I think Toby and Smalling (Utd) have been the two best central defenders of the season so far
I think Toby is a lot better than most people give him credit for.

Agree completely. As a number of other posters have said, it's the affect he seems to have had on Jan that is the best compliment to him! They complement each other very well.

I'm sure there are sides kicking themselves now
He has been nothing but class. Apart from giving the one away via Stoke he hasn't put a foot wrong. He basically plays a sweeper and just today's up everything like an efficient player. His goals have been massive too and I'm a big fan now. I wasn't sure if it was it hers making him look good at Southampton until I saw him play in midfield against us and he was their best player that day IMO

I was about to remark upon your adroit usage of compliment and complement when I noticed you fell for the old affect/effect trap.
Football? You want me to talk about football?
If I must ... I agree with your view that he has made the other players around him better. About the only downside to him is his haircut looks like it was modelled on a character from "Blackadder Goes Forth".

Dammit I hate affect and effect. I will do better next time!
As for the haircut, it's much better than some of the incarnations we have seen amongst footballers!
Commentator pointed out yesterday that he hasn't received a single yellow card this season. Just looked it up and he only got 3 for all of last season.
That's pretty impressive for a defender - I think King must be the last defender we had who was as good at not fouling.

They do and that is why I was overjoyed when we signed Toby, together they are the best pair of CB's in the Prem for me.

Dutch CB pairings are always great!

The guy has absolutely blown my mind. He has been that good. I hear he's wanted to play for us for a while too. So good, in fact, far far better than I gave him credit for being.

an absolute snip at twice the price.
Was he this good at Southampton or has the pairing with Vertoghen helped him improve as well?

And why did Madrid let him go?

He was good, but not close to what he is showing in a Spurs shirt at the moment IMO. Looks like his confidence has grown from game to game, and he knows Verts from they were kids. That, I guess, should be a very good start to form a partnership.
But I have to admit he has been a lot better then I thought when we bought him. And he scores from set pieces as well.
Long may it continue!
