Ivan Toney

[Malky]

£100M for Toney? **** off. Don't blame the club if we're not interested at that price, an extra £10M gets you Osimhen, no one is paying £100M for Ivan Toney.

I think that's the point. They want to keep teams away from him in January. Assuming the source is accurate.

Didn’t Ornstein also say we’re a bit stuffed with FFP but also say something about the owners could invest. Fishy.

He said it’s possible in theory but the Kroenkes haven’t shown they operate like that up to now.

Rice was a pretty good example of it, Partey as well. I don’t think they will because I don’t think Toney is that guy.

 

[Rasmi]

Fail to win at Fulham I think Arteta will force the club to make a deal. Loan with 80 million obligation. If he managed to combine the club to spend 67 on havertz. He will convince them 80-85 million for Toney

If we’re waiting till the summer then the club has to bring in Osimhen. 80-100M for Toney in the summer would be underwhelming.

They said they wanted £50m for Raya as well. I think they'd sell for a lot less than £100m.

 

[Sanchez11]

no more than 60m, just posturing at this point. Were not desperate!

No one who's seen our front line would make this statement

 

[DuBB]

Yeah, he seems pretty confident we aren’t after him but the Rice stuff was weird as well with all that coming out and I wonder if we’re cracking down on leaks.

Didn’t Ornstein also say we’re a bit stuffed with FFP but also say something about the owners could invest. Fishy.

That's because of all things, FFP is the most internal thing and no journalist who isn't told directly knows a club's FFP status.

We've gone about 2-3 seasons and 5-6 windows now where our club has spent way more than fans, journalists and prognosticators expected us to, but yet and still at the start of every window people are sure as hell how much we can and can't spend.

When it comes to FFP I just hold my hands up and wait until the breakdowns at the end of the window that help explain why we did or why we didn't spend X amount.

You have to look calm in these situations!

Well, did you see the header Jesus missed.

I don't think we can loan him as Raya is on loan. You can't loan two players from the same club

 

[Diesel]

If the price is 100 then that's just not feasible.. may as well wait for summer and buy the guy you want if it's that price.

 

[Menard]

Would love to get him and I think he's be class here, but Brentford have hit relegation form at just the wrong time for any reasonable January deal to be done. I mean 60m is already pretty high considering we paid even less than that for a younger Jesus who wasn't coming back from a lengthy ban, but any talk of 80m+++ is not worth it for me. I rate him but I think it's more-so his actual profile and the unique attributes he'd add to the squad I like more than really really world class ability

 

[Rasmi]

Think they will make Raya permanent soon as window opens and try similar deal with Toney paying premium in the summer

 

[sub_sub]

Appreciate the striker market is dry but the thought of Jesus and Toney leading our frontline for the next few years or so is not very inspiring. I also don’t think he is the right fit character wise to complement the squad. Would rather see us strengthen with a wide forward and keep our powder dry for the striker upgrade in the summer.

Toney's not a £100m player. That's ridiculous, even in todays market. Even 50 would be a stretch given his status and history. Guy hasn't played professional football in almost a year. Can we expect him to jump in the team and not miss a beat?
He'll also be 28 in March, so there will be no re-sale value and probably only a few years until he starts to decline. He's not Harry Kane who will guarantee you 20-30 goals a year even in his 30's.

Spot on. While I think he can offer us something els he is worth 40 million max not a penny more.

Agree, but you've understated it.

In his two seasons in the premier league, he only scored 7 non-pk goals and 14 non-pk goals.
That's at a rate of 0.22 and 0.43 per 90 mins.

Eddie Nketiah is a more consistent goalscorer when excluding penalty kicks (not saying he's a better player).
