Toby Alderweireld

Should've done better for that own goal, but his goal at the other end more than outweighs it. Best strike you'll see from a centre back this season!

Just to be clear, that quote is about the club's tactics around his contract, not Poch's tactics.

I don't think there is anything in there we wouldn't have known. Poch was all about the collective so if someone did something he thought went against the interests of the team, they were out. Mourinho, on the other hand, seems to be able to man-manage better (at least initially).

Good to see Toby didn't and wouldn't say anything negative about Poch.
 
Hoping we won't be seeing statuesque defending ...

‘A Toby Alderweireld statue? I thought it was a joke’

In Ekeren, the Antwerp suburb where Alderweireld was raised, a petition is gathering momentum for a removed statue of Leopold to be replaced by one of Alderweireld himself.

“I would never say, ‘This is a good time to put up a statue of me,’ because I don’t think I will ever deserve a statue,” says the defender, “but I think it’s good to look at the history and learn from it.

“It’s the same with history from the world wars. Of course, I’m disgusted about all the things that have involved racism and I will never understand it — but taking a statue down? I’m not going to get involved in that but all I will say is we have to look to that period and what went wrong so we never get in that situation again.”

He adds that when he heard about the idea of an Alderweireld monument, “I thought it was some kind of joke — people are actually signing the petition?

“If they really wanted to I would never say no because I would be honoured. But I will not sign my own petition! Of all the people who have, I think about 80 per cent are my friends.”

I find it a bit weird how most people on here seem to be completely writing Toby off. It’s not long ago he was considered by most to be one of the best CBs in the league, and he’s only just turned 31.

Best defender at the club IMO, couldn’t understand why he was on the bench while Dier was all over the place against Sheffield Utd. Happy with Toby and Sanchez against Bmth and Arse.
