As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are all interested in Toney with Brentford willing to let the player leave for a fee of £60m.
Arsenal sent scouts to Reading's EFL Trophy match against Exeter on Tuesday with the Gunners interested in 18-year-old English forward Caylan Vickers and 18-year-old New Zealand defender Tyler Bindon.
Arsenal are also interested in 19-year-old English forward Jamie Bynoe-Gittens at Borussia Dortmund.
Whilst I think Toney (as a player) would make an ideal striker for us, I just don't see us making a bid, mainly because of his being found guilty of (Illegally) Betting on games, seeing as Arsenal used to be a By-word for "Class", something that was lost under Wenger and is part of the History & Culture that Arteta is trying to reclaim and once more make part of the club's image & culture.
We wont get Toney for 60m and I still dont believe pep's cone boy wants to sign another striker - jesus is his guy and nketieh is a guy happy to be back up and wont ruffle feathers, so el basque wont want to rock the boat with a high price signing that will expect to play.
We'd have been in for Toney 365 in the summer only for his indiscretions to scupper it - we'll definitely be back in January. He's changed agents recently and has been swooning at us on podcasts - the starts are aligning.
