I think some on here are viewing Tolu through gold tinted glassses.

My most dissapointing thing about Tolu is that for a big lad he cant head in a straight line (not even sure he's hit the target with one yet). Which makes no sense and is also where most of his chances are going to come in this league. He's not fast enough to run in behind and he's not nimble enough to steal a yard on PL level defenders.

Headed goal v arsenal away?

Yep, it's the comparison to JSL who'd given up. Tolu is an absolute fucking cart horse and wouldn't even stand out in League One.

Well I look back to the goal he scored in the Cup against Everton on his debut and think you're completely wrong. He isn't great, but he's easily a top half Championship player. He's also won more duels from clearances and long balls in his few appearances to date than JSL won in his entire time at Wolves.

He's part of The List and therefore interminably tainted

To be fair, you know a forward when you see one

Fair, i'll let him have that one. On the traditional either standard jump or meeting the ball though his efforts have been poor. That’s a nice glance, but he only has to help it on its way rather than direct it if you know what I mean

 

[Del Woppio]

Tbf he played his last game for us when he was 21 so I'm technically not wrong....

Players who win duels from clearances and long balls don't stand out in League One though

Absolutely savage.

Do you have a folder of screenshots for every poster, just ready to drop at a moments notice?

I've got my own dossier for him, it's like USA and USSR pointing their missiles at each other during the 80s.

I know the people to avoid...

But I have a history of being so wrong its painful.

You know how certain things stick in your head for no reason.

My dossier is essentially Del bigging up Fabio and Jinky fuming at Neves for shooting from 30 yards because he is shit at it.

 

[Del Woppio]

Also worth pointing out that his league record on loan is 76 appearances and 25 goals - 0.33 goals per game. In this most recent La Liga spell with Las Palmas he achieved 10 goals in 24 league appearances, a scoring rate of 0.42 goals per game.

The initial claim of 40-50 goals in 120 appearances is a rate of 0.33-0.42 goals per game, so there's an argument to say that my initial statement was unerringly accurate, and worthy of celebration and the respect of students of the game, globally.

 

[Kenny]

Also an argument to say "nah"

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Jake Humphrey has sold some books, it doesn't make him the next Frederick Forsythe.

Two, in fact

 

[Derby Wolf]

Turns out Silva made 120 appearances for 40-50 clubs by the age of 23.
