Solanke > Toney

So Ange basically said we went for Solanke over Toney.

I think we got it wrong.

Neither truly elite but for me Toney is more predatory and better striker.

I was about to defend Solanke with the age argument but there's only a year in it apparently

They're both pretty average.

I think Solanke was the right deal for us in temperament, we wont see any snapchat controversies from him.

I would of liked to see Toney with us someone to proper bully defenders and his all round game is really improving at such a late time in his career. Got a strong shot on him.

We could never afford him our max wages are £150,000

We need to give Solanke time. He'd have very likely already be off the mark by now if he'd played against Everton.

Maybe Toney is the better striker, maybe he isn't, but Solanke still scored 19 goals for Bournemouth last season which is a decent return. If he'd have got the number of pens that Toney had got in his very good PL season, he'd have scored over 20 league goals as well.

We took the gamble on the man who had scored way more goals last season and who is 1 and a half years younger. The money was too much but in terms of strikers to go for, it didn't seem like a bad choice and it may yet prove to be good. He's not going to score as many as Kane but if he can reach the level of say Defoe or Keane when they were in their pomp, I think we'll be pleased.
