Agree with a lot of what's been said already.

A club captain isn't necessarily the team's best leader (which in my opinion is Kane). Poch mentions many times in his book how good his relationship with Lloris is, including often texting/Whatsapp-ing each other. He's also one of the older players in the squad and certainly someone who inspires respect from players and coaches. Lastly, Lloris recently signed a contract to keep him here for the rest of his career.

Toby is a brilliant defender but I'm not sure he's still better than Jan, who's been our best and most consistent player for the last 2 years in my opinion.

I see our squad as in the following bands:

Elite tier: Kane.
Second tier: Lloris, Jan, Toby, Eriksen, Son, Dele.
Next tier: Rose, Wanyama, Dier, Sanchez.
Squad tier: Lamela, Aurier, Trippier, Davies, Winks, Sissoko, Llorente, Vorm.

I would structure wages accordingly, and breaking the bank for Toby means we'll have to pay players from that Second Tier a lot more. And we probably should.

wanyama is an absolutely key player, and should be in tier 2 imo.

badly missed so far this season.

Wow, I dunno what Davies & Aurier have done to Worcester to be treated like this

Be around 3 weeks should be fine imo. Maybe a bench position for the Liverpool game if all going well

----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s a hard decision for Poch but my guess is Sanchez although if we go back to the back 3 then it’ll be Dembele imo.

—-——-Lloris
—Toby Sanchez Verts
Aurier Waynama Davies
——-Eriksen Dele
———-Son Kane

Although then Dier missed out nice headache to have

Although atm Sissoko gets paid more than nearly all of them

Spurs fans are hilarious. Wanting to punish the loyal Lloris by stripping the captaincy from him to give it to someone being disloyal.

Using the captaincy as a bribe

Perhaps the captain should actually want to play for us, even without 200k a week

posted on 16/1/18

Think he'll be off, Poch won't see the point in paying toby 200k a week when he's such a big Dier fan.

Dier Sanchez Verts

Is what we'll see Next season I reckon

He's the best defender in a league that pays David Luiz 120k a week.

He's one of the best players at the club and hes allowed to want to be paid like it

How is Toby being disloyal?

And we won't pay. Thus you are correct he's likely to go.

I'll put it another way.

You'd better hope Son, Kane and Ali don't take the the same approach to market value, other wise they are all gone sooner or later.

If Toby is asking for 200k a week then he is slightly getting ideas above his station. If someone wants to pay him that then good luck to him.

He was in the team when we lost to Chelsea and Man United and is not the reason why we lost to Arsenal and Man City.

So you just made it up for attention

He’s negotiating a new contract as a player. He had no connection to us it’s a job and as such is looking to get a good deal.

This is nothing new

He's worth every penny. Best CB in the league for me. I hope we do get him off your hands for free.

How would you exactly get him for free? With his option he has 2.5 years left.

Once we activate the option anyone can get him for £25m which most top teams will be all over it.

This 200k a week talk is a figure made up by the papers. Would surely make him the highest-paid defender in world football. Pretty sure he’s not asking for that and I’m certain we wouldn’t pay him that. 130k sounds about right.
