Why is it ridiculous? You’re all getting the hump because fans of other teams are telling you who your best players are, like only you would know. What is the difference?
No. You can believe what you want. If you think Toby's better then good for you. But don't act like it's only because he's leaving that Spurs fans are saying Jan is better when that isn't the case
There is a reason though. We’ve all had to listen to majority of Spurs fans tell us he’s the best CB in the PL/world and now all of a sudden he’s worse than not only Vertonghen but Sanchez according to some of you.
It just smacks of sour grapes. Obviously not all of you will be in that boat but I’d wager a vast majority.
Pretty sure it was one guy who said Sanchez was better. Toby fully fit is better than him for sure, although I'd be surprised if that the case within 2 years
And it's hardly been Spurs fans trying to propagate this idea that Toby is the best in the world. Firstly that would be a small minority because I've never seen that personally. 'One of the best' more so
Secondly after his fantastic 15/16 season it was almost universal among pundits and fans that he was one of, if not the best CB in the PL, a player admired by many regardless of what Spurs fans said
So much so that despite 2 seasons in a row with Vertonghen being superior, the overall consensus among non Spurs PL fans has remained that Toby is better. Which isn't true
It's gonna be a really good signing for United if it goes through. United have desperately needed a leader at the back that can organise their defence and that's what they'll be getting.
He picked up 2 long term injuries recently but I remember Vertonghen going through something similar at the same age.
At 29 he still has another 3-4 years in him at his best. Fee is high but I guess United can afford it.
Good deal for Spurs as well as they finally get some money to spend. But they really shouldn't be strengthening a rival.

Toby was signed for 12 million and he’s a top defender but he wouldn’t sign a new contract so poch played verts and Sanchez as his preferred cb’s.
It’s a shame Toby is going but that’s life
The reported fee is a good deal for us and united get a top player that if he stays fit will improve them.
I’ve got no I’ll feeling towards Toby and will clap him if he comes back to the lane.
Verts has out performed Toby for the last 2 seasons.
Wahl your united team are getting a good player
Don’t agree 65 million is nothing
Player won’t sign a new contract and can go for 25 million soon and we have a new stadium to pay for.
A fit Toby is the best CB in the division in my opinion.
That has been the problem though.
In 15/16 he was immaculate.
Jan has been widely recognised as the better player over the last 2 seasons though. Mainly because Toby only managed 30 games in 16/17, and just 14 last season.
€65m for Alderweireld is an amazing deal.Spurs should bite their hands off before they decide to waste their money on Boateng instead.
What makes me laugh is that despite being told how ridiculous it is supporters of other clubs keep telling us who our best defenders are. We watch the team closely everytime they play and are therefore in a much better position to judge.
If Toby was about to join Liverpool I'm sure Utd fans would be saying he was an injury prone hasbeen.
He will be a great rightback for United
If United can get a couple of largely injury free seasons out of Toby then he is a great signing. I suspect they won't considering he has missed lengthy periods in 3 of the last 4 seasons when he was at his peak.
Spurs fans doth protest too much.
Bending over for Utd again
100% guarantee nearly every Spurs fan would be gutted to see Alderweireld leave Spurs to come to us. He is way better than Sanchez despite the fact Sanchez played a lot more last season. Laugh at 65m all you like as fans do you really care? It's what your players do on the pitch not how much money you have in the bank. It would strengthen us and weaken you lot. End of

Spurs fans will be more desperate when we take their best defender and they get nothing
Well, they have cheese
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You taking vertonghen too?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh is Vertonghen better than Alderweireld now? When did that happen?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Same time trippier and walker-peters became better than walker
Toby - fit and on form is the best CB in the league. Toby hasn't been fit or on form for a while now so Jan is the best CB we have. Gutted he's going as I'm sure he'll get his fitness and form back. His partnership with Jan was perfection too.

This is about right. Jan has been your best defender recently but he’s not a better player than Toby when both are fit and on form.
Question is whether Toby can regain his fitness.

How United fans can't see that they would be better off trying to buy Sanchez, De Ligt, Koulibaly for the money that's being touted is beyond me.
£65m for Belgiums Mr Glass Ankles, at age 29 and barely played since Janhonestly Tarkowski would be a better long term bet
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would love to get Utd fans views on this.
