Don’t remember much contribution from him, good or bad. Forced Kudus out of his preferred position with isn’t ideal.

Ex-Spurs Player Brennan Johnson

Does he play as the no 9 for Wales? Perhaps we can play him instead of Richy? Richy is hopeless as a 9. And he seems to be better as a LWF. Since Johnson is so lazy, we might as well stick him up top, and he can continue to 'score goals'.
Can't understand why he got rid of Son, when it's obvious that a player like BJ is not good enough at this level.
Son in 3 years will still be a superior player.
Really idiotic decision by Frank.

Frank didn't get rid of Son, last season was always going to be his last season here regardless of who the manager was, he didn't extend his contract for a reason.
Can't think of a worse position for Johnson as a striker and I have no idea why people keep mentioning it, he's weak as fook so his hold up play and back to goal play is non existent.
Not true at all. We extended the option. It was not Son not deciding to extend it. He was our player for another season and that's a well established fact.
He also said that he wanted to stay. It was Frank who didn't have Son in his plans. But for sure we would've needed him yesterday when all we had to throw in was BJ! It's actually ridiculously stupid to get rid of a proven top scorer and assist maker in the top division.
Some say he was poor last season, but who wasn't under Ange? The entire team was poor, played out of position, and given improssible and ridiculous tasks by the clown.
Plus he was run into the ground. Every other player was injured, even the younger kids. Son was the only one who lasted, and had to play a ridiculous amount of time.
When did he say he wanted to stay?
What do you mean?
He played in less than a third of a game where we relied on a last gasp goal from a defensive midfielder, to salvage a point at home against...checks notes... the worst team in the Premier League.
Of course it's all Brennan Johnson's fault.
Who else's fault is it?
For some reason he seems so scared to recieve the ball on the wing with a player coming towards him he just panicks. Completely the opposite to when he's through on goal. He's not a striker and he's not a wide player yet put him through on goal like Doncaster and you expect him to finish it. One of the strangest players we've ever had.
Play him behind the striker, whoever that may be, certainly at home.
Heung-min Son wants to stay at Tottenham for one last season, but is it the right choice?
Heung-min Son has reportedly decided to see out his Tottenham contract, but will he continue to be one of the first names on the team sheet?

It says this in your article btw:
Reports last month claimed Frank was open to Son leaving Tottenham, but this has since been rubbished, as Frank sees Son as a ‘pivotal figure’ at Spurs.
Son also literally said in his leaving speech that it was the right time to leave the club.
If the club had it their way then they'd still be churning Son out now because he bought all those Korean tourists to the ground but he was done at the level, everyone could see it so I don't get the revisionism...the guy struggled in a pre season friendly against Reading.
Absolutely not.
We are sacrificing a position in attack, who are we dropping? we still need a left winger, Kudus and Xavi both need to play too.
He isn't a starter end of story. Sell the bloke asap.
He wasn't really part of Frank's plans. 'The report says that Frank has already confirmed he is willing to let the Spurs captain leave as he looks to rebuild the club’s squad this summer.'It says this in your article btw:

'It is explained that the new Tottenham boss has made it clear that Son is ‘welcome’ to stay if he wishes to do so, but only if he accepts that he will spend a fair amount of time on the bench next season.
The 32-year-old has reportedly accepted his fate and is open to an exit from North London this summer.'
So he could spend, probably being something like Ben Davies in the pecking order.
Now he's starting Xavi Simons instead. And look how effective that is. The other options being Tel, Odobert and BJ.
I must say Frank made the wrong decision. And of course Son is too good to be treated like that at a club where he has achieved so much.
He bagged another brace yesterday and has 8 goals in 8 games.
With Kolo, Kulu, madders and solanke back we are fine on the LW. I can see both Kolo and Maddison playing left wing, and i can also see Simons even improving on the left.
The timing of Son leaving was one of the best timing's we've had. A great 10 year relationship. A trophy. A star player going to a league where he is getting mad paid and still doing very well because it's a lower level.
Everyone needs to calm down.

In your article it directly contradicts what your said, what are we doing here?
Son is scoring in a considerably weaker league than the Prem, you can't be serious.
Sometimes but not often. In general though he is much freer in the way he plays for Wales. I wonder if it is the difference between Frank and Bellamy. Frank is more cautious, Bellamy is let's give it a lash.
Johnson needs some serious coaching to be able to receive the ball on the half turn. He also needs to be coached to use his pace to take people on. Unless he is running from deep to get on the end of something he is totally useless. Even if he tried a basic 'knock the ball past his man and race after it' he'd be twice the player. Let alone try and play a first tiem pass around the corner into Bergvall or Richy, or even play a fiorst touch one two inside to Porro. Last night's cameo was a rinse and repeat of his shortcomings. Get the ball to feet, first touch is always a safe one taking him 5-10 yards back towards his own goal. By then Porro has underlapped him so he has to pass back to Romero. Totally pointless even passing to him - Porro may as well play it long. I bet RBs love playing against him as he is so easy to mark and shut out on that flank.
Exactly right. Son literally said "I have asked to leave Spurs ... I need a fresh challenge.". Anyone saying he wanted to stay is talking BS.It says this in your article btw:
