It's copium. We had some Spurs fans claiming Richarlison would be a better fit for Postecoglu than Kane when it was obvious Kane would go.
It's always better to see what the fans were saying mid-season.

maddison 10-15
bissouma 4-6
sarr 5-8
romero 2-4
VDV 2-4
porro 5-7
dog 5-7
rest of the squad 10 or so between them. i reckon all of that is doable providing no big injuries of course.
Even against Brentford, who are in the bottom 1/4 for possession in the league, there were times where Kulusevski could have gotten in behind if he had more pace.
More and more teams are playing/defending higher up the pitch in the PL each season, in fact there are probably only about 6 or 7 that don't now (Forest, Everton, Brentford, West Ham, Sheff Utd, Luton and Palace) and even they will have situations where they eventually push up if they are losing.
Not saying Johnson is the answer, but someone who is that quick would be very useful.
I am not a fan of Kulusevski. I like quick, but preferably when it's attached to some brain or craft.
Are you on his payroll?
Everyday we seem to be linked to some new striker. But who should we get? Ferguson - 110 million.. David 50-60 million.. Vhalovic- 50 million..Orban 30 million. I'd be happy if we signed any one of them. Ferguson could end up a superstar but 100+ million for a guy that has scored 8 goals seems massively over the top. Orban looks great but plays in the weakest league. Personally I'd plump for Vhalovic. What do most fans want?
We need another forward. The existing ones have been psychologically damaged by recent years and you can see with the newbies that they will respond to Ange more quickly and bring the incumbents along with them. If Johnson or whoever comes in, that might be enough to refresh Sonny and Richy.

24,000 viewed his video in the opening four hours it was posted.
So he's reaching more than anyone thinks.
Pretty good info i.m.o.
Not Ferguson for anything like that fee. He could be amazing but that is a fee an established ayer commands not a kid who may have just had a purple patch. Who can say which it is at this stage? Even £60M would be a huge gamble. Just no way, it’s madness. If you can do a deal with add ons then fine but otherwise take a different punt.
I’d love to see the numbers on when people stopped watching.
When your transfer window breakdowns are the length of a Hollywood movie you have issues.
Maybe it’s just me, but I like Gold. Very earnest in his admitted fandom for Spurs.
Comparing Johnson to similarly priced (or more expensive) players in the same age range, Johnson’s 8 goals and 3 assists for a bottom of the table Forest side is more single season production than Doku, Madueke, Mudryk, Ferrán Torres, and Nico Williams have ever achieved in significantly higher scoring teams in the French, Dutch, Ukrainian, and Spanish leagues. Antony’s last season at Ajax he had 8 goals and 4 assists. Anthony Gordon’s best Everton season was 4 goals, 2 assists.
Hard to escape the conclusion that people are just being snobby because he’s from the PL and UK. Players from the PL always get judged way more harshly on these boards than unknown foreign players, just look what people were saying about Maddison before we signed him.

In fairness most of the players you’ve listed to try and justify his signing have been utter failures.
(Not that I’m saying Johnson will be. But you’re right that Antony’s numbers were underwhelming for example and … they’ve remained underwhelming.)
Unpopular opinion amongst Spurs fans to love Ali Gold that's for sure.
Right up there with believing ticket prices cost too much and that Woolwich sucks.
Son, Veliz, Richarlison, Gil, Kulusevski, Soloman
We seem to have plenty of options across the front 3.
If you're spending 50m+ on a player; you want to be getting the finished product - not a player with "potential".
Richy and Son will get plenty of goals this season. Thus far, Son has been crowded out whenever he has the ball - the opposition coaches know what a threat he is and double up on him. This in turn has created plenty of space for Udogie to make runs.
If you want a five minute low down, Chris Cowlin is your man. If you want a detailed account of events, Alasdair Gold is your man.
There are times when I just want the information but there are also plenty of times when I wouldn't want to hear it from anyone but Alasdair Gold. Depends on how I feel and the nature of the information.
