beavis17 Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Journo from the Sun: @BFairthorne: Levy been in Spain today to try and conclude deal for Alderweireld. Southampton also interested, but Spurs remain in pole position. Would Levy really need to go there personally? Ben Fairthorne @BFairthorne Jun 28 United have agreed fee with Saints & personal terms with Schneiderlin. Wasn't LVG's first choice but good long term replacement for Carrick. He also said this...

Matthew Le God Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Journo from the Sun: @BFairthorne: Levy been in Spain today to try and conclude deal for Alderweireld. Southampton also interested, but Spurs remain in pole position. His bio says... Worked for CNN, Base Soccer, The Sun, The Mail, IPC Media, Nuts Magazine and Frank PR. Worked at football agency with predominately Arsenal and Spurs players. The Sun Daily Mail Nuts magazine Quite a trustworthy CV then! Plus "Worked at football agency with predominately Arsenal and Spurs players", so a North London bias to his work then.

angelman Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Would be interesting to see a table of journo's and how often their story is accurate.

If Fairthorne is right about that, then that would mean Koeman lied in his interview on 29th June when he said there have been no serious offers. I think its more likely Fairthorne hasn't a clue.

Convict Colony Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 If Fairthorne is right about that, then that would mean Koeman lied in his interview on 1st July when he said there have been no serious offers. I think its more likely Fairthorne hasn't a clue. Yeah the BASED bit is a give away he's guessing Ben Fairthorne @BFairthorne Jun 28 Arsenal not had the interest expected in Schneiderlin. Based on previous 2 seasons, one expects he has somebody else lined up. Ben Fairthorne @BFairthorne Jun 20 Both Carvalho and Schnneidein on Wenger's hit list. Personally think MS would be the better option.

I think its more likely Fairthorne hasn't a clue. Koeman might not regard an offer under a certain value to be "serious", that doesn't mean the offer didn't exist.
Matthew Le God Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 And can't spell "predominantly" either? Or was that you? It is him, I copied and pasted directly from his twitter account and put it in speech marks. You have to wonder how little it takes to get a place on journalism degree course these days.
Matthew Le God Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Koeman might not regard an offer under a certain value to be "serious", that doesn't mean the offer didn't exist. Fairthorne said the day before Koeman's interview that an offer had been accepted, if it had been accepted then it is clearly taken seriously.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Poster on Not606 saying he's heard there's some positive news re Toby coming to us & it "very much" looks like he'll be signing. No idea if he's a good source but the regulars seem to think he is.

For this subject I am ITK, my daughter graduated last summer.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Just pumped £10 on toby to sign for us at 6/4. I expect betting to be suspended shortly Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk

simo Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Let's hope after all this if he does sign he doesn't end up like some signings who sign a permanent deal after a loan!

Saint_Ash Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Blind optimism or insider dealing??? More like tempting fate
SuperSAINT Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Talk about old news...this was reported weeks ago! Just shows how journos will use anything for a new story. This is the way with the media today. Places are (even today) saying "United make £20m bid for Schneiderlin" headlines.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Blind optimism or insider dealing??? Just my gut feeling unfortunately. I think Saints wanna get Toby signed up before they sell Morgan to soften blow hence why Morgan to Utd is dragging on.
Toadhall Saint Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 4 out of 4 for you if it does.. Is he at it again? [emoji6]
Redslo Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Blind optimism or insider dealing??? As an attorney I advise you not to answer that question.
sotonist Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Actually it takes quite a lot, decent A-Level grades. For this subject I am ITK, my daughter graduated last summer. it's moot anyway as he doesn't appear to have an education. https://www.linkedin.com/pub/ben-fairthorne/59/642/aa8
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Sky Sports reporting Toby Alderweireld has been phoned personally by Saints boss Ronald Koeman and is now close to joining Southampton.. Lifted from a Spurs fan on Twitter. Anyone catch this on Sky? If true, go Ronnie!
brett24 Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Jim Lucas favorited a tweet asking what time Toby was being announced! It's happening lol!
Appy Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Lifted from a Spurs fan on Twitter. Anyone catch this on Sky? If true' date=' go Ronnie![/quote'] Hasn't been on Sky.
JakkoUK Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Not sure the personal phone call means much, as its up to A Madrid.. Thought Alderweield wanted a permanent to Saints anyway and was just waiting for Southampton and Atletico to come to an agreement price wise.

If we have had a bid accepted by AM the the phone call us very important!

Saint Matty 76 Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Jim Lucas favorited a tweet asking what time Toby was being announced! It's happening lol! This is interesting, considering we're such a professional club usually I think it must have been a mistake.
Saint Charlie Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 (edited) @BFairthorne: Alderweireld talks have been very positive today. Levy confident he will become a Spurs player within next two weeks. He is probably a WUM. Edit: Seems he got fired by the Daily Star for continually making up quotes. Quite funny actually if you google him. Edited 3 July, 2015 by Saint Charlie
brett24 Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Spurs fans claiming that Toby will sign for them, pretty confident.
Roboze Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 If Toby wants to remain at saints, thet cant force him to go to spurs, so its really up to him..
S-Clarke Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Spurs fans claiming that Toby will sign for them, pretty confident. They're just going on the re-hashed stories in the press. The actual Spurs people who claim to be ''ITK'' on their forums don't believe it's happening, or ever was. I stand by my opinion that all this Spurs ******** is agent/atletcio spin. Nothing more, nothing less.
Saint Benali Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Downside of doing loans. If the player does well means more interest from other clubs. Should of done permanent deal in January like we did for Bertrand.
CB Fry Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 Downside of doing loans. If the player does well means more interest from other clubs. Should of done permanent deal in January like we did for Bertrand. Clearly we would have done that if we could.
broken spoke Posted 3 July, 2015 Posted 3 July, 2015 we might have tried that, but were told "no".... so we took what could get in the circumstances. No fault to SFC, Toby played a binder, around injuries. He's really good but has weak hamstrings... Apart from that I do rate him, he brings a calmness to our defence, it's a joy to watch him with Fonte....
JxgrSaint Posted 4 July, 2015 Posted 4 July, 2015 (edited) "@BelgoFoot: It looks like Anderlecht's Chancel Mbemba is off to Atletico once Toby Alderweireld decides which Premier League club he fancies." Replacement lined up - decision soon? Edited 4 July, 2015 by JxgrSaint
LVSaint Posted 4 July, 2015 Posted 4 July, 2015 Downside of doing loans. If the player does well means more interest from other clubs.
