Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

[Guntz]

£25m + Rodon + Spence seems fair.

It would also suit all parties.

However, these multi-player deals rarely ever come off.

 

[WiganSpur]

Seems like the plan is Johnson & Orban to replace Kane which i'm guessing means Perisic & Gil leaving too. If we want HG i'd rather we spent the Kane money on Olise

Olise would be the dream but he's injured for a while by tearing his hamstring.

He's also heavily linked to Chelsea.

It was being reported he had a 35£ million release clause.

I'm not sure where we'd be at with HG if say Davies, Dier, Japh, Spence, Rodon & Kane left. But seems like the plan is for a lot of foreigners to leave too, and we've brought in Phillips who I wouldn't loan out and we can also give Devine a chance if we can move on PEH and Ndombele.

Also, not sure if some of these youngsters we are potentially bringing in will have to be registered either.

Would we be able to tempt Tomori with a massive bid? If not him then the less exciting Guehi?

Other than Olise on the right perhaps we could look at Edwards again, he would be suited to Ange's style. Think I would rather have Edwards than Johnson tbh.

Edwards is actually a great shout.

We'd be able to get him at a very decent price too with the sell-on clause.

Agreed, perfect rotation for Kulu imo would make much sense under Ange than Conte. Keeps us ticking along with a club trained player until we can get some of the academy talents up to standard.

We removed the sell on clause as part of the porro deal.

 

[Guntz]

Nah, we waived 15% so still have a 35% sell-on clause.

 

[Gbspurs]

Nah, we waived 15% so still have a 35% sell-on clause.

Expensive deal!

 

[Cochise]

Spence, Rodon + cash for Johnson works very well for us. Do Forest need a CB and RB?

Probably if there best option is serge Aurier as there RB

 

[Gingernut]

Spence, Rodon + cash for Johnson works very well for us. Do Forest need a CB and RB?

If they still have Aurier they will need cover for the red card suspensions

 

[Timberwolf]

Apparently they were interested in Sanchez last week so surprised he's not being mentioned at all.

Would be amazed if we managed to involve multiple players in this though - when does that actually happen? Although if there's a team in the world that seems to love overstuffing their squad, it's Forest!

Confirmed again by Mike McGrath that we hold a serious interest in Johnson.

Must say, for what he’d likely cost I’d rather plump for Orban.

Totally and utterly agree.

This must be short odds if Kane goes?

God I fucking hope not. He’s crap.
