But you don't know how he will do. He sure as hell can't be worse than Janet and I am sure he will actually hold onto the ball like a true target man unlike Janet. I bet you will see a lot less arms waiving as well.
I am sure he will suck. He has been shit for the past 3 seasons. Adding another Amauri to our ranks, when we already have one, is a stupid move on so many levels. We are attempting to compete for a CL spot, and once we are in the CL, we will need to vastly upgrade the squad to even have a chance of going beyond the group stages. Hence, giving Toni an 18 month contract makes no sense whatsoever. It means we are likely to be stuck with him until 2012! Add to that the fact that Amauri and Iaq are still on our books (and will be difficult to get rid of, since not many clubs could possibly be that interested in the duo) and our front line looks like a complete and utter joke.
I think your disdain for Amauri is already clouding your view of Toni. He was so poor at Genoa (second least-scoring team in Serie A) that they didn't care to keep him.
Yeah he was solid/good at Fiorentina, he scored 47 in 67...I love how things get dumbed down as and when people like it. In Palermo he scored 20 in 35 in Serie A. Then Bayern, 38 in 56.
Sadly this player doesn't exist anymore, I'd love to be wrong. Can't say the same about everyone.

Two solid/good seasons at Fiorentina led to a move to Bayern Munich; he was stellar there during his first year. He has been mediocre, if even that, ever since. He was nothing special before that either. I really didn't see much in him during his Palermo days.
