There has to be better out there
It's not just about the simple stats like what you're talking about, the bigger question is if he would be a good fit in our setup. And I have every confidence in our recruitment team to find the best options with the data at their disposal whether that be Toney or someone else.
Kai Havertz wasn't setting the world alight with his stats, but Arteta clearly identified him as a player who would work in his system. Seems to have done the trick....

Arthur Rowe
He isn’t starting much this season because they know he is gone
I think he is exactly what we need
A presence striker who occupies CBs and scores goals

I fear we would over pay like we did with Richi.

Well. He has just a year left on his contract so it is not like they could hold us to ransom

Toney is nowhere near as good as Richarlison.

When i think about it, Toney would work very well in our system. Offers a big, physical presence to occupy defenders (which would do wonders for the likes of Son and Johnson, knows where the goal is and would likely get on the end of many of those balls we flash across the box.
The main issue i'd have is the fact he seems an utter clam and how that might unravel what team ethic/spirit Ange is trying to build

...and he'd be nailed on to score our annual penalty.

Very
I’ve met a lot of players and most don’t come across as their persona may show ok the pitch or in interviews whilst their playing
Rio Ferdinand was always super nice and friendly and polite too but his brother was a bell end
Finney Is Back
Luka Modric
Ditto, but I think he may have suitors higher up the food chain than us unfortunately.
Ollie Watkins would be perfect for us IMO, though of course there is no way that Villa will sell him to anyone, let alone us.
I think Solanke has a lot of good attributes to his game. As I've said before I also rate Gyokeres. Toney would do well for us as well I think.
