he's just a bit of a gamble ain't he?

[Iamharryparker]

Funny how he's spent the last 2+ years slagging off Brentford in favour of bigger clubs that more than likely won't sign him.

[victorvelasquez]

He'll leave on a free and sign for a Newcastle/Villa level side and play second fiddle to whoever's starting

[JoseAlvarez-dhvt]

can't believe you didn't title this "why is nobody betting on Ivan Toney"

[dkallday]

He bet that he wouldn’t get signed so he rejected everyoje

[alexrochlitz]

1. He's got a potential gambling addiction
2. He doesn't have to stay in England he could go international. I feel like Atletico could be a good fit especially since they just sold Morata and lost out on Dovbyk.

[harry]

Feel like I'm the only spurs fan who doesn't want to sign him

[angus_vena]

Also who wants to pay English tax on a mid table st? If he was french he'd be like 15m if that

[Edwin-djvy]

Big clubs are afraid to bet or gamble on him to be honest.

[Premier_League_France]

The miscontrol stat, do you have it for osimhen ??

[jamesblake]

Brentford thinking his mid no look pen against the Swiss adds 30m on his value 😂

[refigee]

Unlike him, noone's willing to take that gamble

[NedStark.]

ah this helps a lot. Thanks Athletic as always.

What’s the odds of someone making a betting joke?

[timmy]

simple, brentford want 100m and he’s like 28, not many clubs in world football can afford that and the ones that can have top strikers already. Madrid have mbappe, barca have lewa, bayern have kane, juve have vlahovic, psg have ramos, liverpool have nunez, city have haaland and united have hojlund. All those strikers are better than toney or are younger and have more potential, the only 2 clubs who could be interested are chelsea and arsenal but chelsea’s project seems to be more long term so by the time chelsea get to a top level again toney will be old then arsenal tbf could go for him but if ur spending 100m u may aswell go all the way and get osimhen for a bit more

[NathanGehrke]

I do think Man United should give him a whirl if we can get a deal for him

[kian]

Think his attitude and unprofessional towards his clubs are a big thing as well. Probably the reason arteta didn’t want him

[fessali]

He got banned for gambling. And then Brentford wanted £100 million. 😅

[joaomarques]

Surprised west ham isn't going for him, although to be fair I really don't rate lopetegui

[TheAthleticFC]

Which club makes the most sense for Toney to join?
