Rudolph Speid said he was nothing more than a penalty merchant a year ago.

I think Toney is likely to be a pump and dump pick..cap tied and discarded…

At least he can from henceforth describe himself as an England international

I guess. The managers of these clubs are smart. They tell their players to wait on an England call up instead of Jamaica. When this happens their value to the club rise. Frank did it with Toney. He has been pushing him from last year. He has started with Rico Henry.

That is one reason why top players hesitate to commit. The way around this for us is to target the young ones in the Championship and EPL2. Like what Hall did with Omari Hutchinson and Joel Latiboudaire.

Based on the few goals we score we desperately need a penalty merchant.
