Has anyone taken notice of Luca Toni

He has scored 24 times this season for Fiorentina, and seems to do it for fun.

What are folks thoughts on this guy, and would he suit a move to Liverpool ??

He would come at a high price. Maybe 12-14 Million. If Rafas willing to spend that on a striker in the summer (which he may well do) he may as well pursue Michael Owen

Agree. He is running riot in the Serie A. Don't think for 1 minute that he'll go to England next season.A guy like that will ultimately be overpriced after the World Cup, and he'll be way out of our league.

His the reason why the v good Bojinov doesnt play

This bloke is the real deal. Tall, strong, great touch, lethal finisher. Ive backed him for top scorer in the World cup at 33/1 in ladbrokes. Its about time someone mentioned him on this site, only thing is he is 29 and would cost a few bob. Plus, Fiorentina only signed him at the start of the season and i wouldnt say they would be too willing to let him go when they might be playin champions league themselves next season.

Been watching a fair bit of Italian football on Bravo this season. Luca Toni looks quality. He was the main reason Italy tore Germany apart 4-1 in a recent friendly. Quite a physical player and I'm sure he'd cut it in the Premiership.

Basically it's probably only a matter of time before a big club comes in for him but he'll almost certainly stay in Italy. I don't think it's a matter of not being able to afford him, the top Italian players generally stay in Italy these days because the national team selection is completely biased towards players playing in Serie A. That's why it was a major surprise recently that Vieri got a recall despite playing in France.

You only have to look at Zola who should have got far more caps and Cudicini, who for a while was playing far better for Chelsea than Buffon was for Juve but never got a look-in.

i thought he was a car salesman

not seen him play but i am not a fan of risking another 14 million an a player banging the goal home in a foreign league, who will take time to settle in

Worth the money at that much, would be brilliant signing

I said FOR A WHILE.

Buffon had a dodgy season for Juve at the same time as Cudicini was the best keeper in the premiership. There were loads of calls for Cudicini to be in the Italy team at that time.

Luca Toni is pure quality but I doubt he is going anywhere.

Why not get Bojinov for cheap since he sits on the bench at Fiorentina.
