If we did sign him, I could see it going about as well as when we signed Darren Bent, who had a similar CV in terms of being prolific in a Championship promotion campaign then having a couple of decent seasons in the PL for that newly promoted side. A lot of CFs need to be the focal point of the team to succeed and struggle to perform at their best when they find themselves as a back-up or playing off / alongside another CF. Toney may go on to prove me wrong, but I think he's more in his element at a bottom-half / mid-table club than at a big club.I can’t understand why we wouldn’t be looking at him. Home grown, goal scorer better than Richy etc.

In addition to having to play back-up to Son, it would be a very different type of pressure than he's experienced so far in his career.
Nah, I'd like to see Brennan given a chance and hopefully Richarlison can pick up form as well.I think if we did sign Toney , sonny would go to LWF and Richy would be sold .
The days of sonny are long gone on the wing.I think if we did sign Toney , sonny would go to LWF and Richy would be sold .
He's a striker now, don't think he suits the wing position in an Ange team but his days are far from long gone as 8 goals so far would attestThe days of sonny are long gone.
I'm not so sure because there's quite a bit of evidence to support the idea that he's "a tool", his recent interview for one and his "fuck Brentford" comment when trying to get his end away."He comes across as a tool" is an incredibly subjective and nuanced, generally based upon our own perceptions and bias. I'd hope that our scouting would be somewhat more objective than that.
If Ange thinks he can add value then I'd be all for it, but not overly fussed either way.

I don't want to see Son back at left wing, the best season he had was playing LW when we were defending, but more as a central striker when attacking with Kane.
He is a CF now. I think he'll hit 20-25 goals this season.
For me Richarlison is more of a CF as well, if he can be more deadly in front of goal. If not then Veliz.
If we have 50m to put down on a player I'd prefer us buy a proper winger like we tried with Diaz, for me Chiesa would be my choice.
Joint 2nd top scorer in the Prem. He’s far from done.The days of sonny are long gone.
Apologies I meant on the wing my bad. Shouldn’t type in a rush lol.Joint 2nd top scorer in the Prem. He’s far from done.
Mikel Arteta not concerned by Ivan Toney's £100m price tag because transfers have 'evolved'
The Arsenal manager may look to bolster his strike force this winter with first-choice forward Gabriel Jesus out injuredwww.telegraph.co.uk
Tenuously linked to Arsenal now. Seems like a match made in heaven personality wise.
They spent £70M on Havertz. Relatively speaking, £100M for Toney is a bargain for someone who actually knows which way the goal is.Madness by them if they spend £100m on Toney
