Sounds like Mr. Levy is getting excited, he just received his Tesco clubcard vouchers in the postA huge budget. Can't wait for us to 'try' to spend it

Really have to question this one. Orban is approx €30M half the price. Johnson’s goals and assist are not that great.
Honestly, this guy for 70, Johnson for 50, these are just nutty figures when you see wham getting a talent like Kudus for 40m.
There has to be talent out there they can scout without getting ripped off.
Yea that is what I heard as well. Why don’t we just get a CF? Or get gift who would a lot less risk and price.
Sounds like Ange is very keen. A more versatile player and PL experienced. Plus of course helps our HG quota.
Just think that would be £110M on rich and Johnson and not a 20 goal or assist a season player between them! We waste so much money on crap. City are buying doku for roughly sane price as Johnson. Is diaby just as good? Just bloody get eze if we are splunking on Johnson.
Tottenham tipped to land deadly £55m striker who'll gladly join Ange Postecoglou
Lille centre-forward Jonathan David is reportedly 'keen' on joining Tottenham this summer, as Ange Postecoglou searches for a Harry Kane replacement.www.teamtalk.com
Tottenham reconsider Paratici striker target
According to transfer journalist Ben Jacobs, David ‘cannot be ruled out’ as Tottenham’s next striker signing. But, he could be an expensive addition.
“Jonathan David remains a really interesting one. If we are talking about fees, that’s a very high fee, somewhere in the region of 60 to 65 million Euros (£50-55m) but it could come down because David is keen on the move,” Jacobs told Last Word on Spurs.
“This is an interesting one because the only name if Kane left under Paratici that Tottenham were really seriously exploring when they first got wind, probably around March or April, that the Kane situation might be changing against them.”
“The only name that they put forward to begin with was Jonathan David, but that was under Paratici and under Conte or interims, now again Postecoglou is going to have his say.
“I know some other Premier League clubs have looked at Jonathan David and they are not so sure about whether or not he’ll be a fit for Premier League football.
“The stats suggest he will but the reality is can he do it at a different pace and level? That’s what I’m most intrigued to see but I certainly wouldn’t rule out David.”

What did Fabrizio Romano say about Tottenham Hotspur and Jonathan David?
Romano insisted that Spurs have been keeping tabs on the 23-year-old for a while now, though his transfer could fail to materialise due to Lille's lofty asking price.
The transfer expert claims that a fee in the region of €60m (£51m) would be enough to snare his services this summer, while a potential deal may also hinge on whether his current employers can find a worthy successor in time.
Speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, he said: “Jonathan David is a player they’ve been tracking for a long time, but it’s a complicated one because of the price. I’m hearing that Lille want something around €60m. They started from €65m but that now could be around €60m to sell Jonathan David, but also, they would need a replacement. So, in this case, timing is crucial, and it’s not going to be an easy one.”

€60m for David
€30m for Orban who Lille would sign with the money we gave them for David…
Brentford is a total wanker of a football club.
They are MK Dons with a gambling habit.
Diaby is much better than Johnson.
Exactly why arnt we in fir kudus?
Keep Alfie then or promote dorrington?
But we’re t interested yet we now want to so end £50M on this guy. Gonna check him out on you tube.
They aren’t though. They’ve had to sell future tv rights just to tread water.
Whatever your thoughts are on Johnson, he's at least ready to play now and can legitimately put pressure on Kulu's starting spot.
Ffs might as well bring back Clarke.
We should’ve never played him vs Barca he got fucking demolished by that 16 year old and all the interest immediately dried up
Porro's release clause was 45M Euro, which as release clauses are would have been required to be paid up-front. Sporting also owed Man City a 30% sell-on, so they would only have gotten 31.5M of that 45M.
We also had 50% sell-on rights in Marcus Edwards.
So we could have had Porro for 45m on January 1.
Levy offered Sporting some sort of deal in which Sporting received back a percentage of Edwards' sell-on rights, and a loan-plus-obligation deal for Porro structured in a way to screw City out of some of their sell on fee, which would have resulted in Sporting getting their 31.5M "valuation" of Porro.
Sporting told us to go fuck ourselves. Pay the clause or go away.
January came and went amid exasperated negotiations in which Levy clearly couldn't believe Sporting weren't willing to accept deal structures which got them the same money via different means. At some point the release clause itself expired.
In the end, on January 31, Levy paid 48M, PLUS 15% of Edward's sell on rights (at least another 2-3M in market value).
In the time that had passed between Jan 1 - when Spurs could have had the deal done and Porro training in Enfield - and when it was eventually completed for MORE money, Spurs league campaign collapsed, putting the Conte situation on a terminal course to demolition.
Spurs sacked Conte a month and a half later, and the system lynchpin RWB they had denied him for two windows, then spent an extra month bargaining to a higher price than his release clause, wound up making only four league starts for him.
Porro is Levy's masterpiece in penny wise, pound foolish club mismanagement. I've never given the Levybots the time of day since. Any further defense of his chairmanship is an ideological matter, not an analytical one.
Don’t see anyone else after him?This is true actually, spending £50m on Johnson would be much better than the rumored fee climbing up into the £35m range for Orban. I have really soured on Orban as I’ve watched two of his recent games in full. What purpose does a 5’9” CF who has never won a header in his life and isn’t at all involved in build-up have in the Premier League?
Johnson’s profile is excellent, really - well sized, right sided wing forward who can play across the 3, excellent pace and burst, exuberant runs in behind, proven goal-assist record in England, only 22 - and importantly, homegrown.
Brennan Johnson’s role at Nottingham Forest: A ball-carrier in need of support
With exclusive insight from his managers past and present, we look at the stats that show why Brennan Johnson is key to Nottingham Forest’s prospects. He tops two Premier League metrics – one is a reason for excitement, the other is a cause for concern…www.skysports.com
His performance is not. He doesn’t have the required technical capability, the top footballing brain and instincts, the vision and creativity to play in tight spaces, nor is he really a top dribbler who can beat players with skill, he just sort of runs into space.
The problem is, why exactly are Forest only pricing him at £50m if he’s so important to them, and why exactly does he never really seem to impress in small spaces?
Dissapointing links
60 mill for pepe who never scored more then 10 goals in a season. Would rather vlahovic then David imo. Should of gone for diaby and vlahovic for combined 115 mill.
The pepe link screams of desperation
