Ange will walk from his contract before he is pushed. I think he will be the first manager to say fuck it, promises have been broken since day one and I can’t work in the conditions.
Intend to agree. His towing the party line generally abd saying things like we will find diff types of players and so on. However his gonna get pissed that we made a great start to the window. Then did nothing until season started and got one cb. Then nothing again until last day. How can he plan?
 
Yeah but Danny Boy knows it's Ange's biggest friggin gig ever to be our HC, so he won't kick up a fuss the way Jose & Conte did. And even if/when the Big Fella went on one, Levy gonna tell him to eff off, firing him would cost zilch compared to previous payoffs. And he'll find another donkey for the job.

The modus operandi is so well known.
Exactly!
 
What is the point? Is he that much better than philipps or dorrington. Keep the money and proper quality once we have scouted properly.
No pint going for last min desparate bargain basement deals.
As much as I hate Levy, I hadn’t ever considered he would make a signing of absolute fucking poverty like Lloyd Kelly - he is probably a nice bloke in real life and a hard working pro, but just his name alone is so uninspiring, he sounds like a dentist or an accountant, not the baller to sort our defence out.

Lloyd fucking Kelly, I thought Brighton gazumping us was bad, now we’re buying a player that Bournemouth fans boo

You fucking cunt Levy, I hope you shit a hedgehog
 
For me, that bold is a low, low bar. that said, we've been linked with Johnson for some time (since Forrest's promotion year) but when I've watched all I've seen is a runner low on technical ability. Open to modify/evolve my perspective based on new evidence. His pace will improve matters over Kulu's contributions. Good to see you're comfortable with this move...I shall relax a bit then.

That's kinda what the eye test says, yes. I been trying to watch very closely, and if I squint hard enough, I've seen passages of play, where Johnson has shown a nice touch on the ball and some nice interchanging play with mates in congested areas. Not a lot of this going on at Forest but I believe there is untapped potential with Johnson. No science behind this just 78% belief and 26% hope

For me this is not Sissoko 2.0

Brennan Johnson, Conor Gallagher and Lloyd Kelly really does sound like the deadline day haul for Partick Thistle in 1978.

It could be Sessegnon MK2 though.
A lot of comparables:
Young home grown player who set the championship alight.
First season in PL dropped off considerably ( yes I know , more so in Sessegnons case).
Lot of PL clubs interested but that cooled after that first season in the PL but we were still hovering while other big clubs backed away.
Even the build and characteristics are similar. Possibly not physical enough , both go missing and both look a bit timid.
As we've seen with Sessegnon , he seems to lack confidence and belief and looks like a rabbit caught in headlights at times. As if the move was too big for him.
Getting the same vibes with Johnson , although not to quite the extent as with Sessegnon. 50/50 on this one.
Certainly would expect a player costing £50m to immediately improve our first eleven.
