Toney, I want raya to Toney…hold up and flick on to Saka to bang it in. All day baby! People underestimate the tone.
They both have different abilities with different versatilities.
Both please - sure you can afford if we offload more
¿Porque no los dos?
If we were forced to choose I’d take toney simply for the size. I feel like that’s something we’re sorely missing up top, although he isn’t the biggest either… But why can’t we have both?
Yes
why not both
I bought the new limited edition woman’s kit, we can now afford both
€170 for the third one … adidas 💀
I agree with him here. Based mostly on what I feel, I think it should be Neto. Toney just doesn’t move me like that, but I can understand the argument.
I’m not convinced Toney would ve anywhere near as good when playing for a team that isn’t built around him. Neto seems like he would fit our team much better.
Toney is gonna be too expensive for what he is. I really think isak would have been perfect for us. Let’s wait til next summer and see who’s the next up and coming talent instead of a 28 year old English forward
The entire team does need to be U25 oh my goodness
True but only if the late 20s player you’re buying is cheap. Like Trossard, since they won’t have any resale value at the end of their contract. Our club doesn’t have unlimited money and we’re already close to FFP limitations that buying Toney for 60+ would be too rich for kse
For the price he would cost, I would rather we spend it on a player with good resale value.
There’s a young striker playing in France called Balogun , looks decent
Neto is capable of turning a match on its head in a good way. Toney might be reliable to an extent, but Neto can sometimes single handedly destroy teams, no matter who the opponent is. Then again, if you replace Nketiah with Toney, you are likely getting finishes in situations where Nketiah can’t get it done. Aerial ability as well. Wish we could have both.
Based on zero cover on RW, if it’s one or their other it’s Neto for me.
If you stick Toney in the centre, you can play Jesus on the right, so it wouldn’t be one or the other in that sense, though still not ideal.
Personally prefer the Toney and Jesus RW option, he’s really effective on that rw and it brings fantastic balance to the options around him
I understand choosing Neto if you think a better 9 will be attainable, however I think fans underestimate how nearly impossible it is to recruit great 9s in this market
Could have a Saka - Toney - Jesus front 3 as well spamming crosses into Toney if it comes to it.
Toney is also Prem proven and can go from Day 1. He’s a safe “bet”
What are the odds that Toney would join Arsenal?
Toney quite literally cannot go from Day 1. He’s not played any football since May, and is banned until 16 January.
That’s a good point, but it won’t take him half a season to get into the groove of things like it may for a non-prem talent coming in and getting adjusted. It’s not like he’s been sitting at home doing nothing or coming off a huge injury. He’ll definitely be ready to go pretty quickly IMO
I agree. Havertz as backup CF with Jesus and Saka on RW would give us enough depth to have a chance of winning the league this year.
Jesus said he came here to play 9 and was promised that. I doubt he’d be happy on the right wing for long
No, he said he is happy as long as he is on the pitch
In this scenario it’s Jesus displacing Saka so that’s only going to happen rarely
Mr Ruthless will have to put the club first
I replied to
zero cover on RW
not permanent RW.
Saka is always going to be 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice RW.
Toney and Jesus can fight for #1 striker, and swapped around to change our profile, but when Saka is injured or needs to be taken off, Jesus is an ideal cover.
Not to say it can’t work, but Jesus is our best option up top and (while a very small sample size) has not looked great the few times he has been at RW for us
Jesus and toney in a front three oof
Jesus can play on the right, he’s done it before and bringing in Toney would create more opportunities to play them both together and give Saka a rest.
Nelson is ok cover for rw imo . I want reiss to succeed
Toney for sure
Toney for homegrown rule. If we were to bin off nketiah, surely we need another homegrown
Toney, no. Just the flavour of the month name for /r/Gunners to be obssessed with because he’s a) known and b) perceived as available.
Flavor of the last 12 months, you mean. His name has been bandied about for long before his suspension and he fills an obvious need. So does Neto, but as many have pointed out, they both fill the same needs in different ways.
We were linked with him heavily when Brentford were in the championship
Neto 100%
Toney I’m not so sure, only if not expensive.
Neto for me, zero cover for Saka on the RW. The only concern is whether he would be ok sitting on the bench.
We also need a Striker, but think Kai can play No 9 for games need a Target Man. Or Eddie can play cups.
Por que no los dos?
Surprised everyone is so down on Toney, we need a goalscorer
Most wouldn’t start Toney over Jesus
Toney cost to upgrade Nketiah doesn’t seem worth it.
Toney betting against his own team has negative connotations.
Toney is too expensive for a player his age.
