Toby Alderweireld

I think he wants to stay and money might not even be the issue, Perhaps the length of the contract? maybe he wants 5 years and we are only offering 2 or 3
 
Considering? My word. He’s our best CB along with Jan by a mile. Unless we have someone better in the squad (which we don’t) then we should be doing more than considering giving him a new contract.
My sentiments exactly, the only scenario I can think of where we didn’t want to negotiate was if he had overplayed his hand by trying to squeeze more after accepting an offer. This led to his prolonged absence post injury but our inability to sell him / his refusal to leave in the summer, continued good attitude in training and an understanding that we’d be cutting our nose off to spite our face has meant his reintegration into the team.
I know it’s the hope that kill you but if he does somehow sign a new deal if he pretty sure he would have turned down a few big money offers from Europe’s elite, genuinely think he’d strengthen any team in Europe. If he does go, domestically is bad enough as strengthening a rival but if he goes to another London club that would be unthinkable.
