We really fucked up not buying him. Honestly we should have a pot of money ringfenced for championship players, buy the best one every window
Easy deals to do, straightforward contracts, taxes and agents, low wages and easy to sell on or loanif they won’t work out
Olise is another example, Maddison, Gibbs White etc must be loads
Concerned we won’t sign a striker
He'd be so good in our system as well. He's built for the PL.
Like you said, shit source.
Yes, we have money! But it's not for buying players. It's for a rainy day.
There were people complaining that we were spending money on Gray from the Championship.
Aye. For a lot less than Brentford were previously quoting too.
I heard somewhere he’s only on about £45k per week, so a decent wage level for us too, assuming we offer him double his money to come here.
I'd be fully onboard with Toney for £30m, and begin to implement Lankshear into the first team over the next couple of seasons.
I still think it will be a reasonable chunk of change - around £50 million.
And I’d imagine his wage will be around £150k per week.
Just feels like our sort of opportunity.
I’ve warmed to the idea. I actually quite like him. He’s obviously a bit of a wally, but there’s a refreshing honesty about how he presents himself.
There's two types of Spurs fans during the Transfer Window:
Zomb
If this is the case then why hasn't anyone mentioned the strikers in the Championship now then seeing as everyone wants to act like experts after the event?
People still talking themselves into Ivan Toney. This fan base is properly brow-beaten by Levynomics.
Manifest Gyokeres or Openda. Refuse to even discuss Toney as being possible. This club has the money and the means to go and get their top targets, fans need to start expecting and accepting nothing less.
And let's be fair to the club, they just had the conviction to spend big money on Archie Gray at 18 from the Championship. It's probably even realistic to think they might now go and make the investment on our top targets.

I admit I’ve fully turned on Toney and wouldn’t mind if we end up signing him
Because of a penalty and funny video during the Euros?
Nothing has changed with Toney. He's still got strengths that suit direct, counter-attacking football and he's still never been a prolific goal scorer outside of penalties and FKs. He's a good premier league player in the right team but we just sold Harry Kane, we need to be expecting this club to go and get their top striker targets not waiting for the price to drop on Toney and signing him because it's cheaper.
Pay a fortune for a guy 2 years older than Richi who isn’t even better. No thanks.
Are you seriously using Utd as the bar for deals?
