Didnt he single handedly batter man united in the league/fa cup thought? I can understand when the player in question has shown up against the best in the country but as far as i can tell this guy looks good but is still relatively unproven. I guess i shouldnt be questioning brentfords scouting though, pretty much guaranteed to end up eating my words 

Alli was obscene in League One and was still only about 19-20. Toney, although has had a very good season where he scored and assisted 30 goals in a similar amount of games but the money seems a lot for a 24 year old. I do think he will be in the PL within 2 seasons and will be a 10-15 a season PL player easily.

6.5 mil for a league 1 player before addons is mental.

It’s all relative though. 

 

His goal return is far better than Watkins. Watkins is worth 25m so 6.5 for someone doing it in league 1 sounds fair to me. 

 

He’ll easily make the step up and once again brilliant business by brentford.

 

cant help but feel him not going to Celtic kills our chances of signing Edouard.

At £5/6mill is this guy worth a punt for us? Even if he's mediocre in the prem, he'd be selling for double that after a few seasons.

We'd be criticized but Ivan Toney will be a PL player and a very good one, wouldn't have minded us taking a punt on him and throwing him in. Peterborough also have Ricky Jones coming through who is getting massive hype, they might be able to use that £10m to put together a very good team that can go up and challenge for immediate promotion to the Prem. They'll be back in for Knight....

Should never have released him

Think he looks decent, we were after him but £10m is too much for us in this window given we've already spent £10m.

That's just mad isn't it, really puts the money difference between the EPL and the SPL into perspective.

 

PS. You'll be able to afford Watkins once you sell us Edouard:ph34r:

Didn’t we once pay £1m for a player a couple leagues below that, I think it worked out well... :whistle:

It sounds daft, but when I heard Villa were keen on Watkins I thought, with their recent recruitment history, we should give him a wide birth.

Maybe a C section would be safer...

I'd love us to take a punt on another player like him. 24 years old, tasted rejection, hungry, a goalscorer. Has some of the ingredients to be a Leicester City hero.

Think it’s been said before but if you put his goals this season side by side with Vards’ Championship goals the season we were promoted, I think they would be very comparable. 
 

Some of the finishes show he’s a natural and he could only learn and improve being with Vards. Just a bit pricey for “back up” still, so I don’t think we’ll be in for him 
 

Would prefer Eddy from Celtic, but doesn’t look like it’s happening.

Local based player as well, from Northampton, actually he was apparently released from our academy.

You’re right! Discussion has switched to Toney in recent posts.

Brentford are asking for a fee of around £25million but it is understood that a deal will be agreed, possibly next week. ( Villa)

Why close it?

We don't know who he could go to, and not dismissing LCFC.
