He will guarantee us goals - I am all for signing Toney. And I get the feeling that Frank is willing to let Toney go if they get a really good offer -rather than insisting on an INSANE offer. He seems that kind of manager.I like him, a big lump and is usually in the right place at the right time. Good with his head so we may actually score a few from corners. If we make an approach, Brentford will see ££££ signs and ask a stupid amount. Definitely worth considering given what we’ve got and especially if CR7 buggers off in January.
And if Kane gets suspended or injured....who do England use that is a bit similar to Kane ?In terms of pure quality, he’s obviously our second best striker. However, I think the problem is Toney is stylistically actually quite similar to Kane. Callum Wilson is at least a little different in that he’s more of a poacher. Some [faint] justification for not making the side
That’s SUCH a bad description of Toney! Have you ever watched him play…?I like him, a big lump and is usually in the right place at the right time.

Needed an extra defender.Crazy not to have space to take a in form striker like toney. Usual england squad rubbish of picking players who have barely played i.e. walker, phillips, maguire etc.
Of course to cover the liability that is maguire.Needed an extra defender.
Southgate will always want an extra defender.Of course to cover the liability that is maguire.
Just looked this up and there seems to be some conjecture about whether that's an old measurement from when he was a teenager, but he's listed as 5'10, yeah. He does seem rather taller than that though.That’s SUCH a bad description of Toney! Have you ever watched him play…?
Also, ‘big’? He’s 5’10 ffs.
It’s because of the football gambling investigation hanging over him?I feel that Toney would be a very good fit in a Man Utd team but Brentford would need time to replace him & business would need to be done early in the window.
Foe me it's a disgrace that Southgate chose to pick his buddies instead of Toney but not a surprise !!
I think Toney is one of them that needs a few chances to bag a goal. In big games you need someone more clinical than that.I felt he missed quite a few good chances against City. Is he clinical?
That is my impression as well. Good striker but not top notch. But we cant be picky I guessI think Toney is one of them that needs a few chances to bag a goal. In big games you need someone more clinical than that.
I'd have in that Defoe category, a good striker but maybe not good enough to lead the line for a top team.
He would have been great with Beckham's crossing and a strike partner, or similar with Giggs and Valencia hitting them, but I'm less convinced about him as a lone striker in Ten Hag's system. I think he'll be a club option presented to Ten Hag though, and there are similarities with Haller - even the bad ones of sometimes lagging behind the play after he drops deep, he doesn't always get into the box quick enough after his nice play in the build up for me, which Haller was even worse at for West Ham, though their attacks lacked the composure and pausing quality to slow down and let others make late runs that Sancho and Antony should be good at.SAF would have signed a player like Toney for sure. Loved those proven PL goalscorers. If he can score goals for Brentford, he can score goals for United.
I really don't think so ... There doesn't appear to be very much to that.It’s because of the football gambling investigation hanging over him?
I don't rate southgate at all but all managers do that from time to time it's just the way it is, Southgate can choose however he likes it's his prerogatives.I really don't think so ... There doesn't appear to be very much to that.
Southgate doesn't seem to like change very much & tends to stick with his boys.
Not very clinical and not that good at getting into goalscoring positions, but he’s a great target man. I think he could work as a Saha-like signing. Scored 30+ goals in the Championship, took a while to settle in the PL, then got into double figures by January and pushed for a move when a big club came in. I can see Toney doing the same. Just this time the kinds of money involved seem a bit nuts.I felt he missed quite a few good chances against City. Is he clinical?
I understand he can pick whoever he wants but I reserve the right to critique his selections.I don't rate southgate at all but all managers do that from time to time it's just the way it is, Southgate can choose however he likes it's his prerogatives.
Yeah Saha was 13 million I shudder to think what Toney would costNot very clinical and not that good at getting into goalscoring positions, but he’s a great target man.

Fair enough especially if he shits the bed results wise.I understand he can pick whoever he wants but I reserve the right to critique his selections.

Saha was a quality signing, if he'd have stayed injury free he'd have been one of the best in the league.Yeah Saha was 13 million I shudder to think what Toney would cost
Yeah, he defo seems taller than that, I remember having this conversation when he dominated Arsenal in the air, I had no idea he was so good at that at the time.Just looked this up and there seems to be some conjecture about whether that's an old measurement from when he was a teenager, but he's listed as 5'10, yeah. He does seem rather taller than that though.
Peter Pan?He was in Peter’s office but we couldn’t agree terms.
LawwellPeter Pan?
Kane?I think Toney would be a good signing for United. Good at holding the ball up and winning headers and so would be useful if you need to go long. We haven't a striker that can do what he can do. He should have been in the England squad for this reason.
