Great post especially the positive end part but I disagree with the start as by the poster explaining/justifying those 2 examples that is needed to show context.It’s not as if Danjuma and Spence are the only two examples, they are just the most recent. Explaining or justifying them in isolation doesn’t really do much imo.
Ultimately it comes down to how much you rate the player and that Will obviously colour where one stands on this potentially transfer. You rate him so you’re obviously going to see the positive side, im less enthusiastic so I’m obviously going to listen to the ITK when they say things like “club signing”. Ultimately it’s completely futile. Ether we will or won’t sign him and if we do I’ll be completely 100% behind him, until that point there are others I’d prefer. I don’t think Johnson is a bad player I just prefer others.
In the end of the day we all want what’s best for the club and no two people will universally have to same opinion. Furthermore neither you nor I actually know what exactly Ange is looking for so ultimately it’s all guesswork. Yes it might be more influenced by stats, reading reports, watching games of his and potential targets but unless one is professional scout or coach who’s worked with him, it’s still guesswork.
Anyway, going by Trix’s latest in the ITK thread it seems that he’s isn’t our top target but part of grand plan and most importantly Ange is behind the idea. If that’s true then that is excellent news and if we sign him then I look forward to seeing what he can do for us.
Fwiw I hope we sign Johnson.
