Yep, It would make absolutely no sense whatsoever if we hadn't got a fair way down the road with this one, at least with the player and his agent and some knowledge about the likelihood of Forest selling - i'm sure there must be a fair bit of negotiating still to do but i would be shocked if we didn't think we had a good chance of landing him , it''d be a massive waste of time otherwise.
Brentford or no Brentford, we have to be quick. The window is closing in a couple of days.
He can draw pictures now? It’s a useful addition to his skill set.
I'm not sure they'd get much of a bidding war from these two teams, both are very much the sort to have a valuation and stick to it, rather than going all Chelsea on a transfer.
And yet, that's exactly what we did with Richarlison
But it will still set a baseline price. I’m very curious to see how highly we are willing to go for him. You’re right that I don’t see ether us or Brentford going much above it but i wouldn’t be surprised if Forrest still manage to get a few extra mil in add ons etc because of our mutual interest. Ether way I’m sure Forrest will be trying to encouraging us and any other potential suitors to compete.
With Richarlison struggles & forward line in transition certainly Johnson top pick should be Spurs… especially with a manager like Ange
Not down to Johnson?
As much as I respect how Brentford go about things, I’d say Forest are a way bigger club. Might be an old fashioned way of seeing things, but Brentford are punching well above their weight even being in the premier league. So yeah, I wouldn’t see the point in him moving there right now.
