Brands – Toivonen is not for sale

Posted by

PSV Eindhoven’s chief Marcel Brands on Saturday admitted that Liverpool had inquired about Ola Toivonen.

According to a report in the Dutch press, Brands also restated that the Swedish striker is not for sale. PSV is aspiring to win the Eredivisie this season and Toivonen had already played for them in the Europa league which cup-tied him from all European competitions. PSV’s coach Fred Rutten on Friday had also revealed that Toivonen is not for sale.

The Swedish media had earlier reported that Liverpool had made an 11 million euros bid.

Roy Hodgson had admitted last week that he wanted to sign another striker before the summer transfer window ended. With this setback Roy will probably shift his focus back to EPL and try to recruit one of the strikers that had been linked with Liverpool including a return of Peter Crouch (who has not played in Europe) or Manchester City’s Shaun Wright-Phillips.

  1. How Demoralizing ? Again the funny crouch and SWP story will surface !!!!!!!!!!!! Pathetic..

    SWP is not a striker and Crouch is no LFC matter anymore + how many veterans do we need ?

  2. Where are Bryan Ruiz, Artem Mileviskiy ,Romelu Lukaku, Asamoah Gyan and Wolfswinkel stories …Where are they ???

  3. One more thing..as per some press reports we had signed Remy months ago..we know how that panned out!!

  4. Thanks Antoine, agreed LFC asked the terms of the sale after tabling a 11m euro offer but Brand looks to have said Toivonen’s not for sale,,, I really hope this is Brand playing hardball, Toivonen would drop in nicely, we need to become a goal machine to stay anywhere near the top of the table with the usual suspects scoring half a dozen goals for fun.

  5. Roy PLEASE sign only…
    1) Rafael Van De Vaart
    2) Remy OR Jermain Defoe OR Michael Owen
    3) John Arne Riise

    Sign OUT:
    1) Diegi Cavalieri
    2) Insua
    3) Lucas

    KEEP..
    1) Mascherano
    2) Babel

  6. I dont know how good Toivonen is but I think it’s better than to bring Crouch back.
    Any way, SWP would be a welocome addition, especialy if Kuyt leaves.

    Maybe it would be worth it to loose Kuyt if he leaves for 15 mil. and get Toivonen and SWP.
    Babel and Maxi are also able to play right wing.

  7. why do u guys still want to keep babel?..one goal n he’s a hero?..ngog scores more than him n got so much stick..no 1st touch..dunno how to beat the opponent..the only way for him to run is when nobody is marking him…please stop imagining the babel we knew when he was at ajax..

  8. I’ve seen this guy a few times, and I must say the lad looks good. He’s two footed, would give us an aerial prowess and although not the fastest, is really quick to the ball. His reaction time is good too. All in all, looks bright. YNWA.

  9. Please don’t consider signing Risse he is gone and not good enough for our club! Remy has already been signed by Marseille! Why not try Darren Bent?

  10. Let Mascherano and Kuyt leave if they no longer want to play for the reds,,,, sign Ruiz and Toivonen to enable us to rotate the attack, buy Salcido to solve the left back issue and SWP. Then all we need to do is utilize the promising youth players to bring them on and be able to deliver a sustained quality performance in all the games we hope to face in the Premier league, Europa league and domestic cups. There will be no acceptance of failure this season due to injuries. It really is time to deliver.
