Yes that’s a good point.
But did he want him for a squad that was being built for Conte or did he want him as a young talent that he’d identified.
He made a gaff with Richy doing the former.
He’s obviously a great judge of young talent doing the second one with Udogie and Sarr.
But like I said, it’s going to the back of my mind because it’s clear Johnson is happening and he’s going to rip it up in Lilywhite.
Have we ever had a bad Welshman ? (Don’t actually answer this question)
Presumably the later if we're still after him..... That's the point.
The #1 target stuff could just as easily be journo hype to jazz things up a bit.
If he's been scouted over the long term and Ange approves; that's the two main things..... Ange isn't gonna approve a 50m player for the sake of it.
