Yup, we have royally screwed ourselves and our reputation in the market with these stupid deals, and it will be very difficult to right the situation.

We're honestly better off heavily investing into our academy with the kind of fees we've been paying.
Too much pressure on them is unfair
Not really when you consider the fees for Martial, Amad, Højlund. We can’t even negotiate a fair fee for young prospects.
He's worse than le Tissier. Read some of his tweets and you'll wish you could forget he existed.
Well that’s easy because on planet earth we aren’t after either of those
Well, I don't know what is the best option between:
1. Should we spend 100m on Toney and starts him most games because you shouldn't spend 100m on a 27 years old striker just to be a rotation option with 21 years old striker. Or
2. Develop Hojlund by playing him a lot of games and sign cheaper striker to provide him a competition so we have someone else that we can rely on if Hojlund is underperforming.
There is no such a thing called pressure off when playing for Man United regardless option 1 or 2. We have given him big pressure after we spent huge on him anyway.
May be someone like Dominic Calvert Lewin (contract expired in 2025) who is proven PL striker who scored 13 league goals and 16 league goals in a season before can be a cheaper striker to provide competition for Hojlund.
When he first signed I was all for option 2,however now I am moving more towards option 1 but don't see us doing that for two reasons. The first being our FFP situation and the second because they won't want to be seen as just discarding him.

Be funny to see him now do eff all
He's a moron. He came out saying he'd prove his doubters wrong. Who was ever doubting him?!
I wouldn’t bet against him.
Come to us! Come to us!
He'll cost us silly money and it's hard to say if he's still as consistent and driven as he was before his ban.
If anyone would spend a huge amount of money on a betting coupon, it will be us. And he will properly fall into some problems and can’t score.
Great player but clearly a tosser. Would stay well away.
He can now bet on how many goals he will score till the end of the season.
Seems an absolute arrogant knobhead.
He'll score a hat trick at the weekend, go to Arsenal and then flop harder than Bastian Schweinsteiger did with us.
He loves himself doesn't he? There is being confident and then there's being Toney. I remember when there was that video of him saying Feck Brentford too. Does have it in him to play for a top club I think but his attitude stinks.Hang on, I thought he said he owed Brentford and would help them stay up ?
That was like a few days ago, now he is saying he could be tempted to leave ?
Hmmm

Fantastic striker but seems like the kind of character we shouldn't add to the squad right now.
A hard no. I'd spend those 80-100m Brenford would demand on someone else. Let Arsenal or Spurs have him.
Imagine coming back from a long absence and one of his first interviews is to talk about moving to a different club. No idea why Brentford fans would like that.
Comes across as a right prick. I also don't think he's nearly as good as he's made out to be.
Apparently EtH likes a character in the camp though?
Abit of a arrogant bellend.
Passed the first rehearsal.
He's class!
He’s pretty much exactly what we need. Just a shame about all the controversy surrounding him, maybe the club will want to steer clear.
Proper baller
Shame that we are not even thinking (or having funds) to sign him. He is nearly everything what you want from no9.
Not all about the player though. It’s about the right character in the dressing room…
Didn't watch the game but the fact that he completed a full 90mins after that time out shows all the character I need.
He completed a 16 week training course to be ready for the game.
My commentators were lauding him as a returning hero. Brief mention of a suspension but no explanation as to why! When I was a kid we used to say "cheaters never win".
He might be fairly (no pun intended!) good but I don't want him around.

Toney is box office. The big team that bags him will be blessed
