Ive been very used to the idea of Alderweireld going, and quite comfortable with it.
He hasnt been playing especially well, and seemingly was actively looking to go - so, fine I guess?
Since Mourinho has been in though he has looked much more engaged and his performances have been steadily improving.
So at this point Im quite happy with him signing on, it gives us security in our options at the back and means we have less work to do on that area of the squad the next couple of windows.
Ill be absolutely delighted to see Vertonghen follow suit.
Some will say this indicates the problem was Poch. Others that it was Levy and Mourinho is leveraging his position to get more out of the tightwad.
We'll never know, most likely, and its just not important.
The squad is stronger with a rejuvenated Alderweireld in it.
