Hi Ed's have you had any updates on Toby Alderweireld? I've seen a few suggestions that both Saints and Spurs have had bids accepted, so it's now down to the player to decide, any truth to that?

{Ed002's Note - Both clubs are interested and right now I would say that Spurs are better placed to strike a deal for Alderweireld.}

Thanks for the update Ed! With my Saints-tinted glasses on I have to say I'm hopeful the club will do everything possible to match Spurs except for wages, and he'll be more bought in by the strong unity he's already got with the players and the fans here.

I know what you're saying SaintsFan29, but I think he will more likely choose Spurs if it comes down to personal when they have the Belgium contingent there in Vertonghen, Dembele, Chadli.
If he was to choose us then it would be because he thinks we are best for his development more anything else.

He was reported by Belgian press to have said a while ago that Southampton was quite boring and that he had to go to London for a decent night out, or words to that effect!

I believe that he will move to Spurs.

If you mean the article I think you do it was all very tongue in cheek. Nevertheless there's clearly positives to joining Spurs as well, but I stick with my reasons as something a player of Toby's footballing character would at least consider when choosing which club to sign for.

He's got a car and money nothing stopping him going out to London for a night out if he signed

Toby can join me and the lads for a cheeky nandos before Oceana if he wants a good night out.
Hell. If it keeps him here I'll pay!

How's that? , and I will be true to my word!

Dembele and vertongen haven't had great spells at spurs, so maybe they won't be as enthusiastic to Toby to join the club?
