Yeh.... Never wanted Toney... He ended up where he belongs(*).
(*Although I can understand a late bloomer maximising their likely one and only big payday in Saudi more than some guy that's spent their whole career raking in prem millions already.....)

Fair fucks to Toney. He did exactly what he should do.
Guy has been an excellent signing for us. Works his bollocks off too. Long may it continue.
Totally agree - if a few others had his desire and work rate we'd be higher up the table.
Is he a top 4 or 6 striker? If he isn't - we need someone else to at least challenge him for a place.
The most frequently used attribute used about him is " he works very hard ".
The guy is carrying our attack. He's probably our single most important player right now.
Get him some proper support from the wings and he will go up a gear.

i think hes at least a top 6 striker to be honest. lets not forget his service has been shit really, hes had son, johnson and werner supplying him! any striker is going to struggle to score goals when thats your service.
look at his part in bergvalls goal the other night, hes chasing a long ball going away from goal, bullies konate and puts a nicely weighted pass in for bergvall to hit first time. thats top class CF play.
i bet his goal rate goes up once we get quality wide men.
Yes.....
Last season:
21 G (inc pens) / 4A
Current:
27 apps (all comps) / 11 G / 6 A (no pens)
17 EPL apps / 7 G / 3 A
If he stays fit; he'll comfortably double that and clock 15 G / 6 A (EPL).
We bought him on last years form.
Thougout his career he is 1 in 4.5 goals and 1 in 10 assists.
15g and 6a would be decent.
What should a striker playing nearly every min of every game get?
Broken down to assists and goals per min - Madison does better than him. Solanke is about 25th in the pl.
He is a good player - and a reasonable addition to the squad - is he good enough to be a certain starter? No, not on his history.
If he gets better - which is possible - then maybe he will be.
Nah
I liked Zirkzee when I saw him play a couple times in Italy but was never like that about it.
A proper striker..problem is since our club has been terrible, he will probably leave within a year or 2 after getting a good offer.
Unless we get CL football!
Why does CL football seem like a dream now? lol
The only way is up!
Probably gone for this season but who knows for the next one?
Fantastic player. If he didn't have so much work to do and we were a team focussing on a striker to score all the goals he would score 20 plus easy as he did for Bournemouth last season. Comparisons with Kane are silly, different player and suited to our system now bringing others in to play and spreading the goals around.
Love the guy - what an attitude and heart.
He collapses to the ground on the final whistle most games hes worked so hard.

If you're going to slay him with stats then at least get them right. According to fbref, he has 92 non-penalty goals from 22,037 career minutes which is a goal every 2.7 90's. Also 36 assists which is one every 6.8 90's.
He is getting better.
Last season all comps: 19 non-penalty goals from 3,544 minutes which is one per 2.1 90's.
This season all comps: 11 non-penalty goals from 2,104 minutes which is also one per 2.1 90's. Also 6 assists which is one per 3.9 90's.
To summarise simply, let's just look at 90's per non-penalty goal involvement, all cimpetitions:
- Pre 2023/24: one NPGI per 2.1 90's
- Last season: one NPGI per 1.7 90's
- This season: one NPGI per 1.4 90's
- Pre 2023/24: one NPGI per 3.0 90's
- Last season: one NPGI per 1.85 90's
- This season: one NPGI per 1.67 90's
