Alderweireld has at least two years to play an important role as mentor for Tanganga, Sanchez, Foyth et al. I have no problem with his contract. As his skills gradually diminish, that is what will happen, but we need seasoned and expert defenders in the squad, even ones who are slowing down.
There are quite a few people here who are over-reacting to one match, when he was admittedly distracted and exhausted as a result of his child being born. He's still an asset, even if he isn't the commanding defender of three years ago.
