What I don't understand is if it is such a tough deal to do why are we only entering negotiations now.
I reckon most teams get a little bit easier to deal with near the end of the window. Maybe even Spurs.

'We tried' - can see it coming if it doesnt go through.What I don't understand is if it is such a tough deal to do why are we only entering negotiations now.
This trope is so fucking boring. When have the club ever come out and said this?'We tried' - can see it coming if it doesnt go through.
Agreed. The only instance I remember is Moutinho, where we definitely put out a statement, I guess because AVB was super unhappy.This trope is so fucking boring. When have the club ever come out and said this?
Easier to make excuses if we only do that late in the window.What I don't understand is if it is such a tough deal to do why are we only entering negotiations now.
Everyone seems to be on it now.
Fab just retweeted this, wonder if he's hinting that Chelsea is going to get involved....
Someone mentioned that they’d be able to amortise new players over several years, and show 100% profit on Johnson as he is club trained.If Forrest are trying raise funds to cover FFP then I’m not sure why they would agree to a partial trade. Ether way I’d be surprised if we spent £50-55 mil on him. Then again I don’t think anyone else spends that on him ether. Understandable why this might not happen until the last day or two.

My reading of some of the ITK info is that we're not just entering into negotiations now.and its been going on for a little while.What I don't understand is if it is such a tough deal to do why are we only entering negotiations now.

If Forest are trying to cover a FFP hole then a player trade could really help: the clubs put a high notional value on the player moving to Forest and the book profit on the sale of Johnson is increased.If Forrest are trying raise funds to cover FFP then I’m not sure why they would agree to a partial trade.

What ? A club spending money to replace their striker before the player actually leaves ?Brentford rival Tottenham move for Brennan Johnson with late £40m club-record offer
Spurs are still thought to be favourites for Wales forward's signature but Thomas Frank's side have upped their offer for priority targetwww.telegraph.co.uk
Brentford are making a late push for Nottingham Forest forward Brennan Johnson after submitting a club record £40 million offer.
Johnson is set to move this week, with Tottenham Hotspur also in talks to sign the Wales international, but Brentford have ramped up their long-standing interest with a third bid of this transfer window.
Brentford’s pursuit of the 22-year-old stretches back almost two years, with the club having at least three offers rejected when Forest were operating in the Championship.
Bids of £30 million and £35 million this summer were both turned down, but the west London club have now returned with an improved offer which is edging closer to Forest’s valuation.
Brentford are preparing for a future without their talismanic striker Ivan Toney, who has now switched agents, and regard Johnson as a priority signing in Thomas Frank’s plans.
Tottenham are still considered favourites to sign Johnson, with club chairman Daniel Levy now in talks with Forest to try to conclude a deal.
