If he’s got no long term future then he shouldn’t be used and Poch is doing the right thing in playing Sanchez and Vert ahead of him.

Oh, so you want Spurs to lose on Saturday

Alderwiereld and Vertonghen are the best CB pair in the Prem, and maybe in Europe. We will see at the Wolrd Cup where they will play for Belgium.
Now, exactly WHY is it Toby is leaving?
Is it Pochettino's decision? Or is it Levy?
Toby made a demand for higher wages on a new contract. Levy said "too much". Toby said "that's what I'm worth". Levy said "I don't beleive in the current market prices". And so on .... impasse!
I would think Pochettino is not involved in such discussions.
Truth is Alderwiereld at 29 has maybe 2or 3 more years of top flight football. So I can see why he wants top dollar. And currently he's worth it! Thesedays he can go play in Manchester, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona and maybe Munich. But Levy doesn't want to pay.
So we're stuck with Sanchez and Aurier (or Trippier). And we WILL LOSE. Then Kane will want to leave - his agents will be telling him its time to move up and cash in!
And then ... why there's Vertonghen, Dembele (rumored to be leaving) Danny Rose, ...
And what about those second stringers, Lamela and Mora and ... they're good players too,
Maybe Levy will just have to pay, eventually, whether he believes in market prices or not.

BTW, some of you fans might like to know that Spurs are paying Sissoko 95K GPS per week with 5 years contract remaining.
Harry and Jan get 100,000/wk.
and Toby 75,000/wk.
Spurs rank 6th in the Prem in total wages per week.
Now I will say that if Sissoko is worth what he's getting in Levy's book (and he paid!) then quite a few Spurs salaries should doubled!

Ted, get a grip, Spurs went unbeaten for four months domestically with Verts and Sanchez. Toby is a good player, but he came back against Brighton, and did Spurs win?

Us not winning Vs Brighton had nothing to do the with defense... another moment of madness from Serge I grant you, but Toby played great, had Murray in his pocket !. The reason we didn't win that game was because we had Sissoko FFS in midfield, Eriksen having an off day & a clearly unfit & rusty Kane

But Ted is saying that Spurs lose when Sanchez and Verts play together and win when Toby is playing. I was just pointing out that neither of those statements are correct.
Toby did play OK, but not to say Sanchez would not have either.

this. Some people are a bit blinded when it comes to Sanchez. If he was 10 years older he'd be compared to kaboul

Come on mate! He's only 21! If this logic was applied to others near that age then Kane would be no better than Kevin Davies, and Bale no better than Aaron Cresswell. I fully expect him to be a better player than Kaboul given the potential in him. Plus he's actually done well this season.

Yeh, but he is not 10 years older is he. 21 year old, played most of the games, in his first season. He has done really well. The same supporters who moan about Sanchez are those that moan about Dele, and you could see how the team performs, when he is not in the side as against Brighton.
To compare a 21 Sanchez to a 31 year old Kaboul is a total nonsense.

Sandy, you are somewhat confused about what I am saying.
Let me spell it out for you:
1. Alderweireld is one hell of a lot better CB than Sanchez.
2. We can win "some" matches with Sanchez.
3. But we have a far better chance of winning the tough matches with Alderweireld.
4. If we really want a top 4 or better team the back 4 has to be at the level it was last season - before Walker left.
Now, I will leave you with the chore of figuring out how Levy is going to achieve point 4.
