Based on his recent performances, I can see why many think he's worth a puntSeems like he’s a man in demand . Good luck to the guy wherever he ends up
No way is he worth £50M! His good as diaby at villa? Think his scored twice now this season. Johnson has not scored any.. some on here did t want diaby. However would they now rather have than Johnson and would have cost a lot less.
Ahh then strike that from the recordHaha that was a friendly from 2017 vs Mumbai. Not saying it will be equal quality, but equal interest via big name players - freak show
£50M for Johnson or go eze?Go balls out for Eze next summer instead.
We'll have the gametime to keep both him AND Jimmy Mad happy by then.
Still hoping for Tosin this summer too.

Including Gil in the deal is a fucking terrible idea,
Again repeating myself how dies his pace fit into Ange all. Unless his very good at beating players in a small space his pace won’t be much use. On the counter yes but if we are playing deep in the oppo half you need good technical skills and the ability to beat a man in small space. Can Johnson do this or is he speedy only when there is 70yards of grass to run into?Footballers > sprinters.
Once teams learn to sit deep and counter against us (and they will); we'll need guile and intelligence in those areas not pace.
Grealish, Mahrez, Bernardo, Haaland.... With the exception of Foden; none of City's front line last season are particularly quick.
Think £50M be better spent on a top quality CB. Plus I’d rather get a proper CF rather than another winger. You could even pay Gio or Maddison where kulu plays. Alternative would be to play son and new cf as front two with madd behind. Then playe a more solid midfield say Biss Saar and PEH. Then let FBs really push up.Neither is Johnson.
Gil has a higher ceiling.
Johnson has serious pace.
Indeed even worse when you include that questionable but of Paratici money laundering, ahemcough, I mean business.100%. That would equate to whatever lamela was worth plus £20M odd we paid on top for Gil the.n whatever cash we put up for Johnson. You’re looking at least £60M. Ridicules bit of biziness. Surely there are players out there a lot better than Johnson and offer better vfm?
it is
Being a nuisance isn't enough to play for a top side, Emile Heskey was a nuisance in the box and opened up space but if he could be cloned at the same age as Richy you wouldn't want him up front for us would you?Richie is a menace in the box and one of the reasons why so many spaces open up for our other players. Once teams stop focusing on him as much, he'll get more service. But he needs a run of at least 8-10 games. Can't write him off after 3.

Diaby ? Doku? A my other wide player. We paid £60M fir a very average forward last season. Are we going down the sane path again? We need real quality not good additions at £50M.
Yes you do but sterling at his best can beat players in very tight spaces doesn’t need lots of grass in front of him.The same way Pep needed Sterling and Sane for his system despite being a possession first manager, you always need pace especially in the Prem.
This is it I just don’t get where his valuation comes from? We will see other clubs scout better players for less. Is he good as say a Bowen or diaby? If his worth £50M spam would want £100M for Bowen.Is Johnson worth half the Kane money?
Is he not the worst of the current Forest front 3?
Yes we would have £50M Johnson , rich £60M and deli £40M? None are as good as say isak.My point is we could spend 90m and still not have one great option, let alone 2.
Gordon went for 45m last season, so I guess that's what they're going on.This is it I just don’t get where his valuation comes from? We will see other clubs scout better players for less. Is he good as say a Bowen or diaby? If his worth £50M spam would want £100M for Bowen.
