The only thing I can think of there is that Toby is after massive wages and the package of fee & wages is considerably more than Lovren
But you’re right .... who the fuck pays 23m for that hopeless pillock

Lovren is mediocre at best, I hope he stays at Liverpool and is a regular starter for them this season.
Ya he’s 30 but his game isn’t built on athleticism. Outside of that one season he’s been reasonably healthy.
If it's in The Sun...
Rose and Verts to stay as well and that is is a solid 3/4 for the back four for the next 2/3 years.
We already tried to send Rose to Watford before the window closed, we just signed a new LB and gave Davies a new contract. He is not in our long-term plans, he is fading big time.
Anyway I really hope Toby does sign a new deal, I really think we have a great selection CBs with a great balance of youth and experience. Even if Jan leaves at the end of the season we'd still have Toby, Davinson, Dier and Foyth which is just fine.
Tbf his social media accounts are managed by PR managers
Don’t believe it for a second. . .
He won't be getting better now from any top team but maybe we now need better.
How many clubs came for him to meet the £25m release close?!
Indeed.
Why would they, if they wait a few months until Jan then most of them can just negotiate a free deal.
Why didn't RM do the same with Hazard? Both 1 yr left.
In all honesty, this would be the safest thing the club can do if whatever issues existed before can get out to one side.
The prospect of losing Jan, Toby & Christian for less than it costs to buy a Finger of Fudge next summer would be very Woolwich-esque
They needed Hazard now, he is a world class superstar Galactico signing. A 30 year old CB with a history of dodgy Hammys doesn’t quite have the same appeal.
Especially when he will be available for free next year. Let me set this straight, I hope I’m wrong. I hope Toby does sign and get back to his best, but I don’t think he will. If he was going to he would have by now.
Also football insider and the sun as sources . . .
Age, dodgy hammy ...etc shouldn't come to the argument, all in perspective, £85m against £25m purchase.They needed Hazard now, he is a world class superstar Galactico signing. A 30 year old CB with a history of dodgy Hammys doesn’t quite have the same appeal.

Yes, let's hope he signs. Since back regular in the team, he has shown commitment and desire.
