Toby Alderweireld

[LeTallecWiz]

Ajax defender Toby Alderweireld has spoken of his willingness to join Liverpool this summer, but dismissed a possible move to "mid-table" Newcastle.

The Belgium international has long been linked with a switch to the Premier League, with Brendan Rodgers and Alan Pardew reportedly courting the 24-year-old in recent seasons.

And Alderweireld says he is open to leaving the Amsterdam ArenA, but only for a club competing at the top of the England top flight.

"I do not want to play in an English club in mid-table. Unlike Newcastle, Liverpool meets my criteria," he told reporters.

Rodgers is expected to sign a new centre-back in the summer with veteran Jamie Carragher set to retire and out-of-favour Martin Skrtel thought to be edging closer to the Anfield exit door.

Alderweireld has shined for Ajax this season, stepping up following the departure of former club captain Jan Vertonghen to Tottenham to make 36 appearances and notch three goals.

To be honest, besides the fact he's a very good young CB, we should just sign him based on that statement.

Nice of him to decide we meet HIS criteria.

 

[Fabio]

He certainly meets ours ability wise

You can't get a decent song or chant going with that name. No thanks.

 

[Modo]

What's his name?

[gkmacca]

He might bring chocolates. I suppose that's a plus.

A lot of clubs will meet his criteria, unfortunately. He has Spurs stamped all over him I fear.

Alderweireld, Alderweireld
Every game he beats you
Big and white, mean and bright
He looks likely to eat you

 

[gkmacca]

Oh, Toby, Toby!
Toby Toby Toby and his criteria!

[repeat for ages]

The Geordies must love this...
I guess Luis being with us might be a great appeal for Toby to join.

 

[jexykrodic]

Toby or nor Toby that is the question.

 

[gkmacca]

His name is Toby
He loves criteria
Unlike Lil Luis
Who preferred sangria.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Alderweireld, all our troubles seem so far away
Now it looks like they are here to stay
Because making up a song for Toby Alderweireld isn't easy at all

 

[cloggypop]

I can't find the song I want but you could do something with this

As long as he leaves the paedophiles behind I'll be happy.

He might lock his daughter up in the basement

If I go to look him up now, I strongly suspect I am going to find a picture of someone who looks like a fucking douchebag
