Those stats will be skewed by the fact that Toney has played his last 3 seasons as a CF, whereas Richarlson played out wide while we had Kane at the club (2 of his last 3 seasons)
As a CF last 3 seasons
Toney 81 starts, 36 goals
Richarlson 38 starts, 17 goals
Gpg there is both 0.44.
You then factor in penalties, Toney's 20 goal season was helped by having 9 penalties - I don't have the data on his other seasons or Richarlsons total but it's pretty likely that once that is factored in Toneys ngpg tally drops substantially.

Throw in Lo celso too for good measure
He's been learning his trade in our academy. What he's done previously might have a bearing, but that really only for the rudiments of the game.
That's like saying you're not a University graduate, because you went to other schools beforehand. His REAL learning is being done at Spurs.
What is the either/or here?
Either Doue or Eze AND Neto?
Either Neto or Eze AND Doue?
Either Neto or Doue AND Eze?
My guess is that Palace sold Olise and Eze might be off the table and they are looking at Doue AND Neto.
If that is the case, I could fucking get behind Doue and Neto coming in. I know there issues with Neto's hammys but if they are sure about it and they could rotate the front 3 to avoid injuries. Neto would be a fucking lethal option. Doue covers Maddison when he's out and can play either wing, maybe even pushes to start when Son plays CF...We cover the now and the future.
Napoli maybe want Kulusevski? Conte did have a good relationship with him...
Thing I don’t get is right with ‘all these clubs helping each other’
Forest must want Anderson? Like, he’s there now in their books, they’re paying him a wage… they’re not gonna take him if they don’t want the player at all? It’s not really beneficial if you get stuck with a player you don’t want?
Not sure what Ange is saying to these guys in the meetings, but the positive pattern can't be ignored. We're probably underdogs in the Doue signing but it does feel like it's something we can squeak out
Probably found a way to send money out the back door, round to the buying clubs, through a machine wash at 40c and then back into their own bank account with a clear balance again.
Bent.
As.
Fuck.
I really don’t want Kulusevski to leave
I don't either. People will think I'm mad. I'd rather keep him.
But we are talking about players to send Napoli in exchange for Osimhen here.... we aren't signing Osimhen mate.
since Gray*
Yep, I've put Doue in that bracket before (Bale) in terms of potential significance.
It's why I'd want him over Eze if the choice was one or the other. Ideally would love both.
Fab on the Doue talk too

With Gray secured we have a decent backup for Porro- we won’t be playing as if a man down like we were with Emerson on the pitch.
With VdV able to capably deputize at LB, Dragusin can cover LCB and Davies either spot if we find ourselves in an injury crisis.
It’s good enough to cover what we need and improve on what we had. KWP would be an awesome signing as FB coverage on either side but it’s no longer necessary for us to buy there.
I like that Gray can play RB but I’m most excited for him to play CM, and hope the majority of his focus and game time goes there.
I hope we can begin to make the difference with top talents!
I always think “if you were advising this player and you only cared about his best interests, what would you recommend?”
I think Tottenham is a more compelling answer to players like this than ever before.
Oh?
Bring Doue and Neto I will say nothing bad about Levy again.
Ange's comments on ITV about him loving all the young players being thrown in and trusted at the euro's is looking like it could be a preview for us next season... Archie Gray, Bergvall, maybe Mikey Moore and maybe Doue if that can be done.. I think he's preparing to give them a lot of important minutes next season.. Even if we as fans may be tentative about whether they're ready or not.. He might just see it as a case of throwing them in at the deep end and lets see who can swim.
