How bad must Toby's recovery be, that he didn't even get a spell on the pitch on Saturday? We are 3-0 up and Sanchez gets a Yellow. Here we go, I'm thinking, Toby's going to come on for 20 mins to test his fitness out, but no such change happens.
As for Wanyama, he wasn't even on the bench!
Are these two struggling to reach Poch's required match fitness levels, or have they both just fallen so far down the pecking order?
Winks is a third one, although I get why he is behind 3 or 4 others at the moment - including Sissoko! (never thought I'd say that)
Injury recoveries - Toby and Vic

Vic started against Bournemouth, so wouldn`t read too much into that.

I'm sure both will be back, at the moment Sanchez and Jan are playing so well it would be hard to break up the partnership

We had Dembele on the bench so didn’t need Waynama too tbh
Toby was strange but maybe as he only came back from his set back on Tuesday they didn’t want to risk him.
He’s off with Belgium now anyway so should get good match time.

Reckon Darth is playing games Re Toby, suspect he might be trying to deter suitors by quoting huge numbers for a player we don't want to lose while everyone is aware that his fitness is an issue, plus the fact he's 29 ! We then wait for United to Spunk a bln quid on the next Lindeloft and then we resign him on a contract that suits us. Got a sneaky feeling we are doing something similar with Rose

hope they both stay with us at least for another season, after full pre season getting up to speed. If either were unhappy and we sell to a rival like walker to city i would be fuming

No need to worry. Spurs has done just fine without Alderweireld who's having just an average season when he played. Sanchez is doing a good job. Wanyama is a miss, but I like Dier.

Hopefully Toby stays until summer 2019, by which time Sanchez is read to take over from Toby long term and all we need to do is sign a decent third choice centre back.

Why would Wanyama have fallen down the pecking order? He only played about 9 days ago. Not too sure why Alderweireld didn’t get to stretch his legs for 15-20 mins or so. I’d like to think that Poch isn’t weak enough to let contract negotiations determine his team selections.

Does anybody on this board know what is going on between spurs and Toby??
Is he still on the Spurs roster?
I hope he puts in a really good shift with Belgium.
