Not convinced by Openda at all. He just doesn’t seem physical enough to play as a sole focal point in tbe PL for me. He kinda reminds me of Defoe. Good player, but needs someone to do the donkey work.
Toney scored 4 goals in half a season, and one of those was a dodgy free kick that probably should have been retaken. Son scored 17.
I don't think we have to sign a central midfielder this summer at all and tbh if Spence has knuckled down, we don't need a LB either.
Which means all of our resources can be spent on two positions than the potential four we needed previously.

That’s not the argument. Toney is a better centre forward. Toney is playing with Brentford. Toney would score easily 15 plus with us. Sonny is not a good centre forward in our system because we play against low blocks. He can’t hold the ball up well enough. He needs space in front of him
Would love to know what the actual transfer strategy is and what Ange was referring to end of last season. We have our plans in place and players identified or words to that effect, instead we get that non exec director based in SF going on about the “ experience” whatever that means."no doubt there will be a couple more additions but I'm comfortable with where we're at.”
.........
And just like that the coffers closed for another window.
Yeah fair. He scored about 10 in 12 when cooking this season but as I said, fragile
It's always about the value in the package.
And fees can be classed as assets as you can recover them. Wages are pure liabilities. Money down the drain to wheeler dealer qualified accountant Levy.
its baffling how some people watch every spurs game and shit like this goes straight over their head!
i actually like richarlison if you can get him service into the box, hes also got serious dog fight in him. but i think toney is probably just as good if not better than him with box service and hes a far better all round footballer!
the comparison with son as a striker v toney is beyond laughable.
That guy asking the questions why isn’t his nose brown
Great to see Manor back, I mean for real!
Thought we had the money only one of a handful of clubs who do or can actually spend without breaking any psr or ffp?
dedicated brown noser. bet his breath stinks.That guy asking the questions why isn’t his nose brown

Agreed and we can actually spend good money on quality rather than spreading it around thin as Bobby charltons barnet
I was very hopeful Gray would be able to make an impact straight away , not just on you tube clips but more importantly the rage of the Leeds fan in my office when we signed him , more convinced he can after last night.
I was hopeful Bergvall could do the same , a greater risk as it was based purely on you tube clips . After last night I think he will make an impact also .
We now need to sign 2 or 3 quality experienced players in key positions .
Hopeful Djed Spence does not lose his alarm clock , could be a big saving on a Royal replacement.

We won’t spend load of money for a striker as long as Richy is here due to Levy and how we operate. Prolly we go for someone like Toney (as long as price is around 30mln) - so in theory backup, but in reality he will play a lot since Richy is almost never fully fit - so it’s more like 1A/1B tandem. Then kid like Veliz or Lankshear (sometimes Kulu/Son) as 3rd option. In the future (year? Two?) we move somehow Richy and then, either of kids will be Kane regen - or we go for bona fide striker. That’s how I read situation (but not saying I agree with this approach).
Rich is not generally good enough and his always injured normally not even through playing games. Yet people go on about Neto and olmo injury record.
Concur with not really needing a central midfielder now. We need 2 attacking players that go straight into the team, no idea if that is Eze and a CF or Chiesa/Neto or whoever but we need 2.
I also think need a good left centre back/full back option. The drop off when VDV is out is too big as we need that pace. Lastly we need another keeper which seems to be missed. Bad injury to Vicario in September then we're in trouble with Forster/Austin for a few months.

Richarlison is injured too frequently ..... so why risk buying another injured player and double the risk of too many players in the sick room and too few to play in matches.
We were talking striker, not centre forward though. Not the same thing to me, we don’t play with a traditional centre forward, at least not since early years Kane.
Brentford set up with 2 wide players to feed Toney, Mbeumo and Wissa are decent as well, but only 4 goals in 17 starts (3 in open play). A goal every 4 games is worse than Richi.
