Exactly.
So I stand by my initial comment that he was brilliant for about three years.

I actually like Luca Toni but I don't think he was brilliant but rather okay to good. He didn't impress other than the league matches. I think he was really good in his Fiorentina last season before leaving. In Bayern, he scored lucky and undeserved goals a-la RVN style if you ask me.

Lucky and undeserved goals? 
The charge people always make against strikers they don't like.

I like the guy, he's no Ibrahimovic or Cassano in my book. I just don't think he was brilliant, just like I never thought RVN was brilliant in his Manchester days.

He was always where he should have been, he knew how to escape from his markers and score almost every match. Great in the air and at the right place on the ground.
Kinda like Pippo Inzaghi, who still doesn't get the deserved respect. But it's really hard to argue that Inzaghi isn't brilliant at what he does and at what's supposed to be his job in the team.
The difference though is that Pippo is doing the same throughout his career, while Toni can only brag with those 3 years in his career.
Him and Pippo are/were good. Brilliant strikers at least to me has different definition or explanation. I know they do their jobs perfectly but we're not in the 90's anymore. Attackers are obliged to return back, help the middle, open space for themselves, assists etc.
Rooney for example, had a brilliant season last season, he didn't score much but he played the perfect striker role that is required in today's football. Wayne Rooney is a player I can't also. Just to point out Red's silly mark concerning that I don't like Luca.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a brilliant season with his Inter's last season yet he didn't score more than half of what Luca scored 2 or 3years.
Another example, Vieri was recognized very well and really appreciated in the 90's and he was scoring goals for fun, he continued doing them in 2000's but he wasn't as appreciated as he was because Football has changed.

Why would you be afraid of me?
I don't know, why would I? Because I said I like Luca Toni and you said otherwise that I'm bragging about him because I don't like the striker.
It's either that I'm afraid of you and that's why I don't want to say the truth which is that I don't like him, or you're Nostradamus and you know me more than I know myself.
All I meant was that it was an odd thing to say about a player you like.
Accusations of lucky goals is the sort of thing you usually hear against Trez or Inzaghi from folk who don't realise their great skill is their ability to be in the right place at the right time.
There is a stronger case for saying Toni was lucky because he only scored a lot for a few years, where Trez and Inzaghi have done it for most of their career's, but I still don't buy it.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Serie A on Fridays?[/FONT]
A suggestion which has been championed by Inter’s Jose Mourinho for some time, it’s now understood that the Italian Football League will ponder the proposal.
The Lega Calcio will take the suggestion seriously given that Italy is close to being overtaken in the UEFA coefficients by Germany.
Should that happen then Serie A will see its number of Champions League entrants reduced from four to three teams.
Milan and Fiorentina – Italy’s other two representatives in the last 16 of the competition – are in favour of playing games on a Friday in order to better prepare for the knock-out stages.
The Champions League restarts in February with Inter-Chelsea, Milan-Manchester United and Fiorentina-Bayern Munich.[/FONT]
