I'd be really disappointed if we get Toney. I don't see him as an upgrade at all. He is an average striker with more self confidence than ability. There are huge character issues with him too.
 
My sense in all this is Ange has realised it's not enough in this league to have a Kyogo type striker who touches the ball 5 times a game and plays on the last man, you need a proper footballer who can play with his back to goal, hold up the ball, keep possession and bring others into the game. And hence he's adjusted his striker targets accordingly.
I think this is what he wanted BJ for to play like the Celtic number 9. Then realised he didn’t have the wingers to play that way so stuck him out on the wing.
 
We should be talking about Gyokeres or Openda if we are talking strikers.

Or if not then talking about massive upgrades on the wide forward spots
It's going to be Son/Werner on the left, on the right it will be Johnson and maybe a replacement for Kulusevski if he's moved to play more central.

I don't think we'll have 3 left sided forwards.

So it could be Johnathan David, a new right forward, possibly Gallagher and a new back up goalkeeper.

That's if we keep Spence. if not we'll need cover for Porro.

Gray can cover Porro when needed as well but Spence lets see… up to him really and the market.


There are believable cases to be made that there want a marquee player for all 3 positions. I’ve given up trying to guess.

But if it really is 1 more attacking player they had better get someone legit and not a make do from further down the list like Toney or David
 
Just having a warm body additional striker would raise our floor quite a bit. David and Richarlison doesn't raise the ceiling a ton, but being able to always have a legitimate striker out there rather than subbing Son there or playing with a false 9 would be a bit help.

If we added David and Chiesa for a price less than Gyokeres would cost, I think I'd go that route. Son/Werner on the left, David/Richarlison in the middle, Johnson/Chiesa on the right with Deki only in emergencies and mostly playing MF. It's not elite but it's far deeper in quality than what got us 5th last year.
 
We'll need Yin as well then?......🤷‍♂️


The Big Yin?
