What's with the 25m release clause for next year that is mentioned in the article? I thought his contract ended in 2019?
He has a year extension that Spurs can activate.
Well we weren't this season either. It comes down to that old adagio where people are laughing because Sarri's won nothing, don't want Poch he's won nothing! Dont want this and that guy he's won nothing! You have to look at the context of the situations the managers are in. Bayern have just recruited Niko Kovac, who as a manager has won absolutely nothing in his career apart drom the Pokal he just won the other day. Yes Sarri will get Chelsea playing awesome football, no they might not be successful. But well we've done feck all this season as well whilst the majority of time playing like the plan is to suck out the enjoyment from every supporter watching the match.
1 year left on his contract and 55m? No way that’s true. We got Sanchez for 35m
We don’t pay almost record breaking fee for a 29 year old cb with an expiring contract

Its May wtf are yoiu on about?
Contract ends in 2019 but Spurs have option to extend for one year, in that case the release clause would be 25 Million.
Really not feeling it this Muppet Season; hopefully just post-final blues
Its the Mirror
So the context is let's get rid of an old dinosaur and get any attacking manager?
As for Niko as happy as I am cause he's one of mine there are lots of Bayern fans not happy with what appointment.
We got Snachez for free, in exchange for an out of favour player we bought for £27m.
'Almost pay a record breaking fee' - £55m is nowhere near £75m.
It’s got feck all to do with the Mirror (there’s hardly a tabloid I pay less attention to in general than that rag).
Ridiculous fee, but what did I expect?
55m for a Spurs squad player? I mean he's better than Jones and Smalling, but 55m??!
Sorry I meant record breaking for a centre back.
Also many swap deals are player + money. We didn’t pay money because Sanchez was worth around 30m cos his contract was running out at the end of the season
Willian is a decent player but not sure about us signing him. Would rather us go for Bale
I would rather we try and get Koulibaly from Napoli than Alderweireld.
He's the hipster manager of the season.People being worried that Chelsea might get Sarri, the manager who has won feck all in his career.
Chances are the 55 million includes everything from his medical, his salary to the cost of ironing his jersey!
The context is to get someone in who at least has us playing entertaining football because if Mourinho's not winning trophies then what exactly is he good for, if the rumours are true and there's massive squad discontent and we know how Mourinho is by experience then next seasons already looking like a meltdown waiting to happen.
Koulibaly for 105 million?
Also for a guy his size, he is meh in the air
What rumours are those?
Sounds about right, did people really think Spurs would let him go cheap to a Top 4 rival? Considering they can extend his contract for one more year. Sanchez fee was cheap but his wages will probably be double what Toby will get.
But Bale is injury prone and plays on the left wing. We have enough options for the left wing as it is with Alexis, Rashford and Martial. We need someone for the right wing.
Toby is a muppet signing to have in the back but £55m for 1 year left? feck that
I would like to to have him as CB pair with Bailly but I would hope to get him for less than 105m ofcourse.
As far as I'm concerned, Toby is the perfect candidate. He compliments all our CBs very well whether it be Bailly or Smalling.
He's PL proven and will hit the ground running.
And I'm sure this 55 million is just a figure thrown around to make headlines
He technically has two years left on his contract.Toby is a muppet signing to have in the back but £55m for 1 year left? feck that
This is a genuine question as I know diddly squat about him.
Has he had all his teams playing great football for the last 10/15 years or is it just this particular collection of players?
Ok....its still May
Jumping to a very big conclusion there. He was applauding the crowd and then gave a young fan his match shirt, hardly doing a lap of honour on his own waving to everyone.
Unsure mate, I was sat at the opposite end of the ground so couldn't see what was going on exactly, hence I asked if it had been discussed on here before as I doubt it would have been on TV.
I would look at it more as an average defender is £25-40M and if he can add to our play what is missing from the back in terms of composure, anticipation added with top-level distribution then it is well worth it.
This is not over the odds especially considering the rates people are paying for defenders in the last 2 seasons. 10M "premium" is worth it when you consider the difference he would bring in terms of impact on the bottom line in terms of honours he is capable of contributing towards we should at the very least break even. There is no doubt he would improve us at the back with hopefully some bloody continuity we have been sorely missing in the CB pairing and overall familiarity/cohesion with the GK, Backline and confidence of our CM to move the ball effectively. Great teams are built on capable back lines.
Bloody hell that was a waffle and a half.
Ridiculous fee, but what did I expect?
The improvement to the team relative to the transfer fee just isn’t worth it.
Alderweireld is better than our CBs but unless we have Manchester City level of spending to splurge out - rather than our recently large, but capped budget in the last few years we should be looking to spend big on the priority positions. Fullbacks, a central midfielder, and a right sided winger should all be before a CB.
If there is a huge discontent within the squad then I'd rather we back Mourinho rather than the unhappy players. Some haven't prove anything that would suggest that they're worth defending let alone staying at the club. Its not like back when its players vs Moyes where the players are actual winners. The current lot haven't deserve their right to moan.
Mourinho was brought to steady the ship and actually build consistency and a winning mentality to the club and he's definitely done that. I'd back the manager on this one.
i doubt Mourinho is looking to spend 55m on Alderweireld if it has any kind of negative effect on other transfers. I might be wrong but i don't see us having a collective budget. I think we have a per player budget. As in, we need a centreback and a centre mid. We will pay max 60m for CB and 80m for CM. Something along them lines. I just cant see Mourinho handing Woodward a list of targets in which money spent on a centreback could be detrimental to a deal for a centremid.
In this market if you have a line on an elite defender, you lock that down. Even if it’s not your primary need.
Correct.
no way will we spend 55m on him, that has to be add ons, etc. if true - which I doubt it is.
Imo he can play on either wing. I know what you are saying though. We need an actual winger who stays out wide if not a full back who does more than Valencia
He gave his shirt to a kid. It didn't look like a goodbye from where I was sat, think he just loves the club and the fans.
