Just read on a site Ivan Toney's name mentioned as a possible option come January. Any truth in these rumours and if so would any of you be happy with him? I would

9 clubs are apparently interested, very difficult to sort out, there could be tax ramifications involved, he’s on 440 k weekly, in the east, no clubs want to get involved in his personal business, just for a loan
Spurs and Chelsea, have the clout, if the player is interested, to maybe go for a loan with option
WH just don’t see it, on this one, WH are on the move, they have to get people in, but I don’t see WH having the clout, to sort this one, just my view mate

I’ve read that they are moving away from Toney as an alternative has been offered on loan with obligation, but they’re not letting on who it is, anyone got any info.

I think your referring, to Castellanos, whom WH had two previous opportunities to buy him, from the MLS for 9 m, and from Lazio, last year for £25 m, he’s better In comparison to what we have, but he’s Bowens pace, He is no speed merchant
WH are limited by funds So he’s in the upper tier of what we can get

If Toney returns to England he’ll probably go to Spurs.

Firstly I don’t think we could get anywhere near his wages, also Ii don’t think any half decent player will look at West Ham until we start moving up the league and I don’t think many people want to deal with our board.
Let’s hope our form now improves and we move up the league and a buyer comes in for the club………. oh well we can dream

Hammer-D, no we wouldn’t but not many would. Looking at it from Toneys perspective a loan move in January surely would only be to put himself in Tuchels plans for the WC. In that regard and if its therefore not about money a short term move to WH may be the perfect option …. He’d be guaranteed a start, which he wouldn’t if he went to the money clubs and puts himself firmly in the shop window if he can help turn our season around, which I think he would. Stranger things have happened although I would say I could only see a straight loan happening not a loan with an option/obligation

Fair point daber I didn’t think about the WC. Would still find it difficult to see him wanting to join us or us paying his wages even only for 6 months. I think we will be looking in the modern day Hartson / Kitson area

Toney’s wages alone make it a total non-runner, Although he’d improve our team vastly. The morale would drop due to his money and players like Bowen n Pacquetta would expect equal parity pay. It would be a massive mistake, he’s ‘reportedly’ on £20m per year.

Blimey, Brooking, for once that sounds sensible coming from you! However, you overlook the fact that, under a loan agreement, a negotiated portion of his wages could be paid by his parent club.

For once Tin Legs. Try not to be a snake! You constantly snipe like the holy growl of knowledge. We all have our opinions. Accept them.

Brooking, I do accept that people are entitled to their opinions, but I don’t have to accept what they are saying if I disagree with the substance.
