Toney is a genuinely great, imo highly underrated footballer who I’ve been quietly banging the drum as potential Kane replacement for ages. You can disagree but like for like it’s about as close as it gets realistically.

So this downfall of him turning out to be nothing short of a gigantic prat is so disappointing.

We were all rooting for you!

He isn't a significant upgrade on Richarlison, certainly not an upgrade worth 50m+.
 
The only club stupid enough to pay the stupid prices Chelsea quote is……..Chelsea.
They're using mind games. They're setting the fee high to see if there's any mugs willing to pay it. They're not really expecting £50M, they're just making other teams think of big numbers. Negotiate them down to say £30M, and the buyer is thinking more of £20M saved than £30M spent.

Meanwhile, Chelsea trouser probably 3x his actual worth.

I used to do this all the time when pricing variations. Draw up 3 prices, one at cost, one at the price I was aiming for, and one at the maximum I could realistically claim. I'd present the highest one so they're thinking of the big number, then I'd come back a little later with the "value engineered" option. 9 times out of 10 they'd accept it, because all they saw was the saving.

I can honestly say I've never made less than 30% margin doing that. In some cases I've got over 100%.

That's all they're doing, which would have worked before PSR. Now, with Europe skint and the EPL tightening its belt, even the mugs are having to back away from those prices.

Cap that off with everyone knowing that they're teetering on the brink, then Chelsea will struggle to offload at a price anywhere near that.
 
Just over half way through the window, so time to look how all the clubs are doing
And Spurs sportingly helping Brentford into joint top place !

Spurs 2 (Dragosin and Werner loan)
Brentford 2 (Konak and Reguilon loan)
Burnley 1 (Fofana loan)
Luton 1 (Holmes loanback)
Sheffield U 1 (Brereton loan)
15 Other PL Clubs - zero incoming players !

Just had one good prem season before collapsing under pressure, also his attitude is just terrible.
