Myleftboot Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Can he play number 6? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Think we'll need to move away from the 3 centre mids formation. Don't think there's many top teams that play with a sole striker with so few midfielders near them. Would love a number 10 or to play Isak there for a bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s usually pretty spot on with Southampton news. If he's the player I am thinking of wasn't he a proper agro little git in the cup games last year, I thought he looked class.

We definitely need a better link between midfield and attack, much like Alvarez provides Man City now behind Haaland. Also think Isak would be very dangerous in a floating role.

Agreed but I guess they’re looking at the fact Wilson is on the wrong side of 30 and prone the odd injury. If it was me I’d just spend the Toney cash on the best performance enhancing drugs there is, pump them into Wilson 24/7 and hope we don’t get caught and get another 15 years out of Wilson.

Yeah but they’re better than most - he’s got 63 goals in 111 apps for Brentford with 32 in last two seasons. I think he’d be good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Toney is excellent and could play for a top club IMO, but the money obviously needs using elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His reaction to scoring a goal against us in the 3-3 was strange, as if it was the crowds fault things didn't work out for him here. Then from kissing the Brentford badge he then slags them off on social media with no apparent motive. The betting scandal is another mark on his character applying greed and stupidity. Let Chelsea or someone like that have him, the club will identify a better fit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Gordon obviously squaring up to trippier and schar but to be fair he was just fighting his corner on his own, it's probably something that Howe liked in him. I really can't remember if he's ever done anything to deliberately wind up the crowd or done anything naughty off the field? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re kidding He was the worst for diving and winding people up deliberately whilst at Everton, doesn’t do that now but let’s not pretend otherwise.
