Don't forget Sarr
That's the thing, right?
The club has a scouting network with deep, intimate knowledge of hundreds of players.
But the actual decision makers have to synthesize that information in an intelligent but second-hand way.
That's what fans are imitating.
Haha thought soProbably get slaughtered for saying this....newsnow
I am biased tbh but I would like him. Not worth £50m but the market is a bit fucked and frankly it’s not my money so I don’t give a shit. We’re a rich club and IF he’s the player Ange really wants then we should buy him.
Obviously I don’t know how true it is about Ange wanting him badly but if it is true then get him in.
Good player with a high ceiling. Probably better players out there but I think he’d fit into our system really well, and also makes sense re HG.
If Ange wants him, then let’s get him.
I wouldn't be surprised, he plays a lot of fantasy football, he should be aware of budget options like Johnson.
Gil, Richarlison? Overpaid for crap there.
Bet you weren’t saying that 18 months ago at the end of Conte’s first season.
Very little in the way of criticism then,
What’s his ceiling in your opinion?
Trying to get on board.
Like his pace
Romero is rolls Royce defender as well.
I haven't seen much of this Johnson fella, so I checked out a YouTube highlights compilation and the first two actions were:
1) Him playing on the shoulder of the defender to score directly in front of goal.
2) Driving towards the byline and assisting with a low driven cross.
If this is a fair reflection of his profile as a player, I can see why he'd be high up Ange's list of targets. Looks like he could provide things that both Kulu and Richy don't.

He’s probably aware of him but he’s a busy man. Was still manager of Celtic last season, doubt he had time to watch loads of Forest games.
I would imagine he’s watched a bit and has had scouts explain Johnson’s profile etc and feels it fits.
By the way, Johnson didn't come off injured this weekend did he?
There was some suggestion to that effect in the other matches thread, but I saw no chatter about an injury online.

We played forest twice last season and in the Cup the season before I think.
Then you are assuming nobody watches other teams?
But salah can go past players just like that in the box. Remember he did v us.
He can but without his burst, it’s tougher for him now.
Well he’s superb at getting the ball down the pitch - great dribbling and running with it.
Also very good at getting in behind the defence.
We would need our central midfielders to bomb it down the pitch though when he goes on those runs…to give him an outlet. Looks like with the likes of Bissouma and Sarr we won’t have an issue with that!
Sarr especially
Im
Not so sure he really presses that hood. Does he press like the dippers forwards did v toon with 10 men. I’ve never really seen him press hard and win the ball back or curve a mistake. A lot of the time he just jogs over hall heartedly.
Here’s an interesting article from 2022…
Note the last paragraph with interest!
