Honestly go Brentford.

Might be a few teams absolutely desperate come January why not push for the max?

[–] Headlesshorsman02@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Well he isn’t moving then I don’t think any team is paying 100 mil

[–] maxconnor6@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Well good luck with that I guess

[–] Subbutton@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don't need any luck when Chelsea exists

[–] SlowJay11@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

How much did united pay for Antony again?

[–] Lack_of_Plethora@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

That's a fuck off price. Wissa is good, but Toney is Toney. They don't want him gone

[–] MrMerc2333@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

£100 million?

He's off to the Saudi League then.

[–] AfricanRain@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

loan deal methinks

[–] jamesforyou@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Last week i saw a price of 60m

Yesterday i saw a price of 80m,

now its 100m. Good lord.

Inflation my guy

[–] RenatoSanches35@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Seems like a move Chelsea make, not saying he’s a bad player but not 100m

[–] TorreiraWithADouzi@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They’ve got Nkunku coming in so I don’t see them doing this in Jan

[–] PM_Me_Compliments@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Am I misremembering how good he was or what? Swear his ability was nowhere near that price.

[–] WeirdKittens@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

On the one hand, English+homegrown status will raise the price, decent strikers are also in demand and he's still young-ish.

That being said, 100m might be a bit much. He's probably at his development peak, will have been out of action for 6 months in January and the gambling connections aren't great for the image of any club.

60-65m are definitely possible, maybe even as high as 70-75 with addons. I can't see any club outside of the PL paying anywhere close to that given that homegrown status which is a good chunk of that price is irrelevant outside the PL.

[–] Davidpool78@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Better players out there for less. Overpriced I’m afraid. I like Toney but don’t even think he’s Brentford’s best player

[–] Proof-Puzzled@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

100m for a 27 years old player that has just one good season, premier league market has DEFINETLY gone crazy.

[–] brabs2@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

And so they should, considering he has publicly disparaged the club on multiple occasions and got himself banned for being a degenerate gambler with an addiction resulting in a ban while all the while the club have stood by him, supported him and paid him (handsomely) while serving out the ban. Get that bag and let him go and be some other mug's problem

[–] Jackbees777@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Seeing these comments I don’t think corrupt six clubs deserve him tbh haha

[–] prettybunbun@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I have to think he ends up going to Arsenal for like 60M. Jesus is amazing but injury prone and can play elsewhere anyway.

[–] Manch3st3rIsR3d@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Hello there!

[–] RugbyTime@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Was about to say that a Saudi club would pay that but legally speaking it's probably a bad idea for Toney to head out there

[–] momspaghetty@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I'm willing to bet nobody matches that

[–] wm_1176@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Todd Boehly: hold my beer

in all seriousness though, wouldn’t be against him, but Chelsea needs to get their shit together in terms of spending, and if we’re gonna drop £100 million on another player, they better be way fucking better than Ivan Toney

[–] hisDudeness1989@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Did they make a bet on selling him?

[–] OG_tame@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I feel like this belongs in soccer circle jerk so they can use “ are they stupid” After the title

[–] HarHenGeoAma62818@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

They won’t get £100MIL not a chamber

[–] El_grandepadre@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This has "new United manager gets his 100M signing" written all over it.

[–] Antaz92@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I wouldn’t bet on it.

But I know someone who would.
