That doesn’t recoup the buying club the £30m+ they’ve given Brentford for him.Stick it in the contract. He gets a ban over 3 months for betting, contract expires.

And lose out on potentially millions of pounds in a transfer fee? Are you sure?Stick it in the contract. He gets a ban over 3 months for betting, contract expires.
No.Stick it in the contract. He gets a ban over 3 months for betting, contract expires.
There's plenty of evidence as to his character in the public domain already, there's no need for 'inside knowledge'. Generally I get behind every single player and manager that joins the club without exception but there is nothing in me that can bring myself to cheer this wrong 'un on. I can be swayed but as of now I hope we steer clear."The Three" mentioned in the ITK. Are we certain that was referring to incomings? Dunno why, but I read it as outgoings.
If... big If.... we signed, Eze, Neto, and Toney by end of the window, that would be quite impressive, all things being equal.
While I'm not ultra excited about the prospect of Toney playing for us, it's got nothing to do with his character. Which, I know nothing about. As for others who infer they do... perhaps they have some inside knowledge, but by no means does that make them a subject matter expert in all things Toney.
Actually, my hesitancy around him joining us has more to do with his application and work rate. While I watch other players at Brentford tenaciously hunt in packs, he always seems to just lumber around. So, if he has the ability to change that side of his game... great. If not... I don't see why Ange would consider him a good fit.
I'm not even sure I'd want him on a free. Lankshear could be as good as him by next year. (Wearing Spurs glasses, mind you.)Blimey, if I was running Brentford I’d be absolutely fuming, they’ve really been done over by Toney and will now have to endure a season of him saying he’s now leaving on a free at the end of the season.
I remember reading a few months ago he was wanting £250k a week, that’s on him getting a transfer this summer though whilst still being under cobtracr!I'm not even sure I'd want him on a free.
Im guessing he’ll be cheaper then Solanke but if you take the cost out of it I’d prefer Solanke over ToneyI’m starting to think he might be the best target available now after all the other links.
Doubt Brentford want to let Toney go right now, Wissa and Toney their only fwds - after Thiago is out for at least the rest of 2024.I’m starting to think he might be the best target available now after all the other links.
