Village Idiot Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Meh, Toivonen has looked pretty average every time I have seen him. I would rather get Lens if you are to fish from that lot, although he probably wouldn't come as cheap. He's a tall striker, not as slow as you might figure but not particularly mobile.

I would rather get Lens if you are to fish from that lot, although he probably wouldn't come as cheap. Saw Lens in the Europa League against Benfica previous season. Pretty average if you ask me..Physical and quick, but his technique is not at all good enough for PL. He was pretty much invisible the two matches I saw . His partner on the left wing, Balázs Dzsudzsák, was on the other hand very good..Quick, good technique, hard working and his contributions into the box were also great. He's now playing for the Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala btw.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder when one of those oligarch-fueled Russian clubs is going to leave a mark in the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we need some speed in attack.. Toivonen is a good player. 6'3" tall and with good technique. He isn't a speed merchant but isn't slow either. He's really good at holding up the ball and playing in other players. But he's still a pretty good goalscorer as well. Would fit us really well IMO. And as a bonus he's from my part of Sweden as well. And for that alone I'd want him at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Luque Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Toivonen is exactly the type of player we should be looking at. Decent height, technique and pace and can play in just about all attacking positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what we should be looking for as i've mentioned earlier in this thread. It's been stated several times, not sure myself as I've seen interviews with him where he says he supports Milan. Anyway, still not sure he's good enough. He hasn't got any pace worth talking about, I think that's what we're lacking up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
