No, Johnson isn’t an outright first choice as evidenced by the fact the club were looking at Neto.
Look Brennan had an OK season and he gets too much shit on this site, but anyone that thinks a trio of Son, Solanke and Johnson gets us into the realms of even competing at the top end of the league is deluded.
Stop using stats as an argument, it’s incredibly reductive. Both Son and Johnson had statistically good seasons last year, but anyone that understands football who actually watched the game as opposed to just looking at the stats could see our wide players were a huge huge issue in our build up play and an area we needed to improve upon.
There’s a reason everyone has been talking about a “profile of a wide player” like Neto who can beat a man.
There’s some cunts on here who are unfair to our players at times, and I get we want to argue with that. But if you’re happy with Son, Solanke and Johnson as a starting trio because all 3 had decent stats last season you’re misguided as to what’s going to make us a better team this year.
Still maintain we didn’t need to do it. Kudus and other wingers were available and cheaper with a more technical skill set.
Sentence one is true, sentence two is the other side of sunk cost fallacy. The payment we could have and arguably should have ducked on Kulu wouldn't cover half of Kudus.
He's been a decent and solid squad player. But not a player who's shone enough to attract the interest of other clubs hence his longevity with us.
But sometimes you have to be ruthless. There's no room for soppyness or sentiment at the elite end of the game, I'm afraid.
Think what is meant is in the attacking front.
Not that shorty?
Either one would be a good addition to the team
Id choose Raphinha. I think it could be one of those season long loan and option to buy in a years time kind of deal.
Bakayoko looks like he's going to be an entertainer. Left footer with loads of HLs going byline to his right foot...

Think it’s been stated our offer was not accepted by wolves so they have moved onto an offer they feel is acceptable.
Yeah walk him around at half time, then bring him on to score a hattrick
I reckon they'll rope in Harry Kane to officially welcome him, and hand over 'the Crown'!!
And Mikey Moore too hopefully
And Mikey Moore too hopefully
Hopefully although watching him he has the brains, technical but still needs to add the core strength. I think he will be playing this season in parts and break out next year.
Zero links to him though and he couldn’t get in the Belgium team at the euros. Could easily be another Bergwijn buying from that league.
He was in the squad tho?
He's 21 which is very young for international football and the Dutch squad had more established older players in the front line. Players currently in bigger leagues than the Erie. Doesn't mean they are better players though as w saw with the number of minutes Cole Palmer got in the Euros.
Nasty rumour that our spending is done….hope it’s untrue
