We are a selling club, if the right price is there.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think if it\u2019s the right time for the player to go, from my perspective that\u2019s not my decision that would be Phil [Giles, director of football] or Matthew [Benham, Brentford\u2019s owner] in the end, then I think if they have developed well with us, been on the journey, and now they\u2019re proven good enough to go to the top clubs, then I think it\u2019s the right thing, if it\u2019s the right price.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Frank was then asked about whether that also applied to Toney, who is arguably their best player, the Brentford boss said:\u00a0\u2018Yeah, I think so. I understand why there are a lot of rumours out there about him.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For me he\u2019s one of the best strikers, as a striker No.9, I don\u2019t see many out there who is better in the world than him, of course you have [Harry] Kane, [Robert] Lewandowski, [Erling] Haaland and these types, but not many.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He scored 20 goals in the Premier League last year, in, of course, a very good Brentford side but of course we are not creating as many chances as the top six or seven teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018So imagine him in a top team, he\u2019d easily score 20, 25 goals, for me. I think he\u2019s composed, he\u2019s a good finisher, top mentality, so I understand why clubs are looking at him&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Toney was hit with the hefty ban and a \u00a350,000 fine after accepting 232 breaches of the FA\u2019s betting rules.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the punishment he was unable to train with his club for the first half of the ban but has been working hard away from Brentford and was recently pictured training alone ahead of a significant step on his comeback trail.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/19\/00\/75576261-12533471-image-m-21_1695080903216.jpg\" height=\"452\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/19\/00\/75576257-12533471-image-m-19_1695080881431.jpg\" height=\"452\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Frank compared Toney to strikers such as Bayern Munich&#8217;s Harry Kane (L) and Manchester City&#8217;s Erling Haaland (R)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/19\/00\/75425433-12533471-The_striker_was_banned_for_eight_months_in_May_after_admitting_t-a-6_1695080363437.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The striker received the ban from the FA in May after admitting to 232 betting rule breaches\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In August, Toney signed a deal to join renowned sports management firm CAA Stellar in a clear indication of his intention to leave Brentford.<\/p>\n<p>Toney said: &#8216;It is very timely for me to be joining CAA Stellar.
