Simon Jordan expressed his disappointment with Ivan Toney after hearing the Brentford striker had agreed a contract to sign with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli
Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony has poured some cold water on hopes of a big payday for his club after Ivan Toney ’s Brentford departure.The final fee for the deal was reportedly £40million, below earlier expectations, with many theorising that the 28-year-old’s eight-month ban for breaching betting rules played into the drop in price.
“Something was better than nothing, but I think the gold bullions that everyone thinks we made, I think we’ve got to wait four years for the money over time. It is what it is, it’s another nice bit of business by our football club and we move on.”It’s easy to see why expectations were high too.
“I’m still gutted that nobody thought £30m-£40m was worth the punt for a player with his ability, players like him always go longer in their careers at his age so I was never worried about him being 28, I honestly thought he’d be a difference maker at an Arsenal.and I said to Darren when they were being hammered by Liverpool, my god you spend £100million on two young pups who couldn’t hit a barn door .
