Wonder if they'd be prepared to enter into a convoluted loan-with-an-option/obligation-to-buy mechanism to help us sign him?

Yes, one of those wonderful if he plays 10 there is obligation to buy sort of deal would be nice.

Everton apparently interested in signing Toney.

That feels like a really good fit for all parties.

The loan/delayed sales is smart business.  A chunk more of the fee is amortised and their fees covered. The down side is the loan club get to ‘try before they buy’ but on a human level I think that makes sense too.

Not sure too many clubs (or players) will want to humour us on that one after the Harvey Elliott fiasco.

I meant from a sales perspective but suspect you’re right when buying.

[Toronto Villa]

I liked Curtis Jones. We should get him on loan and play him for 10 games.
