Gabby Agbonlahor insists he does not regret claiming footballers would move to Brentford for less money rather than sign for Newcastle United. However, the talkSPORT pundit then went on to suggest the Magpies should move for Bees' striker Ivan Toney this summer.
Agbonlahor has proven to be a controversial pundit among the Toon Army in recent seasons, firstly stemming from his repeated defence of former boss Steve Bruce. The radio commentator believed the head coach 'deserved a chance' after the takeover, despite Newcastle's winless start to the season and their poor form in 2021.
In November last year, Agbonlahor claimed prospective transfer targets would pick a move to recently-promoted Brentford over a St James' Park switch. The former striker insisted players would not want to live in the North East, and would accept lower wages to live in the capital.
