Ivan Toney

Post by Milltown1882 » Sat Feb 06, 2021 5:09 pm

Outrageous numbers for his first season in the Championship. Remember when we were linked with him for under £10mil, dread to think how much he will go for considering they got £30+ for Watkins.

I think its 22 goals and he surely must have been worth a punt at the time he played with Posh on the Turf. He scored then.

For 5m are you sure?

That's an injured Nahki Wells, or a past it Jon Walters.

We wouldn't be taking a punt on a young lad at that price for a long time

They use technology similar to what we will be doing now.

Let's be honest, using human scouts will be used in conjunction with tech now, thus reducing the need to employ so many people.

I don't really understand using a player like this as a stick to beat our club with. Since when have we been in a position to be able to afford to sign a player from League One for, say £5m, and loan him out to the Championship to cut his teeth in the hope that he turns out a good'un. Where are the threads about countless other players we could have signed who have not made it?

The main difference between Brentford and ourselves in this case is that they're playing in the Championship, which gives them a much better opportunity to give players from the lower divisions a chance to step up. We have a small budget so any significant signings we make need to be ready to step into our match squad. Maybe that will change moving forwards, as it would be great to be able to take a punt on players like this.

Using it as a stick to beat our club? What are you talking about? Its a sensible discussion about a player who we were linked with who is doing brilliantly in the Championship. We were linked and some, myself included, think he could have been worth a punt given age and wages etc. Why have you typically try to elevate this discussion to a beatng our club level. Its not very clever.

It's getting to the point where any player linked with Brentford is worth some scrutiny by others.

No excuses with this one, he would have been known to us.

Didn't Peterborough have a few other high scoring centre forwards at the same time? Can't remember their names but i wonder if any of them went on to better things too?

They've sold a few.

Tarkowski is a decent PL player.

Yes obviously Tarkowski, but I’m failing to see where these other players have gone to at our level or above. Gray did well here, but hasn’t done it in this league. Watkins is playing well granted but only half a season in. There’s that guy at West Ham who is doing okay. But people suggesting Brentford's scouts are fantastic and finding gems is nonsense.

No, I think they do pretty well.

Of course, I wasn’t doubting that. They’ve a good model of bring players in and selling them off.

My point was, no player that they’ve sold have gone on to be a good Premier League player over several seasons apart from James Tarkowski.

They do, 2019 accounts showed £60 million of debt.
2020 accounts should be out in the next few months.

What is impressive is that Brentford were able to identify Ollie Watkins who was a wide player at Exeter City, sign him for circa £1.5m and develop him to become Championship leading scorer before selling him on for £30m+. Replacing him with Ivan Toney who will become this season's leading scorer in the Championship is also impressive.

Another ex Brentford player gaining plaudits at Villa is Konsa.

I should think at the time there would have been a meltdown had we signed Watkins from Exeter City or Toney from Peterborough.

We are a Premier League club and as such are only allowed to sign players who have proved themselves at a higher level or come from abroad ready to slot straight into the first team.

That's right, isn't it? :?

I'm a bit confused too. The same posters who constantly complain about us shopping in the Championship are complaining that we didn't buy a player from League One.

Toney gets better every time I watch him. Holds it up, feeds team mates, defends and scores.
Time for a striker for the future. Get it done, Mr. Pace.
