Villa will pay him silly money and silly money for him.

How about Ivan Toney?

NM will start scoring every other game Before that’s likely to happen with any regularity, sadly
Although the stars could align and both events coincide

He would be a magnificent signing for us.
But he'll go to West Ham
Or someone who'll pay a striker £130k p/w

Missed the boat unfortunately would of been a cheapish punt in the summer.

All we have is hope, but don't panic, it will all fall into place this weekend, I am sure of it.

I'd give Jahanbaskh, Andone, Izquierdo, Lallana and Welbeck and MILLIONS of Tony's money if we could have Toney and Abraham.
I'd sell my soul for a goal against a struggling PL team.

If we had signed Toney instead of the two Poles we would be in a far stronger position.
But as mentioned,that ship has sailed.

Toney wasn't ready for the Premier League, and wasn't going to sign for a club who might loan him out. If he was going to sign for a club who would loan him out, he wouldn't chose one which could be relegated to the Championship where he wouldn't want to be after a season in the Championship. The reality is that we probably weren't players in the bidding for him, that's the reality and I don't criticise the club for it.

Yes, but he (or his entourage) were greedy, Now he is tainted with Chelsea wages, and I doubt if he would take a pay cut, even if the lower rate was still mind-boggling to normal people.
Giroud might be a better bet - won't come cheap either as also tainted by Chelsea wages, but he is nearer the end of his career than the beginning, so he might be expecting future contracts to be less, or at least see reason about it. He will no doubt have amassed a considerable fortune by now and be less avaricious as a result.
Still will cost a lot though, but .....................
Anyway, he's a better player than Tammy.

Silly old bat
He wanted an extra million, but it wasn't a signing on fee, it was for his family.
Tony Bloom won't be held to ransom by anybody.

Sadly the truth.
I wonder if there’s a way around this though. What is Lallana on. Could they pay a player a lump sum as an alternative to a high wage?

Who cares about the baggage he’s a natural finisher and would suit us to perfection if I were tb I’d be going all in on Abraham I’m sure lamptey could have a wee word in his ear too
Both will never be fit long enough to get a run ,thats why we were allowed to sign them . The same goes for Lamptey . Great player and I think as much as him wanting regular footy. Chelsea also knew he was a tad fragile compared to the others coming through ..ie James. Thats why they let him go relatively cheap

With the wages we’d be saving on izquierdo locadia possibly welbeck? I’m sure that’ll go a fair way to paying his wages
