Ivan Toney

Fuck me......not a chance. No way would he sit on our bench
 
I find it a bit weird that everyone here is completely nullifying the idea of us signing him because he is potentially (maybe even likely) a twat? If he acts up, Pep will put him in his place, as he did with Cancelo. He's here to play football - not wife up your daughters.

Even if he barely saw the field for us and he spit on a couple children, I don't think it would hurt his value to the degree that it would make him a waste of money. His scandal is already baked in to his value if the quoted price of 40m pounds is true. We can move him on to Saudi if he isn't what we wanted.

The reality is that this lad is a top tier striker. PL proven. Similar(ish) player type as Haaland so adjustment wouldn't be massive. Plus we could always chuck them out together when desperation hits. Personally, I wouldn't want to be defending with Haaland and Toney circling around the box. Two big proper cunts.

Not only would he be the best option on the market, he will be off the market for our opposition. I'm sure Arsenal would like to have this lad's profile in their squad. The same can be said about most of our competition. If he goes Saudi this is a moot point, but something to consider.

I seen somewhere that his current contract (which expires next year) is only 25k/week. Not sure if that's accurate, but I can see why he wants a raise and is eager to make comments that point towards his departure from Brentford.

If its true that we're in for him, and he wants City, he will be well aware that his role could be ~10 mins a match, or an average of ~80 mins, if Haaland goes down. Not an issue at all in my opinion.

I'd take a gamble on this lad without hesitation for the quoted fee.

Would come with a load of baggage. Also would expect to play far more often than he will and a major candidate to puke in the dressing room as well disrupting that. I'd be truly stunned if we were to go anywhere near this player.

Lukaku is shite full stop.

I'm sure Lukaku agent came to City along with a few other players agents trying to get there players a move as they know we are in the market for an attacker.

He did say last week that players agents are throwing there players at City which included a few strange ones.

The funny part is when he was coming back from his betting ban the pundits and media were going on like the messiah is returning to play football "It's great to see Toney back" ect...Yet the **** was gambling on games.

If he joined City we'd be on Charge 116.

I don't see anything on the Brentford fan forum other than that they all wish him well so he can't be that much of a bellend as some are making out.

On reflection I think he'd be great for us and has some strengths that Haaland doesn't.

It would rest on whether he was happy to be a backup, over the attractions of a Saudi pay day (fair enough) or a starting position at another club.

He'd be the striker equivalent of Ortega I suppose. Played at a high level but not the very top.

Scored 20 for Brenford, so easily capable of it for City.
 
Not happening and really don't want him, as cannot see him being anything but a pain if not playing
 
There are worse options, but I don't know. I'm not worried about his behavior (betting is hardly the worst thing a footballer has ever done) as much as I am his quality. He's a decent player but not sure he's at the level we need?

Granted, he can take a penalty...
