Wasn't sure to put laughing or agree reaction but it looks like the reaction function has been removed.
We won’t and he’ll go and score shitlooads somewhere else and everyone will complain that we didn’t sign him.
And we’ve had like 2 penalties in the last fucking millennium
Yeah, that was sort of my point I guess.
He has a 1 in 3 record when not provided with a penalty kick.
Bare in mind, Richarlison since signing for Spurs has scored 12 goals in 15 league starts when playing as a striker for us and not on the wing. No penalties. A 1 goal every 1.25 games record.
The striker market is so poor this summer that it seems much smarter to put all the summer budget into other positions instead of buying someone who hasn't really proven to be much better than what we have.
Guess who gonna start it?
I think it should be an upstanding member of the community.
A lollipop man/woman
A park keeper
A PCSO even
Exactly what I've been saying.
Toney is a good player. He's a really good player if you play on the counter and need a target man to link play. He's a fantastic focal point for a team like that.
On the flipside, if you take away penalties and free kicks, he's never been a prolific goal scorer and we play possession football that requires the CF to be the complete opposite of a focal point.
Doesn't mean that our style of play couldn't change for next season but it would be a massive shock if we lined up next season looking to play direct balls and counter attacks.
I'm not going to be upset if we ended up making a late move for Toney and got him in to compete with Richarlison. We will have alot of games, Richy has been unreliable with fitness at times and he's HG.
But I feel like unless we get the targets we need to get in, it's a a bit of a waste. Like you say, he's perfectly suited to a club like Brentford and their brand of football. Not to say it won't translate but his goalscoring record minus the penalties doesn't really move me. If we just want a lump to be able to hold the ball up, there's plenty of them.
Though to be fair, Richarlison put in one of the best "target man" performances I'd seen in ages last season, I think against Brighton.
The wide forwards are a much bigger priority and a real solution to compete with Maddison and play when he's injured.
It was only Sheff UTD but I'd not be against seeing Kulusevksi as the false 9 again in pre-season. He's strong enough to hold the ball up and link with others. We saw him do it to a really high level several times but the home game against Liverpool he was like a wide #9 for us.
Bloody hell, Sanchez had only the month before the final just turned 21 himself! That team was the youngest side to ever reach a European final, with an average age of just 22Yrs.
You're a good poster mate, I hope you don't think I'm picking on you. I'm only reacting here because your post makes out that Mourinho "did a job" on them by targeting a 21yr old!!! (I hate the Dinosaur with a passion and will likely tear strips off any post that remotely frames this cunt in a good light looool). This only gets said because Mourinho himself came out post-match and said it as if he was giving the press a gem of his inside tactical knowledge. He beat an U21 side with a squad that cost nearly half a billion, nothing really special in that, especially when they should never have even been in the final having totally fluked their way to win in the semi AND quarter-finals. Pogba alone cost x4 the cost of the entire Ajax team (£16m).
As you were hahahaha................
Another half truth
Brentford played on the front foot in the Championship and he thrived.
The fact that he stepped up into the PL and posted a moderate tally playing in a low block team shouldn't count against him.

You know it's more than likely that it's Chelsea themselves that are putting this out there in the media now?? Do you think it makes their besieged owners look better or worse with their fans if they stave off bids from the team they sing about every single week as they run out onto the pitch?
He wasn't wrong though.Bloody hell, Sanchez had only the month before the final just turned 21 himself! That team was the youngest side to ever reach a European final, with an average age of just 22Yrs.

He said they let him have the ball as he can do fuck all with it. We then spunked 45m on him.
Strange when we had Toby and Jan, two of the smoothest operators you'll ever see
Man, Ange really has a raging hard on for this guy.
Or Chelsea have a hard on for Spurs' money.
Not buying our interest anymore
