Brennan Johnson

[Toddacelli]

Looks like he can finish with some composure. Seems like he arrives at the right time when it’s put on a plate for him but I don’t see anything like that same service coming to him from our left side. That’s my big worry with him, but I do think he’ll be decent for us.

It's clear Palace really don't see this happening, or rate him at all as they really keen to get rid so quickly.

How many teams essentially wipe off that amount of money after 6 months? I'm struggling to see what their motivation is to take a big hit, other than the ridiculous wages for someone of his ability - which we will now pick up!!
He must have a stinking attitude and be a bit of a prick - only thing I can think

Maybe they paid peanuts up front and lots of the fee is appearance based Spurs thought they’d be clever and say if he got sold before reaching those appearances they’d get first slice of any transfer fee

So a swap saves them forking out a bunch of money

[Blueomar]

If that's the case, the deal's worth it just to fuck spurs.

I will say that if Ndiaye goes or Grealish doesn’t come back and Johnson is the only addition in that area from this point - we’re still at a huge downgrade.

If Grealish does not return OR Ndiaye goes, I want another forward and has to be a serious player.

[Cods]

Finishing, fast feet, and if the swap is on I am not sure there has ever been a greater top-speed-differential increase in a squad ever in football.

Moyes mark 2 has found his Mirallas 2.0

I worry this is what they think is the serious player. We’ll know if the pr is full of ‘Tottenham’s top scorer’ that they are trying to convince us this is a marquee signing, rather than the revival project it is.

Left wing - Ndaiye / George
Right wing - Johnson / Dibling / Ndaiye

If we brought Grealish back it'd prevent George and Dibling getting the minutes they need, so I'd rather we didn't and actually developed our own players properly tbh

100%. Especially when it will be around 25 million season long loan for an injured player who hasn’t played for six months.

Last year's was between £12m & £15m, so even at that I'd rather we put this towards a right back.

Massive drop off in quality with 2 massive gambles we know for a fact the manager doesn’t like.

It’s fine, happy to develop our players also. Been banging that drum on here for honestly ten years, but you can’t deny it’s a massive drop off.

Swapping a slow 1 good game in 5 for a pacy finisher looking to reignite his career we definitely got the better of this one

It is in theory, but also we had to play 6 months without Grealish, so in that situation it's an upgrade.

If I believed Grealish could stay fit for a while season I'd be more inclined to bring him back, but it feels like if we put that money towards a right back the balance of the team might help offset the Grealish absence overall.

I think a lot depends on Johnson finding his old form, and Dibling and George getting more game time and contributing.

Probably a gamble but also I think our over reliance on Grealish was and would also be again a gamble.
