Ivan Toney. Missed a bargain there. Watch him go for £40 million to a PL club soon. (n/m) (Other Football) - jimbo, Oct 22, 05:08:32
- A few of us said it at the time. I’m pretty happy with our striker options but (Other Football) - Jim, Oct 22, 07:45:26
  - I said her was perfect for us. Would be scoring shed loads in this side. Suspect deal too. (Other Football) - WalksietheReturn, Oct 22, 08:52:20
    - Not doubting Toney's ability... (Other Football) - SimonOTBC, Oct 22, 11:48:30
    - Wouldn’t have thought so. They got him for about £6m didn’t they? Don’t pay huge wages. (n/m) (Other Football) - Jim, Oct 22, 09:17:47
      - They were never going to pay that when we had Pukki and young Idah. (Other Football) - WalksietheReturn, Oct 22, 11:55:37

      - I agree. The line that may have been used is ‘put yourself in the shop window this season’ (NCFC) - DH Yellow, Oct 21, 13:23:35
      - He did that after he was unfairly compared to Emi in our promotion season (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Oct 21, 13:02:56
        
        no one compared him to Emi. HTH (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 21, 16:05:14
        
        From the promotion year when he came in for the injured/suspended Emi (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Oct 21, 16:16:27
        
        that is specifically not comparing to him to Emi (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 21, 16:31:57
        
        Todd got a hard time when he stepped in for Emi during our promo season. Surely people can (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Oct 21, 16:40:21
        
        your constant passive-aggressive act is quite wearisome (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 21, 17:09:15
        
        Whilst I agree with you (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 21, 17:52:17
        
        Thank you. That was all I was trying to say. (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Oct 21, 18:49:09
        
        I'm not sure that was necessarily a comparison vs Emi though (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Oct 21, 18:00:15
        
        A lot of fans saw Todd as failing to fill Emi's boots. I think Todd faced more pressure (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Oct 21, 18:50:07
