beavis17 Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 Apparently, Toby has said he wants to join Spurs. I think it's over. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jul/07/toby-alderweireld-friends-spurs-atletico-madrid-southampton Who's Cuco Martinez?
shurlock Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 Hytner's a solid journo - very good links to the London, especially N. London clubs.
Saint IQ Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 One thing is for sure, Spurs and the bin dippers have made Man U more likeable For sure! Spurs and Liverpool's tactics the last two summers has been to disrupt our rise, I mean there's dozens of quality CB's, RB's, AM's, Target men, Head scouts and Managers all over the world but they had to purge ours. Spurs will have 6 first team CB's on there books if they don't sell any and Liverpool have nearly a dozen attacking midfielders!
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 Who's Cuco Martinez? Two signings in one day - bravo! I hope the coaching staff don't get confused by the similar names...
Jimmy_D Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 For sure!

Spurs will have 6 first team CB's on there books if they don't sell any and Liverpool have nearly a dozen attacking midfielders! From Spurs point of view, it makes perfect sense to go for Alderweireld, even with them having more than enough defenders already. We're actually a threat to them now, and as well as strengthening themselves, getting Toby puts a massive dent in one of the reasons for that. Not only that, but we don't get the compensation of the transfer fee for it either.

Not only that, but we don't get the compensation of the transfer fee for it either. Absolutely, Spurs defence was their weak point last season, too many silly goals conceded. It doesn't make any difference if you have 30 CBs on your books if they don't do the job. Toby and Vertonghen will (or should that be would) be a solid pairing for them and I'd expect a lot of the silly goals to be wiped out. For 16 million € Toby is, what is known in popular parlance,a no-brainer.
doddisalegend Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 We are not on the rise we had two good seasons with good players who want to move for more money and more chance of Silverware Haven't we risen every season since the take over what constitutes a rise then? The rise will come to an end but we have clearly been on the rise for the last few seasons.
beatlesaint Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 We are not on the rise we had two good seasons with good players who want to move for more money and more chance of Silverware To be pedantic we have actually had five good seasons........the rest of your post is right unfortunately !
Saint_Ash Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 We are not on the rise we had two good seasons with good players who want to move for more money and more chance of Silverware Erm, we have risen, quite a lot actually. Are you saying we've stopped rising?
vin Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 Thought Turnbull was pants when I watched him play for Swindon, Stephens has got the better chance in my opinion. Suspect both will be loaned out again next season Turnbull must have been doing something right: http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/swindon_town_2014/12940507.Turnbull_voted_Adver_Player_of_the_Year/ http://www.flicwiltshire.com/STFC/Jordan-Turnbull-has-been-crowned-YOUR-FLICs-STFC-201415-Player-of-the-Year.aspx
verlaine1979 Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 If he genuinely wants to sign for us, he probably will, and if he doesn't, he probably wont, as is usually the case with transfers. Everything else is just noise.
ErwinK1961 Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 Turnbull must have been doing something right: http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/swindon_town_2014/12940507.Turnbull_voted_Adver_Player_of_the_Year/ http://www.flicwiltshire.com/STFC/Jordan-Turnbull-has-been-crowned-YOUR-FLICs-STFC-201415-Player-of-the-Year.aspx Fair play to him, all I saw was him getting caught out of position and letting his men get goal side of him. Maybe they were isolated incidents, though I think CB is probably one of the hardest places to bring a youngster through

They decided not to defend at all during that game.
ErwinK1961 Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 Did you watch the play off game by any chance??? They decided not to defend at all during that game. Yeah that was a complete abomination of a defensive display (both the semi and final) I did see a few other games, plus have a mate who is a season ticket holder down there. He seemed to think that Stephens was a lot more comfortable on the ball and liked to get forward. Reckoned he would make a decent midfielder or RB/RWB
Saint IQ Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 (edited) As i said before this was pretty much a done deal at the weekend with Spurs. I'm not sure how the whole legal action will affect proceedings and nor are Spurs but they think he's their player - '99% done'. Will hopefully know more in the next couple of hours.

Saint IQ Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 If we want to push on and make the next level then Turnbull, Stephens and I have to say it Cocu is not the way to do it. Phillip? He's a bit too old now I agree, class in his day though

John B Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 Erm, we have risen, quite a lot actually. Are you saying we've stopped rising? Yep
angelman Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 If truth be told, surprised anyone really thought that he would be happy here over the 6 bigger clubs that finished above us if they came knocking. As I said earlier in the thread, platitudes are very easy to deliver, some are hollow some are not. Now we just have to wait for posts coming out saying that he was only good because of being paired with José (like Lolvren was).
Saint_Ash Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 Yep It is difficult with the resources we have to push further but I suppose some people will be very upset if we aren't in the top 6 this coming season.
maysie Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 I think we'll find that Toby was only good because of his pairing with José

newyork Posted 7 July, 2015 Posted 7 July, 2015 this is a complete ++++up. all the talk of being a well run club is down the swanny in my opinion. I think letting Toby go is just the type of crap that will rile Ron no end and add or probably negate any chance of him staying beyond his contract. Im sick after all the self congratulates i have heard after last summer that Less Reed could let this happen. I would far preferred we didnt even try and get him as he obviously (if he goes to spurs) is a complete knob head. The club need to buy Van Dyke from Celtic quick. I doubt they can do that as they wont offer enough money. Im completely fed up with all this sustainable talk coming from the club. It is not sustainable to weaken the team so others can catch up and all the players want to leave given any chance they get. To keep us sustainable we need to keep improving the signings. West Ham will improve over the next 5 years, Everton will keep on doing what they do. I expect i will get a load of flack off this forum for throwing the baby out of with the bath water and i hope i am completely wrong.I really hope I am wrong. I just want us to pull of another Kevin Keegan, i just want us to **** Spurs and liverpool.and Arsenal. I just want our young players to want to stay at the club longer than 1 season in the first team. I just want to win something not celebrate 7th. I want the club to strengthen in Jan if we are looking good like last season. I want Ralf to bring some friggin money in!!!! I want cheaper tickets, I want us to adopt Sailing as an anthem at St Marys. Im fed up and i hold the club responsible - Les Reed - Ralf Kruger and Kat. Stop all our staff leaving - pay them the money to stay. Paul mitchel had obviously down loaded all our targets, that legal officer who went obviously cocked up on Tobys contract. All the bull**** i hear 'thank you southampton, thank you' then they are off- its utter crap. Only a few players deserve to be sung, Fonte is one of them, yosheda is another maybe long maybe bertrand, . Big Vic is itching to leave we need to tie him down and buy Claise and Cabaye. we need to do this to keep Ron happy he is the only honest one amongst them all. He says it like it is. He will work his contact and then go to Barca or Holland. If the club are not going to spend money on players then cut the ticket price simple. If my local cafe is not going to serve top restaurant food they cut the price and serve the full english and the place is packed with everyone happy. **** **** ****
