Why?

He takes the ambition out of our possession. I want to put a stake through the heart of that.

Let Skipp be the backup 6. I am certain PEH will wind up playing too much if he stays.

(PEH did put in a really outstanding last ditch tackle today. I am not blind to the things he offers.)

Taiwo Awoniyi might be a better option from Forest than Johnson.

Depends what we are looking for. I'd be surprised if we were after Jonhson to play as striker

 

[JDefoe]

Johnson looks a threat

 

[Celt]

If you guys can get Jota for free you should absolutely jump on it. He's a class act

Would love him back at Paradise but I'm sure the wages that will be on offer elsewhere will be too much. Don't be stealing our Jota song like the Postecoglu song

He may be the one we get. Going to be interesting to see how long Ange sticks with Richy

 

[Shadydan]

Need a direct winger - I'd take Johnson and defo need a striker

Johnson can play central?

 

[McCOYS]

We need a good CF and a back up CB.

I’m pretty sure he has before.

 

[Sir Archibald Crooks]

Good start, good atmosphere around the club and no European football. This is a real opportunity to do something decent this season which didnt seem likely afew weeks back. Centre back, winger and a centre forward whilst getting 6 or 7 out the door and we'll be in a very good place.

Lot to do in 6 days time

Yeah it feels unlikely tbh but that should be the aim.

Wouldn’t play him there, has all the downsides that Son does and his pace is much less useful centrally compared to out wide

I genuinely think Son at CF is better than anyone we could buy in the next 6 days.

There have been iterations of this Forest team playing two strikers with Johnson one of them. I'd definitely say, he's better out wide

Agreed. Would rather sign a winger right now and then see what happens in January, and Toney will be available then

I don't see the need for a winger as much as we need a CF and a back up CB.

We've got Gil back, probably in October, and Solomon waiting on his chance.

Really not sure Gil will cut it and Kulu despite todays goal, seens a bit off it and i think may be a better option central. I think we're ok on the left with 1 of Son/Richarlison, Perisic and Solomon but less so on the right which is i guess why they want Johnson.

Solomon can play on the right though can't he? I think he did on his brief appearence as a sub last week.

Unless of course I was dreaming.

 

[tommyboyspurs]

moukoko will be superstar i would get him and johnson in

 

[JDefoe]

Johnson barely gets a kick tbf. If anyone can do proper scouting of him in this Forest side it’s hard to do.
