Toby Alderweireld


Transfermarket view (not claiming accuracy), btw if we really had Toby for 6 years for effective €3M (plus wages), fudging hell that was a steal.

He really was the dogs pods. Numerous games where he played like Pirlo spraying balls around setting up goals. He wasn't always perfect, he had off games. Wasn't the best in the air. But he had a voodoo knack as well. Could put off players, and niggle them just enough. Still we move on!
 
That one error being the penalty in his first game then. I was thinking of that yesterday, and I couldn’t recall any other big mistakes at all.

Start as you mean to finish I guess. He also conceded a penalty in his last game for us against Leicester on the final day. But your point still stands, he didn’t make many mistakes.
 
Him and Jan were such a great partnership, complemented each other perfectly.

So many good performances from Toby, great memories but I think he was in decline, didn't quite have the quick awareness he used to and was slightly out of position for a few goals. Probably saved a fair bit on wages now as well.

The last bit is key. Even if the fee was as low as £3m, that’s about another £12m saved in last two years of his contract.
 
I think a lot of our fall from grace is down to him and Verts ageing. They were both top class players and worked brilliantly together. Losing both around the same time has given us huge issues which as of now have still not been resolved.

Yep. Neither have been replaced and now we have to put up with fudging Dier and Sanchez. It’s like going from Kane to Frazier Campbell.
