so, probably we want Johnson because a swap deal with Spence and/or Davinson might actually come off??
Would they be chasing him if that wasn’t the case?

Forest are just the low budget Chelsea, how many goddamn players do they need?
They wanted Tanguy ffs
If the the club are signing a forward player, it feels like they need to get one that brings a bit of inspiration to the fan base.
If that player isn’t out there this summer, I’d prefer they got a 3rd CB and a younger press resistant 6 to back up BOSS.

Thoughts on Bella-Kotchap (still at Southampton) ?
Impressed early last season, but not seen enough of him, always worry about defensive players from relegated teams.
He has potential, but he's not the finished product, and he'd need game time to develop that we can't guarantee.
A decent player, certainly something to work with there. Saints have good talent they were just too raw to play all together last season.
Bayern in for him (apparently)
We were linked last summer too btw.
Why?
Your contention is that on-field success will drive revenue growth.
Chelsea have had more on-field success than anyone in the world’s most popular league outside of City over the last decade or so but it hasn’t happened.
Surely, you don’t put it all down to a shabby Stamford Bridge — even then match day receipts are the smallest component of revenue. .
Sure as to the bolded, though other stadium events are counted as commercial income, as are stadium naming rights and the like (advertising hoardings I'm not actually sure, tbh). And money is money, a 50M advantage there is as good as a 50M advantage in TV money.
Why has Chelsea been a laggard in the global megabrand commercial stuff? Mostly because their project has been evil and charmless, and a lot because Roman didn't really care to put the effort in.
And all of that is to say, Chelsea still brought in a ton of revenue.
Looking to the future, more matchdays in the revised Champions League is only going to enhance the financial gulf between CL participation and not, and will only enhance Spurs ability to exploit those matchdays more than any other facility in the world.
CL qualification versus no Europe is worth 200M+ annually to Spurs going forward, easy. With downstream effects on commercial deals that enhance that gap even further.
It's just a total business failure to build the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and then put an 8th place team in it. Assigning any marginal competitive value at all to squad investment makes huge expenditure there pencil out.
Don't worry, the food in Italy is spectacular.... But Tanguay isn't sold on the project...
What project?
Forest fans understandably like Johnson

Brennan Price Johnson
Definitely could go either way but that's always the risk when you're signing an 18 year old, the price is high but the market seems to be high in general and young English players are notoriously pricey, especially if they've already had several impressive first team appearances at a top 6 club...

Thought it was Dortmund in for BK?
No point going to Bayern with Kim, Upemacano and De Ligt there.

Looks like they're going for Nunes, if Wolves are willing to let him go.
Both Bayern and Dortmund apparently - German international don't forget
