Not sure what to make of those quotes but Ange may end up forced to toe the party line and pretend he’s happy with Werner.
I’ll be honest, I was optimistic for last summer but I’ve got a really bad feeling about Levynomics and this summer. The Kane money has been spent and he wants to sell equity from the club. The purse string is going to tighten. All the noise about backing Ange is eerily familiar.

1 was aided by the refs not noticing Toney move the ball 3 feet over on a free kick.He scored 4 goals in 1450 minutes this year. Don't think I'd be rushing to sign a guy with character issues and his history.
Perhaps he’s suggesting that he won’t be starting and needs to accept being second / third choice?
My personal opinion is the juice isn't worth the squeeze. I'm not even sure which bodes worse for him, a gambling addiction or the fact that as a non-addict he's capable of such massively poor risk analysis.1 was aided by the refs not noticing Toney move the ball 3 feet over on a free kick.
1 was a gift of a back pass by Udogie when he was 30 feet offside.
Also, if we’re serious about Toney, I hope our due diligence includes a significant investigation into whether his gambling was an addiction or a short term, tremendously dumb mistake. We can’t afford a £40-50m mistake, if he’s capable of falling into that hole again.

If he'd been scoring at a ≈150min/goal pace consistently in the PL , it'd be worth analyzing. If I were Levy/Paratici/Lange, I wouldn't even waste 10 minutes considering him.
Yip. I agree. Gets better every time I see him.
Toney has only just turned 28 in March. Offer £30 million max take it or leave it. They need to sell this summer.Personally it smacks of agents using our name to get bidders.
When did we ever sign players at 29 with no sell on value for 40m? Especially when they aren’t scoring goals,
Everything Ange speaks about with character and specific players that want to come here for the challenge is the opposite of what Toney has said himself in interviews.

Olmo would be fantastic

He’s scored many goals in the six yard box. Target man means presence. We have zero up top. I’m not all in on him but I’m a fan the same as you are for Richy or Simons.Why though?
He’s not scoring goals and they have been scoring more goals without him.
He’s not even a great fit for the system, he’s a direct ball target man. Has he ever made a run across the 6 yard box in his life?
Does Ange like a sitting midfielder, don’t think so. As you say we need one to protect our centrebacks as they are spread wide to cover the inverted fullbacks.He’s scored many goals in the six yard box. Target man means presence. We have zero up top.

My mind is made up on Ederson tonight. He’s exactly what we need as a sitting midfielder. You watching the game?
