Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

[Cornpattbuck]

For what it's worth, NF supporting mate messaged me on my birthday a few days back saying he wished me the best but hoped we'd leave Brennan the fuck alone. He thinks he's mustard. Fingers crossed.

 

[Gollorius]

Penarth?

Llantrisant. Mate the way people pronounce place names around here is wild. Butchering their own language.

My Celtic supporting mate said the same to me. It was weird.

 

[Misfit]

So, we reckon he gets a shot up top if Richy keeps misfiring?

 

[mark87]

Well you can fuck right off, Brentford.

 

[mark87]

Daws knows.

 

[tommo84]

Well you can fuck right off, Brentford.

It’s a novel way of trying to convince a player to sign for you:

“Oh come on Brennan - you ain’t good enough for the other lot who want you. I doubt they even want you. Like not really anyway. We want you so much that we’re only offering a little bit less than they are”.

 

[JerryGarcia]

Everything else aside I can’t wait to see how he looks in our team. It appears he’s not a big enough name for everyone but let’s give him a fair chance and see what he can do! The more I learn about him the more I think this is the type of player Ange thinks will suit us.

 

[HarryKane]

Not entirely convinced he'll excel in a team that wants to have a lot of possession and goes against teams sitting back, which is going to be the aim for the majority of games this season. However Kulu can play in those games and against teams where it's more even possession wise, games having more transitions from winning the ball back via pressing and playing on the counter, having space to run into getting 1v1 when he gets half a yard he's going to burn defenders if they make a mistake. Madders sending a ball through to a front 3 of Son-Rich-Johnson will be difficult for everyone except maybe City who have some rapid defenders

He definitely has good qualities, Forest fans do like him, he was very good in the championship and they had a difficult season last year which is never easy for a young player in their first top flight season. £45-50m is a hell of a lot especially for a relatively unproven player (Diaby was a similar price for Villa) but if he keeps improving, can pick up the system and gel well with the team then hopefully he'll do well and be worth it

Not sure i’d be bragging about having mates who support the national front pal.

 

[spurspeter]

He reminds me a lot of Dele.

Ha! Had someone I knew who lived in Pontilanfraith near Newport. They taught me how to pronounce town names like Ebbw Vale and Tir-y-birth! Nearly 30 years later and I can still remember. Not bad for a Jewish kid born in Manhattan!

 

[Cavehillspur]

He's going to be class, have a good feeling.

 

[WiganSpur]

We really need him to be good.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Time to guess his number.

I'll go for 22

 

[SpursSince1980]

We really need him to be good.

Uh… yeah. Think the same could be said for every purchase we make. I doubt anyone looks at them and thinks… ”I hope they’re above average!”

 

[SpursSince1980]

Saying it now...

BJ for Young Player of the Year.

Because… shit, why not?

 

[rossdapep]

I think he will excell here. Just think he has all the qualities needed to be an excellent PL player but will also give us something we dont really have

 

[anydange]

Price point aside, this signing reminds me of Dele (before his downfall). Hope he has a big impact.

Pace and good eye for goal from the little I have seen of him.

One thing is now we have 2 very different in options in him and Kulusevski in terms of style of play, assuming that's where he will play.

Interesting to see our of him and Son who competes with Richarlison
