Caleb has scored once in 28 or something like that
He’s not fit to lace Ivan toneys laces at the same point in his career.
If we signed someone who’d scored one in 28 we’d soon be moaning and rightly so.
I think there are some caveats to that.
Toney's initial goals came in league two against inferior opposition. Caleb had very few starts in a team struggling to create chances.
I also think that Caleb will end up being a different type of player to Toney. He's more of a deep-lying creative forward than an out-and-out centre forward.
However, I agree with you that we definitely shouldn't be going into this season
relying on Caleb to be our elusive 15+ goalscorer. If he stays then I would think that he will continue to be used as a game-changing option off the bench more often than not.
It will be interesting to see who Brady prefers up front today. BAS and Kabamba seem to have been his preferred pairing so far, but that may be because Rose is isolating.
I would find it hard to choose between BAS, Kabamba and Rose on current evidence so it may be a case of picking the players who are in form and (hopefully) scoring goals.
