This is so boring. Spurs match still ages away and there's no actual new transfers in or out.

Yes we are offering £50mil, but they insist they want £40mil
£110M combined fir that ! Unbelievable really. Why not find some players like Brighton do? Where is all the Ange knows the Asian market? Not seen one link with any Asian players. Johnson would be such an underwhelming signing. Where did the bloody links come from in the first place?
I think the more pressing issue is that he’s grabbed control of the wheel.

Gakpo scored those 7 goals from 1400 minutes Johnson his 8 in 2900 . Similar goals in more than twice the amount of time.
Rather go with Scarlett.
Should have just got Barnes much better goal scoring record and would have been less money.
You know what I mean. Keep buying the youngsters as long as they are good and vfm.
You haven´t been on Newsnew i reckon?
Linked to about 20-30 players a day there, if you want to put yourself through the torment!
Gapko looked good in the World Cup. Can play in an 8 or front 3 abd is technically better than Johnson. If we get Johnson he will be added to list of players we have splunked huge fees on fir very little gain. Clever signings is what is needed.
Porro had sold for 8.5m in the summer window just four months earlier. Man City had a buyback clause at about 17m which they chose not to exercise. He was playing in the Portuguese league. That probably tells you everything about his actual value when the window opened relative to his insanely high release clause — not unusual in the Iberian leagues where clauses are, I believe, mandatory. As another example, Marcus Edwards own clause is set at 50m!
January is a notoriously difficult time to do a transfer regardless. Clubs fighting for honors and still in cup competitions are loathe to give up their best assets.
Just about everyone is overvalued. The previous January we were the only top club, I think, that improved (with Bentancur / Kulu). Of course, this is completely lost on most fans who just want shiny new things.
Wiggy had not signed a new contract and showed absolutely no inclination to do so. Anyone who has read his resume or with the slightest hint of common sense knew he wasn’t going to. Our personnel were wedded to his system which had every chance of being useless by the season’s end unless we brought in a manager who played a similar system. He, himself, insisted on getting Porro as the key to his system. Personally, I was overjoyed that Levy wouldn’t pay the release clause and expressed those reservations in the dedicated thread. There were probably three other dissenters and I can name two of them, I think. The rest of the posters clamored for ‘the bald cunt to just pay the release clause’. The rest of the transfer was, as you suggest, farcical but not for the reasons you give. Levy, Parataci and his team should have stood their ground instead of half-heartedly backing a manager they didn’t trust (rightly) to stick around and massively overpaying at the end of the window as a means to appease him.
No glory for Levy, on a fool’s errand , I agree but equally for the ‘Back Wiggy’ fanboys on social media and here that pressed for the transfer.
Kan-Ga Roo, considered best CB in Asia! A bit of an odd running style tho in my opinion!
I'm pretty sure if we wanted Kudus we would have gotten him. I mean he's going to Spam ffs. There must be a reason why were not after him.
They all got caught with their pants down again as Troy Parrott slipped out of the door.
He's played worse than when he was at Everton.
A fragile whiner, with little end product, cannot hold the ball up and picks up injuries like an East End hooker picks up blow jobs.
Another sixty million down the shitter.
But that is all good fir a counter attacking team. If we are camped in the oppo half you need quality players who can beat a man by a drop of the shoulder or a shimmy like mahrez. His not gonna have 20M plus space to run into. That’s why I don’t get the interest in him. His not even a player that generally stood out last season.Something interesting about Johnson - we’ve been wondering why data-led clubs like Brentford Chelsea and us have landed on him as a target despite his disappointing fbref stats
Well, 3 statistics where he leads the PL below:
Seems to me that, if the article about Ange and Gabbiani working together is true, maybe one of the request was a direct winger who can run with the ball at speed, who is a big threat in behind the defense, and can chip in with goals and assists from out wide. And crucially he’s someone who makes a lot of off ball runs to open up space and stretch the defense.
The Johnson profile actually does seem like a good fit for the team on paper. It’s just that the further you get away from the pitch the better he looks, and that always worries me in a player.

Heard he leaps like a... gazelle. Would be good for set pieces.
Cunt syndrome.
