Whereas Edouard has been in the SPL, Europe and France U21s. I apologize, I should have been more articulate on my end regarding who I preferred as a potential LC player. It's Edouard who I prefer to Toney, not the opposite. (In hindsight I should not have posted that statistical breakdown as it shows the opposite, so once again I'm sorry for that.) Not to say that Toney is a bad player or anything as such, however Brendan Rodgers worked with Edouard in the past and Edouard has shown it on higher levels as @UniFox21 mentions where as Toney's mostly came in League 1/Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 4 May 2021 Share Posted 4 May 2021 I'm a fan of French Eddy but I would prefer Toney as I feel he would compliment Nacho better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heymister2015 Posted 4 May 2021 Share Posted 4 May 2021 We’re not in for Toney! Edouard will be all agreed behind the scenes. He wants to work with Rodgers. Leaving no room for Toney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a monetary view, the £15/20m on Edouard is better spent than £35m on Toney. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like every striker before him at Brentford, he benefits from playing in a team that actively tries to score goals. His finishes aren't particularly impressive enough for me to think spending 30/40 million on a player like him would be worth the risk. ....yes he is a messy player!!! You get the impression that he is just not good enough to play at the top level but I guess the thing is he gets himself in the positions to score. Something like that is not something that can't be coached but it is good when you have a natural on your books.

I agree, although I think he's got a soft spot for City. Someone on here also said that Peterborough will get a large sell on bonus. That could well be his reasoning.

Whereas Edouard has been in the SPL, Europe and France U21s. I tend to agree. The stat I think is the most important is the fact that he's a regular in the under 21s. We all know how good Wes junior, yet he struggles to get a game. I think that the last time he played it was at RB. Don't know whether that's because France has too many good CBs or few good CFs, which I doubt. Mind you, I suppose that if they're really good they go straight into the full team like Mbappe.

Analysethis Posted 4 May 2021 Share Posted 4 May 2021 Edouards close control is awesome and he has that trickery and link play that will excite when he plays at a Higher level. Toney hasn't really impressed me performance wise and he reminds me of them moaning footballers like Zaha. Both will be gambles considering the standard they currently play which IMO is similar but personally Id go for Edouard if he is 20m or less.

coolhandfox Posted 5 May 2021 Share Posted 5 May 2021 Toney is going to cost maybe 10m more then Edouard, we probably get Edouard for 15-20m, Brentford probably want 25m-30m of Toney. Eduardo has shown he can score in the Europa league and Rodgers knows him, so I go for Eduardo and strengthen elsewhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's another one like Durham that has no talent or deep knowledge of the game so just blurts out whatever controversial rubbish pops into his head to try and stay relevant.

Your not gettng any change out of £30m for him, Watkins set the benchmark in that sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 5 May 2021 Share Posted 5 May 2021 I'd prefer Toney if they were the same price. If Edouard lets us reinforce more elsewhere then it's probably the smarter deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree, from a price point of view Edouard is the right option, I've not see enough of either to make an informed choice on who is the better player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
