Just read that Spurs have been told Toney's available at £50m.
Chew down to the wrist I would.

Would be a good signing if we could get him at that price.
11 May 2024 14:09:23
Add on the United tax to that.

One of the laziest players you will ever see imo and will upset many fans if you think rash does not work hard enough. does nothing defensively all game.
{Ed077's Note - He'll have more goal contributions than Rashy this season, YOU CAN BET ON THAT ??

Ahmad. So, apart from 20+ goals a season. ?.

Toney is a Centre-Forward, and would be expected to apply more of his tracking and working into midfield.
Whereas, Rashford is primarily a Wide-Forward, and would be expected to apply more of his tracking and working down the flanks.
Don't give me the high-intensity sprints blither, Toney does far more grafting in midfield than Rashford does to support his Fullback.
If Toney's lazy, then Rashford is absent.

Toney would be a good signing for anywhere between 40-50m. EPL proven 20 goal a season striker who can play across the front three and is very good at bringing others into play and creating chances for his teammates. While he's at an age where he's hitting his peak, but isn't such a big name that he'd push Hojlund out completely. He'd carry the attacking burden for a 2-3 years until Hojlund was ready to be our clear first choice and carry that scoring responsibility.
Any more than 50m and it just becomes unviable due to the need we have in other areas. While I also suspect there could be better value found in the market if we are looking foe a clear back up to Hojlund.
I'd even consider Welbeck on a free for a year to support Hojlund if it means we can get top quality first choice options in defence and midfield, rather than compromise in those positions to buy a more expensive back up striker.

He’d expect to start and be the big cheese. I don’t mind having a main striker and there’d be plenty of opportunities for Rasmus, but I don’t think we’ll sign such a high profile player. Whether a younger Sesko type or older player happy to rotate I’m not sure. Don’t believe he’ll be that cheap for anyone though.

He is a better all round player than Rashford and I have watched him many times tracking back.
12 May 2024 09:11:10
Spenno, I tend to agree with much of that, and given his age and pedigree in the EPL I don't think he'd be a big issue for Højlund. Toney would probably be first choice for the next couple of years, while Højlund would still get plenty of game time to develop. I. Two years time Højlund will be 22/ 23 and ready to step up and become our undisputed first choice, while Toney will be 30/ 31 and ready to take a step back and become the back up.
As for price like I said 50m is the maximum I think anyone should spend on him. He has one year left on his deal, so this is Brentford's last chance to make sure they don't lose him for nothing. While he's had half the season out banned and hasn't come back in great form. Maybe with a good pre-season he'll be back to his best next season. Yet for buying clubs why would you spend more than 50m on a 28 year old striker who has had a 6 month ban and isn't in the best form with only a year left on his deal.
I genuinely think it could be closer to 40m that he goes for in the end. Which would represent a bargain in the current market.

Id only question his attitude. We need the right players with the right attitudes going forward. coachable people.
