up, Foyth also but he is more versatile and play anywhere in the back four.
Totally agree, although foyth is as versatile as verts & Toby as they can also play full back but no where as experienced obviously.
Just a thought that sprung to mind t'other day when hearing of tripps going & Rose staying at home to look for a new club is that Poch may be looking at playing 3 at the back which goes hand in hand with his statement of changing our formation this season. The only experienced fb left would be Davies who also covers cb & the inexperienced walker Peters. What do you guys think?

I'd never try and 2nd guess Poch but i just can't see us changing to a back 3 for the simple reason that if you look at the midfielders and attacking players we have and are about to buy, then realise that absolute guaranteed starters of that group have to be Winks (new contract), NDombele (record signing), GLC (2nd record signing), Kane and almost certainly Son. With a back 3 you've only got 1 more space to play either Dele or Eriksen, and that's before you even start to consider Sissoko, Moura and Lamela etc.
