Brennan Johnson

[Free Agent]

Thats one perspective yes, another would be at least the shit player we have might have a chance of turning it around whereas the one we let go was likely beyond recovery

Not a bad bet that!

£100k a week on a maybe, decent way to run a club we should keep doing this

A decent player in a very poor team playing outdated, negative tactics. Signs aren’t great though, and it won’t be doing his confidence much good. Play him up top alongside / just behind Barry (change of formation - gasp!) or bench him.

Could agree with that if he hadn't stunk out Palace and Spurs too, neither of them played outdated or negative tactics and he was still shit. He's been shit for longer than he's been good.

15 goal involvements in 33 games playing for a Spurs side that played to his strengths, is not stinking the place out.

Yeah, he a nice run, but for the calendar year 2025 he scored 6 goals, 2 against Ipswich, 2 against Southampton, 1 against Burnley and City and they couldnt wait to get rid.

You go on about this run like its the norm, it isnt, he had an ok record but thats it, hes been ok, and now hes massively on a downward trajectory.

In 24/25 McNeill had 12 goal involvements in 21 games, that pisses all over Johnson record, maybe we should have stuck with him?

Manager changed as did the style of play.

He's a limited player, but use him correctly and he can be very effective.

Thomas Frank didn't play that way, and neither do we though, which is the main issue with bringing him here.

Yet no spurs fans rate him and couldn’t wait for him to leave.

We can build everything around him. Hes not going to perform.

Mad loan to Italy or Turkey next on the cards for him.

I stayed behind in London after our game to meet up with some mates from Newcastle who had a ticket for me for their game….after the game met some palace lads got talking and obviously Johnson came up…they couldn’t believe they got rid of him as they didn’t think anyone would take him…..they quite like McNeil though so don’t hold much strength on their opinion…in the actual game McNeil started of off quite good then did the usual fade out of the game….told them that’s the measure of his game we’ve watched for a few years with the odd screamer of a goal thrown in….johnson himself was bollox again for us can’t even remember him touching the ball !!!

We do this all the time with our players. Tarks last season got pelters even though he'd missed pre-season, and most just wrote him off as being finished. Same with Garner this season.

We sign players and use them completely different to how they've been successful previously and then say they're shit after a few games because they aren't playing well.

The only players we seem to rate are the ones who don't play, and then for some reason they get elevated to a level that's far in excess of their actual ability.

Johnson may well be shite, but also why are we persisting with him of we aren't going to play in a way that gives him an opportunity to succeed? If rather judge him if and when that happened, not when he's being used in the opposite fashion to the successful period he had previously.

People aren’t saying he’s shit because of a couple of rubbish games for us.

They’re saying he’s shit because spurs took a massive loss on him and palace got rid after six months.

He’s shit. Good at one thing which is running in behind, that’s it.

Took a punt on him and it most likely won’t be worth the effort.

[777Kidnappings]

Johnson is shite. Hes been awful every single league game. Least mcneil had moments.

Wed started to get away from players on long contracts and big wages who were no use to us. Think we found another though. 4 years until he leaves on a free

[Silas]

Yeah I hope he turns out round and even as a MC Neil defender i think Johnson should be giving us better option but it's not looking great so far. Might feel a bit different if he buried a few of his chances I suppose. Also think Moyes has fucked this lad right over making him a starter based on little other than he legs it up and down

[brap2]

Dele Alli was in my opinion a future ballon d’or winner at one point in terms of talent, athleticism, career trajectory and the quality and quantity of goals, assists and performances he was putting in year after year.

Would you want him on £100k pw right now?

How about Jadon Sancho? Undoubted ability and has shown it many times. Wouldn’t want 4 years of him at Everton.

[777Kidnappings]

Id have sancho on what hes apparently been offered. 10k a week seems a decent punt.
