The Toney stuff is wish list stuff. Would love him here though. Proper goal scorer.

Ah wait it’s a loan with option?

Take it back that’s unreal from Edu

Buenos muchachos

Is this done?

 

[ArsenesCoatMaker]

Is it really a £27m buy option or obligation? You'd imagine Brentford wouldn't let him go without assurances they'll get paid.

I was thinking the same. The deal sounds too good to be true.

The way Fab describes it it’s basically buy option triggered after he plays a few games. So it’s a 30m deal just with a Barca-style financial trick.

Unclear why Brentford are being so cool about it though, usually these mid PL clubs are total d*cks to us.

Please don’t talk about the David Raya in this Toney thread. Thanks guys.

Likelihood is we'd agreed to something along the lines of £25million this summer or £30million next summer - if they aren't desperately needing the money then it's just as smart for them to wait a year for the extra income, especially as they wouldn't be paying Raya's wages anyway.

It's a great deal for us... jus wondering if this means there is another attacking player in if we can move a few more.

 

[Wryer]

The structure of the deal (12 month renewal plus loan) has put Raya in a pretty pressurising scenario over the next 12 months.

If he doesn’t perform adequately or get a bad injury he’s going to be sent back to Brentford AND

1. Lose his starting GK position at Brentford
2. Fans are not going accept him back
3. Lose his NT spot in the 2024 Euros
4. If it’s bad enough, he might end up without a club by end of 2025 season.

He’s putting a lot on the line to be Arsenal’s second choice keeper.

It’s either he’s gone nuts or he has ELITE mentality.

Do we need to rename this thread to 'Ivan Toney Discussion Thread' ?

All good my man Same vibes

Well, you arrived exactly to the same conclusion I made when looking at a photo.

But naturally this forum ridiculed me for doing that, rather than trusting blindly some web information, which we know for certain is not always correct.

This is the photo I used, and got into an argument with @field442 and @El Duderino laughed at my post:

I mean, your post was pretty hilarious in a complete lack of selfconsciousness/oblivious kind of way. It still is.

Excuse me for believing Brentford's measurement of him over your zoom and enhance CSI trigonometry findings, Mr. Driptagoras.

You struck me more as a pickle ball player for some reason.

Just realised how short he is. Horrid deal.

Come on rammers send him packing.
