Bryant i'd assume Brentford will be asking north of 80mill (if they're even willing to sell) I'm the board. Go on then. Sell it to me. Not today, but last week when Jesus was fit. Tell me to spend close to 100 mill on a striker who isn't going to be useful for 6 months whose name is not Mbappe.
My point is we can't be so reactionary and acting like Boehly in the transfer market. Goal scoring is /was not a weakness last year. We weren't average in that department. Our wingers each just came off a 20 goal season, and are probably going to have improved numbers this year. We are apparently already working on a Saka back up in Kudus.
Our defense on the other hand wasn't great, and let us down in key periods last term. And yeah, Saliba getting injured was huge, but Ramsdale (as evidenced by both the stats and eye test) was also big part of our defensive decline. So we improve where the need is.
For the record, I like Toney. And i would love to have him here as well. I just think it would be a hard sell to the board at this stage of the window. But who knows. Let's see how things transpire.
