High Five o Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 For starters, Toivonen is not a striker. He is more of an attacking central midfielder. But I think we can find better options No thanks. Agreed. "In 76 Eredivisie matches, he scored 35 goals and set up many more". What am I missing? "In 76 Eredivisie matches, he scored 35 goals and set up many more". 76 Eredivisie matches, he scored 35 goals 76 Eredivisie matches Eredivisie Laaaazy cliché. I'm going on record as saying he'd be a massive bargain and would do very well for us. I am proud of you, on the record and all. He might be good, or he might flop. Seen way too little of him to pass any judgment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidfieldGeneral Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 If Toivonen is cheap enough and is brought in to be played as an attacking midfielder then I'd be quite happy with that. It would at least indicate that Pardew intends to go with 433 next season. If he's being brought in as part of the front 3 then no thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 What do we think. Im thinking Defensive Mid, Striker, Right Back and Centre Back, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Haven't seen enough of Toivonen to make a judgement on him, but he sounds like the type of player we should be after. Can play in a couple of different positions, might be a nice squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 For starters, Toivonen is not a striker. He is more of an attacking central midfielder. But I think we can find better options No thanks. Agreed. "In 76 Eredivisie matches, he scored 35 goals and set up many more". What am I missing? I don't know. I've seen a fair bit of him and he's been good, but not impressive. It seems that PSV still don't know his best position; he's not a good enough goal scorer to be a striker and not technical and creative enough to be an attacking midfield player. At 5 million he would be worth it I guess as he would be a good enough squad player, but I think PSV would want a lot more than 5 million for starters, as there have been numerous rumours in the past about Liverpool interest and >10 million transfer fee estimations. Overall, I wouldn't be unhappy if we signed him for a reasonable fee, but likewise I wouldn't be unhappy if we didn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 A transfer target rumoured earlier in the close season, Maher from AZ, has indicated he wants to stay in NL and looks like moving to PSV. 7 million euros offered, but AZ are holding out for 12 million. Maybe PSV are sorting out their Toivonen replacement, although I think Maher is more a central midfielder player than a forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Toivonen appears to me as a slow clogger, not what I would want in our squad at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Colossus Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 He scored a amazing goal at SJP in a friendly, I was there Same, knew that free kick was going in before he took it.

localshop Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 De Jong, Debuchy and Anita are the 3 main targets apparently. Curtis Good is a secondary target. So says Douglas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
