    Honestly go Brentford.

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

    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

    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

    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.
