Brentford getting involved killed the chance of getting him for 40m. They're really our personal villains this window.
Edwards meant to be a shit training player tho
Goes without saying if Ange wants Johnson, I want him too but i'm suprised the search seems to be revolving around wingers. I know Son and Johnson have played CF at times but really I think we can do with a dedicated CF to challenge Richy rather than try and fit square pegs in round holes.

Seems odd to swap Son and Johnson wings, but neither are one footed, and Son has looked quite good on the right playing for Korea from time to time (admittedly a far lower level).
Would be nice to see a more fluid front three (Richy's best position at Everton was LW), to unsettle the opposition. E.g. Son and Johnson taking turns to run at say TAA or Shaw, who would struggle to cope with their pace and agility for a sustained period.

Hope a big chunk of that is add-ons. That's a hell of a fee.
They wanted the situation resolved. That's not the same thing as wanting him gone.
He’s homegrown, it’s the Premier League market, and everyone knows we just received £100m a couple of weeks ago
50 is the new 30. Plus paying big money shows ambition!!!
If Forest is in FFP trouble, we could get up to some funny business with Sanchez going the other way.
Forest collect a big loan fee for Johnson now, and also get Sanchez now with his acquisition cost amortized over the length of his deal, and we have an obligation to purchase on 1 July next year that hits Forest's 24/25 books as pure profit since he's homegrown.
Sanchez priced at 20M, five year contract, hits at 4M each season.
10M loan fee up front for Johnson (net +6M for Forest's 23/24 accounts), then 20M obligated next July (net +16M for Forest's 24/25 accounts).
That's a "50M deal for Brennan Johnson".
Or we could loan-to-buy Sanchez and reverse the whole thing. Dunno what the time schedule is of Forest's money concern.
My mates nan is a massive Augsburg fan and she says he’s the best thing since Haaland. Absolute goal scoring powerhouse and an unmissable, must get talent. We simply have to get this guy. Pace, power, technique, everything.
(My mate’s nan is dead).
Lots of basic bitches regurgitating Simon Jordan-esque football finance breakdowns these days.
Does she have a hipster twitter account I can follow?
Apropos of nothing this would all make more sense to me if it were Dier we were working into the Forest deal rather than Sanchez.
Bu
by them pulling out at that level, it says to forest, he’s not worth anymore, so more likely we can get him for the 40m mark, and not 55m. Who is realistically going to pay the higher fee?
Apropo of Forest being utterly retarded. We aren't that lucky...
