If Norwich went for him we shouldn't be going for him.

According to several Dutch/Belgian sources he's on his way to Spain to sign for Atlético Madrid.

Because we have bigger targets in sight. I heard we were about to make a 40mil bid for Messi...

I don't understand why people complain about Toby. Koscielny, Vermaelen and Per are great first team defenders, and Toby would be a great cover up for the absence of the first three. He is still young and he is versatile and not too expensive.

Arsenal are on the lookout for a new centre-back having seen Thomas Vermaelen depart for Barcelona although reports in Belgium suggest the Gunners are yet to hold talks with Atletico over Alderweireld.

I don't think he'll join us. He wants to leave to be a 1st team player, which he certainly won't be for Arsenal.

Don't want him either tbh.

Arsenal are considering Atletico Madrid's Toby Alderweireld, 25, as replacement for Thomas Vermaelen, who was recently sold to Barcelona. (Star)

I'd take him. He's very versatile as well.

He's actually not a bad CB but everybody sticks him at CB because he can play there and not many others can (similar situation with Verthongen except Verthongen is much much better)

Honestly as back up he's good enough. He was part of a La Liga winning side.

Allegedly Monaco are the closest to signing him.

Apparently the dude that broke the Balotelli story reckons we've bought/are buying him. I've only watched him a pretty superficial manner, anyone here watched a substantial amount of his games?
