CP just got scammed. Not worth half that money tbh. Good that we could recover some of the money.

We have to replace him with better, proven player. If not, it’s just going into the circle of buying and selling average players.Fully preparing myself for the first game post Johnson, when the ones slagging him will be crying we shouldn’t have sold him.
Hopefully we're selling to make way for some serious signings this window.

the bigger teams cant get away with limited players who can only play on the counter, you need actual intelligent footballers who can do more than run into a bit of space.Weird that Frank wanted to sign him at Brentford but sees him useless here. What exactly is true about those reports on Frank, I really wonder.
We’ve replaced him with Kudus.
I’m all for increasing the quality of the first team and squad and a Johnson is obviously upgradeable. Just not convinced we’ve done so with the right player.
An upgrade to me, is someone who offers Johnson’s strength of scoring, with more in other attacking areas.
probably more likely is we bring back bryan gil or timo wernerHopefully we're selling to make way for some serious signings this window.
Hang on, I thought EVERY single Spurs fan DIDN'T WANT HIM?!The worrying thing for me is this signals that the Vinai etc are all fully on-board the Frank train and are willing to get rid of anyone he doesn’t want ……..
And then after Frank is sacked, the next manager no longer favours Kudus.We’ve replaced him with Kudus.

I don’t understand this, sorry. Can you explain further please?Calling him our top goal scorer [in 24/25 season] isn't more valid than calling him our T-4th best goal scorer [in 23/24 season].
The former, oft-repeated that it is, isn't the gotcha that people with a soft spot for Johnson think it is.
It really is that simple.more luck to him.Good luck to him. He moves somewhere where he plays week in, week out. We recoup £35m and Palace get a player eager to turn his career round. Everyone is happy.
Very well putI’ll be forever grateful to him for Bilbao, and he seems like a truly top bloke.
But, this is 100% the right decision from the club. He is not, and will never ever be good enough for where we should be as a football club.
To anyone questioning this, the calibre of clubs interested should tell you all you need to know. That is his level, not a Champions League club.
Also, it has to be said that frankly this is something that would NEVER have happened under Daniel Levy. Ever.
He would have haggled, and dithered, and pondered until Palace et al got pissed off and ultimately didn’t sign him. Or else, we would have sold him on deadline day with no replacement, after getting the 42.5 million that Daniel wanted instead of 35 million. Utter bolloxology tactics, after years of which is a big reason we are in the mess we are currently in.
I for one am very pleased with how this appears to be playing out. Take the money, move on, improve the squad.
It signals that maybe, just maybe, change is afoot in how we will operate .
He scored 5 goals in all competitions in 23/24 to become our 4th highest goal scorer, joint with Romero, for that season.I don’t understand this, sorry. Can you explain further please?
