He was at his best once Wenger had added Henry, Pires and Ljungberg. We sort of had those pieces ... Anderton, Ginola. Henry was the cheat code really.

Toney gives the ball away too often through bad passes
I could sign a player from the national league with those attributes and better ability on the ball. Hopeless footballer, basic, limited and scratchy fraud
They like “Tohnee” because he doesn’t look at his penalties, and gives edgelord interviews.
If you have more money you can target more expensive players
Jeez, out of nowhere.
2 of those 7 seasons were when he played for Bournemouth in Championship scoring 45 goals.
Is the American thing a bit like supporting the Cubs/Red Sox where there’s historical success from generations ago but now there’s a drought, so they’ll take immense pleasure when it finally ends?More money for Levy & Lewis...
Tottenham boost confirmed as £120m off-pitch deal struck

Tottenham’s star is rising internationally. A quick look at the North London club’s commercial income shows that.
Spurs earned £228m from sponsorship, merchandise and events in 2021-22, the last year for which financial data is available.
Only Liverpool and the two Manchester clubs recorded higher commercial income in the same period, and the data suggests that Spurs’ brand is growing the quickest of them all overseas.
A recent study from Men in Blazers found that Spurs account for 15 per cent of US football fans, which is higher than any other English club.
Captain Son Heung-min meanwhile has turned the club into a commercial juggernaut in East Asia, where Spurs have spent pre-season ahead of 2024-25.
The commercial impact of an individual player is often overstated, but it is indisputable in Son‘s case.
Aside from the fact that he is a talented young player, Spurs’ acquisition of Yang Min-hyuk shows the club have one eye on retaining fans in the region in the post-Son era.
However, the latest news from the world of football business indicates that the game’s powerbrokers do not expect interest in Spurs and the Premier League as a whole to dip in East Asia any time soon.
Spurs to benefit from new £51m TV deal
It is hard to quantify exactly how much the East Asian market is worth to Spurs, or indeed any other Premier League club.
The club have signed several commercial deals which are clearly centred on capitalising on the interest in the club in the territory.
But then there are less measurable benefits, such as brand exposure or how much the Spurs buzz in South Korea and beyond has contributed to Premier League’s TV deals in the area.
Recently, it emerged that the Premier League had struck a new broadcast deal worth around £40m over the next three years with Japanese broadcaster U-next.
Other clubs owe Spurs a thank you for a large chunk of the cash they will receive as a result of that deal.
Now, Seoul-based broadcaster Coupang has agreed a deal to take over the TV rights from Eclat in South Korea in a deal worth 66 per cent more than the previous package, per Sport Business.
The last deal was worth a reported £23.56m per season, which would mean the new arrangement is worth £39.84m, or £119.52m over the three-year deal length.
TBR Analysis: The Son Heung-min factor
Son, now 32, is under contract until the end of 2024-25, although Spurs are believed to have the option to extend his deal by a further year.
Spurs are well aware that fandom is more fluid outside Europe, with supporters liable to change their allegiances based on their favourite player’s movements.
It would therefore not be at all surprising to see the attacker return to the club in an ambassadorial role one day after he eventually hangs up his boots.
The Premier League is the only league in the world wherein the value of the overseas rights outstrips its domestic broadcast deals.
That speaks to the phenomenal global interest in clubs like Spurs, which clubs are attempting to monetise further for their own financial gain.
Lol don't worry you will learn soon.
When you realise not everything is down to bald bad man and Ange is the one driving these transfer windows and in charge of recruitment its gonna hit you, until then you keep blaming the board if it makes you feel better, fuck do I care
This obsession with Kane. LET IT GO FFS. Is he the only footballer in the world?!
I hope Solanke DIRECTLY contributes to a Spurs team that picks up silverware, because it’s becoming insufferable.
Just do not want Toney at our club! Would be too divisive, like some in our Off Topic Forum!
And Wenger himself, lets be serious. We had the likes of Francis, Gross, Graham. They had one of the all time greats.
Really liked the welcome he gave Bergvall to the club!
Thanks for your service and good luck to you Emerson in Italia!
Looks like an actual data led signing, excited to see what he can do
I knew there was something I didn’t like. Didn’t end well for our last gooner striker Bent
And Wenger himself, lets be serious. We had the likes of Francis, Gross, Graham. They had one of the all time greats.
And prior to that it was Conte, and Nuno and Jose didn’t care about that cup final and Poch didn’t actually want to sign anyone in that summer window.Lol don't worry you will learn soon.

Jol actually wanted to be sacked at half time.
Honestly, I hope Daniel pays you well because if you make a tit of yourself this much for free then you need to reconsider your life choices
Berbatov and Keane both had zero real pace and were one best PL strike partnerships. Honestly, anyone who doesn’t think those two could have played together is crazy.
