I really like Ivan Toney. For a big classic front man he’s a fantastic footballer. 

But he’s basically like a God for Brentford. There’s no chance they’d sell him and especially not so late in the window. I don’t think a club of their stature would be able to replace him with only 2 weeks left.

He's not a big classic front man tho. He might be somewhat tall-ish but he is more of a mobile, agile, athletic presence than an old fashioned sturdy battering ram-style target man I would say.

I actually could imagine him fitting us well. just his last two games i thought he was really impressive. That run and first touch ass for the 4th goal vs Manure was brilliant and he was pressing them all game. Today he showed great coordination for both his goals, unfortunately just one counted.

I agree, I think he's a much better footballer than he's probably given credit for and his profile is a significantly better fit than Lukaku was.

I think the problem is the price. How much would Brentford want, perhaps even more so as local rivals. It would have to be upwards of £40-50m.

I think if we showed a legitimate interest, I do think he'd push to make the move. Pretty sure he's been caught a couple of times not speaking very positively of Brentford.

I think ultimately the difference with Aubameyang is if it doesn't work out, I think he is easier to absorb and bring another attacker in next summer. If Toney costs 3 or 4x as much he immediately becomes a big money signing. The risk if he flops is we're stuck with two very expensive failed strikers on the books and still searching for another. 

The club would have to be very confident that Toney is "the guy" for likely the money it would cost and if they felt he was that then I'd assume we would have made a move for him much sooner in the window.

They could go in for Auba🤣

There is some dodgy shite going on with Toney's height

he is 1.85m, I fully believe that

but Brentford's site, and thus wikipedia list him now at only 1.79m, which is rubbish

look at this pic from 2020

Canos (7) is 1.77m

and  Christian Nörgaard, behind him. is 1.89m

Azpi is 1.78m

do they look basically the same height? LOL

Christian Eriksen is 1.82m

I fear the Toney talk is just being used to put pressure on Barca regarding the Auba deal. If we were really after Toney we'd have to move fast now

we should move with lightning speed for Toney

zero chance we move for Osimhen this late, Napoli would never do it, unless we shipped them €100m (£85m) or more plus likely Broja on a perm

and I see almost zero links to Danjuma

and I do not think we move for Zaha, who is more of a winger anyway
