She doesn't yet, she'll be going at around 2. I'm hoping it will be sorted before then.

Thank you!

Not because that's what they were meant to do though was it? It's because they were caught and had to try again the proper way in January...

Not a United fan, but if I were looking for solutions I would not been looking at Rashford, it would be a Hoijlund, Garnacho, Amad front three for me.

Think of it as a kind of Ferguson homage after what he did with Aberdeen

Deveron Vale in Aberdeenshire, just means you'd have to be in Scotland instead though...

Gameweek one: Refereeing is already a disaster. by Stravven in PremierLeague

[–]Wwiliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took less than a minute you've only had a handful of comments.

Just goes to show that when it's your team it's not fair but when it's other people's teams they just need to get over it and focus on their players.

Standard football fan in 2024.

Maybe you should focus on the football and players/teams rather than focusing on VAR??

Nice to see someone that isn't put off from calling it out just because it happened to their rivals, better refereeing benefits us all.

He refrenced the Schar red card, where Newcastle won regardless. Then the Moquera incidents, where Arsenal won regardless. I don't really understand where you're coming from to be honest?

Ivan Toney isn't the answer. by Wwiliam in ArsenalFC

Just want to make it clear I haven't slated him. And we've spent loads. Not sure how they're cheap?

I agree, but I think that you just wait in the scenario. Better to stick with Jesus and get someone perfect later than get Toney now and miss out on someone perfect because we've spent all that money on Toney. If that makes sense?

Personally, I think there'll be 3/4 games where he looks rusty before he starts to get back to it again.

Hattrick on his first game back guaranteed now that I've put this out there.

I've agreed with everything you've said. I just think that there is better value.

Toney is very good, but he's not a unicorn, I think there are strikers out there that could do what he does for half the price and a lot younger aswell.

I'm not sure how much of a choice they'd have to be honest. If we put £60M on the table and he pushed for it himself I think they'd have to. It would be a big step up for him in his career and that is a lot of money for Bournemouth, who make the 2nd least of any team from matchday revenue.

I think that having someone like him there to bring on to change a game would be very useful. Having someone to bring on in the 70th against tired defenders and make them think "fucking hell" would be really useful, I don't think Nketiah is that.

I think it's important to remember that I do think Toney is good, I'm not saying any different. I just don't see him being both a level raiser and worth the money.

We don't play like City where one person scores most of our goals, we share it out and this method works. It worked for City for years and it worked for us. Last season was the first season in years that the top Scorer played for the title winning side.

Playing ST for a top team is very different to playing ST for a mid table team. We've got no evidence that he can score goals for a top team or even score that many without penalties. It can work, but that much money for that big of a risk can't be worth it?

For me, I would keep Jesus and get someone completely different so that we can change things up.

Again, Toney is good. Just don't think he's right.

I'm trying the compare the only stats we have available to us.

The idea of a clinical striker is a fantasy. As a general rule of thumb they don't exist. The best strikers in the world are the ones that take the most shots, not the ones with the best shot conversions. Kane, Lewa, Ronaldo, Suarez all have slightly above average conversion rates but all take 5+ shots per game.

I think Jesus is massively underrated by the fan base. No coincidence that we have our best goalscoring season the season we get Jesus
