Spread-betting, suspended, England-wannabe-targetman and Brentford centre forward, Ivan Toney, is living a personal hell. He’s gone on record, saying that not being allowed to train is like “being in football prison”. He wants to try supporting Rotherham.
Given that ‘football prison’ presumably means only one 45-minute session daily out in the yard for shuttles and that he could well spend more time widening the circle of his friends, there is a fair amount of speculation as to when Too Tall Toney will be fully fit to return to high-flying Brentford and play again. No-one has been willing to hazard a guess. Until now. In a curious move, across the other side of London, West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta has said “I’d put money on it being November 17th at bang on twenty past two.”
