This guy is just awesome, his hold up play is just going up and up a level every game, and if we can keep him fit he's going to score a LOT of goals!!
Yes, I just love how good our coaching staff are. Ollie did the same last season - between August and October he just turned into a proper #9. Toney's all-round game looks better already compared to Wycombe or Huddersfield - the link-up play, positioning etc.This guy is just awesome, his hold up play is just going up and up a level every game, and if we can keep him fit he's going to score a LOT of goals!!
Does credit have to go to the club or at least some of it? Clayton, Grey, Hogan, Maupay, Ollie. The list goes on. Strikers playing to our type of play.I think clubs can be overly cautious about signing from the lower leagues. Hence the lack of a stampede for Ollie and Said (although we got our money in the end).
Really? Looks a lot taller than 5ft 10Look the real deal. I was surprised to find out he's 5ft10, assumed he was taller based on how much he wins in the air!
What makes you think he'd want to go fishing up north on a cold evening?Very, very good so far but can he do it on a cold evening up north?
Fishing.
I listen to Darragh MacAnthony’s podcast and he was basically saying exactly the same thing. He honestly can’t believe that a prem club didn’t make a serious enquiry about Toney. That said, Darragh clearly has a lot of time for Brentford and the way we do business and was more than happy to sell to us, knowing full well that he’ll probably double his money in a year or so.What an absolute beast ! Love a striker who has good feet and can win a header, **** knows what these Directors of Football do at Prem teams, how was he not picked up this Summer. What a bonus for us
He was asked the question in the post match interview, and he said I could have had four, but I'm not greedy.Really should be scoring hat-tricks at this level.
He's never 5"10, dunno why google has that. If you see him next to Norgaard who's about 6"1, he's slightly taller than him.Look the real deal. I was surprised to find out he's 5ft10, assumed he was taller based on how much he wins in the air!
The finish was very clean and not at all easy - he made it look like it was though.His first goal, last night, demonstrated his predatory instinct. He was watching Henrik (and the defensive line) as it was obvious what he was going to do and as soon as he let fly, Ivan was on his way, so he'd be ready to pounce on any rebound. The finish itself, hit first time, was excellent.
Also interesting that he said that the analysis pointed to the fact that the keeper is a prolific at parrying shots.The finish was very clean and not at all easy - he made it look like it was though.
YesWas his second celebration taking the p**s out of their goal celebration?![]()

Can’t beat a bit of sh*thousery
Any reason why? What was theirs all about?
And incredibly efficient at 71 miles per gallon.
Paterson's goal celebration looked like a poor attempt of the dying swan from Swan Lake. Not often you see a northern bloke doing ballet.Any reason why? What was theirs all about?
Bit weird if you ask me![]()
There was that effort on Saturday, too, which sliced wide of the post; he struck that with his left as well.Left or right footed? Had thought he was r-f, but after last night not so sure. Very accomplished, far from straightforward, finish with his left. Will have to watch him more closely. Maybe just two-footed. Anybody know?
Unless you go to this. Welcome to Northern BalletPaterson's goal celebration looked like a poor attempt of the dying swan from Swan Lake. Not often you see a northern bloke doing ballet.
I’m getting worriedStart of season - value about £6m
Last week - value about £10-£15m
Tonight - value about £15-£20m.
And I'm not even sure he's fully fit!!! If he carries on like this, he will be £40m by the end of the season. What a strike rate!
berk!What makes you think he'd want to go fishing up north on a cold evening?
Especially when you've had £20 on him being top goalscorer
Yup! Hopefully this makes up for the annoying end to last season when I had money on Ollie at a huge price!Especially when you've had £20 on him being top goalscorer![]()
And he’s still growingHe's never 5"10, dunno why google has that. If you see him next to Norgaard who's about 6"1, he's slightly taller than him.
If it helps, Fifa 21 has him at 6'2![]()
Yes listened to that this morning think he said + 1 mill if we go up +1mill if we stay up +1 mill if he’s top goal scorer in championship + 10% sell on.Darragh is a bit gobby but l still find him a good listen.I listen to Darragh MacAnthony’s podcast and he was basically saying exactly the same thing. He honestly can’t believe that a prem club didn’t make a serious enquiry about Toney.

Surely there's an argument that we should have been first choice for him anyway - for the same reason that Maupay chose us over Brighton, and Mbeumo turned down Marseille. He had a clear route in to the team here and we have the track record of improving players and so on. Sitting on the bench at Palace or Newcastle - after you get replaced by some expensive loanee after you don't score for 2 or 3 games - is good for the bank balance but maybe not good for long term prospects.See, there are a few things I don't understand about football. A lot, actually. And now there's another:
Why didn't some club like Palace or Brighton go to Posh and offer them a straight £10m up front - if not last season, then certainly this summer?
I mean, there must have been lots of clubs watching him, his quality is blindingly obvious, he passes the "No Dickheads" test and he's obviously ambitious.
If nothing else, the fact that Bees were interested should have alerted them, so they could nip in like a tribe of hyenas stealing an antelope kill from a lone cheetah.
Bizarre.
Sour grapes.In touch with a few Peterborough fans through Speedway.It may be sour grapes but many feel Toney will never be anything more than a useful squad player at this level
he will be unless he gets injuredSour grapes.
Could easily be the top scorer in the Championship this season.
Toney has already had a spell of being bought by Newcastle and then getting barely a sniff of first team action.Surely there's an argument that we should have been first choice for him anyway - for the same reason that Maupay chose us over Brighton, and Mbeumo turned down Marseille. He had a clear route in to the team here and we have the track record of improving players and so on. Sitting on the bench at Palace or Newcastle - after you get replaced by some expensive loanee after you don't score for 2 or 3 games - is good for the bank balance but maybe not good for long term prospects.
Maybe it's fanciful to think he'd have turned down mega money if the offer had been there, but hopefully this works out better for all concerned.
There's also an argument that if Posh were offered £10m up front by someone in the PL, that's where he would have gone - remember, the clubs have a say in these things, too.Surely there's an argument that we should have been first choice for him anyway - for the same reason that Maupay chose us over Brighton, and Mbeumo turned down Marseille.
4" in less than a day is a proper growth spurt.And he’s still growing.
I daresay he knows how football works by now.Darragh is a bit gobby but l still find him a good listen.
I wish ,it would almost double size me4" in less than a day is a proper growth spurt.
Didn’t Said have a similar flurry of goals last season? One was a hat trick, so I guess there could have been a blank as well.When did a Bees player score two or more goals in 3 consecutive games?
Wonder if he be more valuable than Ollie when he is sold.
Very few can resist the Club Hypnotist.What an absolute beast ! Love a striker who has good feet and can win a header, **** knows what these Directors of Football do at Prem teams, how was he not picked up this Summer. What a bonus for us
