Sterling or Toney?

I do think it’s quite telling no-one has snapped up Toney, especially when strikers are at a Premium.

It’s possible, but becoming increasingly rare. I don’t see it myself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All the players that got 19+ league goals last season had between 2.5 - 3.0 as many shots on goal as Hojlund.

I don't expect that we will suddenly start creating him double or more chances, but I do expect some improvement. If he was playing at City then I have no doubt he'd manage 20+.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I’m just saying not many strikers score 20+ league goals in the Prem anymore, and the ones that do are generally bona-fire world class.

Salah
Kane
Suarez

But James Beattie managed once so who knows, there’s certainly similarities in their game.

I went to school with a lad called James Featherstone who played with Beattie at Blackburn as a kid. He was his best man at his wedding. Didn't make it at top level football, but became an agent.

Ian Holloway speaks very highly of him:

Me too.

Spurs went for Solanke instead. That says a lot.

As a rival fan I’d rather you got Sterling. Toney would immediately improve United and guarantee goals.
It’d be a shrewd signing and a good bit of business at the amounts quoted. That’s why I can’t see it happening 😂
