Alderwiereld over Koulibaly? Surely some mistake. The cost difference is enough to buy a top player. If it's Alderwiereld (25) and Ndombele (50) for 75, or Koulibaly for 75, then the former is a much better proposition. Toby has alighted the Schneider train imo. |

Toby has alighted the Schneider train imo. Morgan was a good player who couldn’t step up. Toby has been the best CB in England for a number of years. There’s no comparison. At all. |

I didn’t mean him it was a reference to Wesley who we were linked with forever but it never happened. I think our time for Toby has passed. The gimps were balking over signing him last season. He’s a year older now I would be amazed if it happened. |

I'm Only for signing older players if they are going to realy push us on, Toby fits that criteria even to get 2 years out of him bringing lindelof on even further its worth it, it also allows us to maybe spend a bit more money on a RW which we need just as bad.

I'd imagine Dave is waiting to see if Mata and/or Herrera stay. He loves it here but having his pals surely helps matters He wants more money. No player is going to move because of his tag team. If giving Mata another year meant signing Dave for 5 years then I would be all over it... |

I didn’t disagree but I’m not convinced a player who we could and should have got last season is happening. |

Last summer we had moany arse in charge throwing his toys out. Spurs also wanted 50 million. No buyout clause. This summer we’ll have either Ole or Poch in charge. There’s a buyout clause of 25 million. Unless the new guy really doesn’t rate Toby or desperately wants Koulaiby (who’ll be around 90 mill), then why do you think this isn’t going to happen? |

Not according to Andy Mitten he was available for less than that but we swerved . I think it was on a Podcast he did a while back. I’m also not convinced like some that these new player contracts for some of our defenders mean we are moving them on. |

Mitten seems to be the only one with that info. Everyone else said 50. Why would Levy have accepted say 35 for arguably the best CB in England when Leicester are demanding 75 for Maguire? Makes no sense.

Makes no sense. Did we even bid for Maguire or did the press talk it up ? I do think it was us who put in a large bid for the player we are continually linked with. I read recently that a lack of trophies might put him off? May be more bull though? |

He comes across as an intelligent reasonable bloke not someone with an axe to grind. We know for certain we swerved on a couple of the big names, one who’s gone to Barca according to one of our ex scouts! There’s plenty of antidotes of players we swerved so we all know these rumours are possibly true. |
