Ola toivonen

To be announced soon deal done by all accounts is he any good

 

Is he any good I have heard the name banded around. Is he an out an out centre forward?

 

Think he's more of an in behind the striker or can play on the wing

I remember watching him for Sweden a few years back thinking he was a good player IIRC he took set pieces for them. Haven't heard/seen him play since.

Appearances and goal stats below. Good record for PSV 1 goal in every 2.27 games is pretty handy.

2003–2005 Degerfors IF 41 (8)
2006 Örgryte IS 25 (6)
2007–2009 Malmö FF 51 (17)
2009–2014 PSV 139 (61)
2014– Rennes 46 (14)
National team‡
2003 Sweden U17 2 (0)
2004–2005 Sweden U19 11 (6)
2006–2009 Sweden U21 28 (13)
2007– Sweden 43 (9)

 

106 goals in roughly 300 games not a bad record can play am or fw

 

That's league games

 

Not sure how true this is or how up to date it is but taken from Wiki.

2013–14 season
Although both PSV and Toivonen were dissatisfied after a transfer had failed, Toivonen made 14 appearances in which he scored once. In the winter break PSV announced that Toivonen would not play a single match for PSV in the second half of the season. Both the player and the club wanted to disband.

I'll be amazed if this happens

 

Dated July it's not happening

 

Yeah apparently Real Madrid where after him so no chance his free kicks are unreal.

 

Where did you see this??

He would def improve us

 

Read on Twitter a few people announced it

 

Hope it's true it's not on sky sports or anything yet like

 

'Sky sources' will report it in about an hour or 2.

 

Dick knows him well and he played with Lens in a front three in what was a very dangerous frontline. He'll bring others into play and help encourage goals from all our attacking players.

 

Who was the spearhead if you don't mind my asking?

 

So would I
