70's Mike Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 been watching for over 54 years and starting to think that Toby is best defender we have ever had
Smirking_Saint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 I honestly think he is the best defender Ive seen. Said this the other day.
Ewell Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 I totally agree with you. Mark Wright is the only one who comes close for me. The problem is every club in the Prem is now looking at him with interest. Getting him to sign on the dotted line is probabaly the most important signing we will make. He is an 7\10 player ever week and often higher!
sentry Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Sign him up in Jan, dont wait to the end of the year. If I were RK I would be treating him to local ladies of then night, giving him rub downs, the works!
Delboy Dave Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Sign him up in Jan, dont wait to the end of the year. If I were RK I would be treating him to local ladies of then night, giving him rub downs, the works! Would you rub him down yourself?
Tom28 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 There's no doubt he is excellent, and he oozes composure and quality. However, the way our team is so well set up, and the protection the midfield give the back four, most centre backs would look good. Just look at Lovren this year. But he hasn't put a foot wrong all season, and his midfield performance against Arsenal away in the league was one of the best performances of the season. He would be a fantastic permanent signing.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Quality defender complements fonte perfectly
SaintSteve Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Top class defender with pace as well... somehow think Atletico will buy out the option and either keep him or sell at a much higher fee. Agree that its our organisation at the back that dictates that we concede very few goals.
Patrick Bateman Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 He's absolutely brilliant - he is the one player we should break the bank for. If we can offload Ramirez and Osvaldo (I presume we're still paying a contribution to their wages?), then he is the one player I'd love us to go all out for. I'd love to keep Bertrand too, but for Toby should be number 1 target. New contracts for Yoshida, Cork, Jay etc., plus another forward player or two and we have a squad. Would like another goalie, but hey, I'm not greedy ...
Lighthouse Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Being amongst the younger generation, Killer is the only player I've seen come close. Lovren looked like he could be that player this time last year but the second half of the season and his form for Lyon and Liverpool suggests otherwise. Would be over the moon if we can secure him permanently. More than halfway through the season and we have the best defence in the League. There aren't too many Saints players in history with that on their CV.

Would like another goalie, but hey, I'm not greedy ... Interested to know what the consensus is regarding the 'value' of Toby and Bertrand? Original suggestions were £6m and £10m Reckon these figures may have to be reviewed and will possibly impact on the budget available for other players Would be great to keep both players if finances allow
Saint Billy Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Toby and Bertrand need to be kept at all cost, lose those two and we are half the side we are atm.
Saint137 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Awesome, you get the feeling he could play almost anywhere. Huge coup if we can get him to sign.
farawaysaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Interested to know what the consensus is regarding the 'value' of Toby and Bertrand? Original suggestions were £6m and £10m Reckon these figures may have to be reviewed and will possibly impact on the budget available for other players Would be great to keep both players if finances allow We have a buy clause for Ryan at 8mill and Toby's clause is 6mill but his parent club can pull out by paying us a 1.5mill penalty IIRC.
croydonsaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 He is a fantastic player. He is certainly giving his best for us as he has said he would do. I do get the feeling that he is unlikely to stay. Hope I am wrong but that is my feeling.
Batman Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Koeman basically said that it is up to Toby if he stays. The club have made it clear we want to sign him. Guessing Toby is keeping his options open
nta786 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Koeman basically said that it is up to Toby if he stays. The club have made it clear we want to sign him. Guessing Toby is keeping his options open Target also added to this, saying he reaally wants Toby to stay
Gis Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 been watching for over 54 years and starting to think that Toby is best defender we have ever had Can't think of a better central defender, a real bonus for us this season. The team need 4th spot this season to keep him and Morgan.

Mr Saints Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Koeman basically said that it is up to Toby if he stays. The club have made it clear we want to sign him. Guessing Toby is keeping his options open Can't blame him if he waits to see where we end up, he's easily good enough for a Champions League side.
shurlock Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Has been excellent - makes defending look effortless at times. Is much better in the middle, though - today, thought he lost track of what was behind him: Carzola in the first half for his chance and then Sanchez in the second which drew a great save from Forster.

Saint Charlie Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Great (if true) and nice to see we are being proactive.
Patrick Bateman Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 If pnly this was not the Mirror, I might start to believe. Calling anyone to confirm this? Does the Mirror have any better or worse reputation than any other paper?
Turkish Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Sign is Tony, go on son. Hes just a boy whose intentions are good That's why we all call him Tony underwood

Miltonaggro Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Our two defensive loanees have been immense this season, immense. Sincerely hope we sign both on permanent deals in this window.
Saints foreva Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Really hope this is true but fear Athletico will end up auctioning him off in the Summer.
Patrick Bateman Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Tony wherever you may be You hate the scum from pompeee And he'll lead us all wherever we may be In ironing out Their wannabees clap clap clap clap clap

washsaint Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Calling K Billy or Guan: any truth in this? Would be an immense coup if true......truly a fantastic player.
Saint_clark Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 Aldeweireld, in defence (whole world in his hands). Why do so many people not join in with different chants? Tried my hardest to get "mane mane, mane mane, mane mane, mane mane, sadio-oh-oh" going to the old Billy Sharp tune only to be drowned out by f*cking seven nation army.
Wiggles31 Posted 1 January, 2015 Posted 1 January, 2015 One of the players of the season. Brilliant defender and would be a huge permanent signing.
Mattio Posted 2 January, 2015 Posted 2 January, 2015 If this is true it would be our best (and best value at 6.5m) signing since Rickie Lambert
corky morris Posted 2 January, 2015 Posted 2 January, 2015 The fella is top top quality. Sign him up ASAP.
iansums Posted 2 January, 2015 Posted 2 January, 2015 Someone I was speaking to in the Chapel yesterday said this was about to happen, I took it with a pinch of salt but maybe he was correct?
Sour Mash Posted 2 January, 2015 Posted 2 January, 2015 Hope and pray this happens, the bloke is top, top class. Whilst he could well attract a "bigger" club, he seems to be very much enjoying his football with us, enjoys working with Koeman and possibly wants to be settled for a couple of years of regular football, rather than having a repeat of Atletico Madrid. Would be fantastic news if this gets confirmed.
S-Clarke Posted 2 January, 2015 Posted 2 January, 2015 I think the club have every intention to make this happen, hopefully Toby can see this as a good place for him right now. He's utter class. Reads the game so well, positions himself so well, strong in the tackle, throws his body on the line. He's the ultimate defender. For £6m it makes the Lovren to Liverpool deal look utterly hilarious. (if it wasn't already funny enough!)
Turkish Posted 2 January, 2015 Posted 2 January, 2015 This guy is an excellent player Do you want much football pal? Paulo Maldini was an excellent player. Tony might have excellent games and he's very good but he's not an excellent player. Maldini was, where does he compare against Paulo Maldini?
Golden Balls Posted 2 January, 2015 Posted 2 January, 2015 Hope it's true. What a player he's been. Could probably go to a bigger club but risks not playing every week. If he likes playing, he may as well stay here for a bit.
saint77 Posted 2 January, 2015 Posted 2 January, 2015 Do you want much football pal? Paulo Maldini was an excellent player. Tony might have excellent games and he's very good but he's not an excellent player. Maldini was, where does he compare against Paulo Maldini? Total tosh from you as per usual
Turkish Posted 2 January, 2015 Posted 2 January, 2015 Total tosh from you as per usual ignore it then. I'm waiting to see what Noodles has to say on the subject, so but out sunshine.
