What are your thoughts on Brennan Johnson? Is he better than Awoniyi and Gibbs White?

Yes that is what I have been saying. Why splunk £50M on someone whose fast ok abd scired 8 goals last season for a team that generally plays on the counter. We need a proper CF as we have quality midfiekd which help create chances. Spend on a proper goal scorer and CB.Why can't we use Solomon out on the right and spend money on an actually good striker? £50m on Johnson is dreadful
Yeah agree but that’s on the coach tbh. I expected more from Conte - his Chelsea side were bold and good to watch. I think Mou probably sold Levy a different style too eg not Mou 2.0 but quickly defaulted to protocol.When you hire Mourinho, you don’t get attractive football. The fans singing “we’ve got out Tottenham back” yesterday seem pretty happy with the style of play the coach is embedding.
I am too. Gréât work ange.
Who put the ball in then?........fuckin Glen Hoddle??.........
Darwin looks like he’s lost half a stone of muscle, v lean. Was too big and strong last season. One to watchYes that is what I have been saying.

Until Darwin scored two just was thinking cheeky loan bid. Has much better technical ability than rich. Back to Johnson underwhelming and over priced. Sure Solomon could do a job.

Gordon looks better now, when he's playing for a better team, when you compare Gordon at Everton vs Johnson at Forest, Johnson is well clear.The thing is, Gordon is better than him and even then the price for Gordon was a massive overpay.
I think deep down Ange knows his crap but is giving him a chance as he cost £60M just last season. However o have no doubt he’ll dump him soon as he can. Best place would be Saudi league as I can’t see anyone in the PL would even pay 10M for him. In fact aoart from May be a few teams at the bottom which other PL team would have him as a starting CF?Balanced and infiormative - thanks. Let's hope we get this done.
To those who say shame Sanchez if he is involved in a possible swap, it's as clear as day Postecoglou wants ball players across the field.
It's why Misshitharlison could be the first big casualty in January
I would say he is a simple but effective dribbler he's quick so that helps.
Is this a poll?
His stride is top 3 RW in the prem
Think we’d still be below Bournemouth after this
In both directions, I'd advise.We now have a manager who is trusting young players and playing attractive football and everyone’s happy. Things move quickly.

Probably a ruse. Most of our recent signings have been under the radarI think deep down Ange knows his crap but is giving him a chance as he cost £60M just last season. However o have no doubt he’ll dump him soon as he can. Best place would be Saudi league as I can’t see anyone in the PL would even pay 10M for him.

This is simple but the best case that’s been made for signing Johnson.The same way Pep needed Sterling and Sane for his system despite being a possession first manager, you always need pace especially in the Prem.
Apart from scoring yes. Similar workrate but better cross and tighter dribbling, and touch. Maybe Johnson will step up when he joins us but I've not been wrong about a player in a while.
Was it? Same price as Diaby and similar to say Kulu (when you include the loan fee). The price for a 21 year old is much higher than a 30 year oldThe thing is, Gordon is better than him and even then the price for Gordon was a massive overpay.
In our system he will have flexibility to move around and find space anywayThis is simple but the best case that’s been made for signing Johnson.
We’ve lost pace since Son slowed down. We could use pace up front.
Could see Johnson playing central for his pace
So Salah, Saka, Sterling, Diaby, Bowen all died?
