Lets sigh Johnson and Palace can sign Dwight Mcneill. Good deal @Alan Whittle .
Johnson is a strange one to me. He's incredible at shooting and that's basically it really. Feels like a player you add to a team that's creating good chances, not one that's struggling to? I don't see it. Feels like a great player for palace - a counterattacking team - but not for one that's playing at all like we do.
Assuming theres ANY truth to this Johnson stuff...Heres what I could see for the window:
Brennan Johnson RW purchase 35m
Kobbie Mainoo CM loan
Dovbyk CF loan
Vitinho RB purchase 10m
Would people be happy with that? I dont think we realistically have the funds to go purchase a great striker so I would be surprised to see them do anything but a loan.
Have you suddenly just changed your mind on him ?
God we're really back in the Sandro/Klaassen days of intelligent recruitment if we're serious about spending 35m on Brennan Johnson.
"We need to score more goals. Here's a player who scores lots of goals!"-level thinking
I apologise if my teasing overly aroused you. Brennan Johnson's goals below to enhance your enjoyment.
His biggest strength is his goalscoring and acceleration.
Centre forward in one of Moyes' play players out of position moves which finally comes off?
Romano and some others if you do a google search.
Whether or not it's true, all this screams is we have no plan whatsoever and just found out he's maybe for sale so thought aye let's ring up.
Thats what they said.
Kinnear and Moyes and journos have all said loans only unless someone top notch comes available at the right price.
Now whether he's of the level we expect or the position we need...they had said they would go for players if they came available...
They never said they had a plan to sign anyone.
Exactly.
Palace makes all sorts of sense...Everton would be a tragically bad fit unless there's something massive I'm missing
I'm talking a plan as in transfer strategy. Players scouted fully, for positions we need, and gone after.
Not this, which is just like when you're walking round the shop and grab that random tub of brownies that's sat there whilst you're waiting in the queue for the till.
If it was Johnson in and McNeil out, then there’d be no complaints from me. Would be a big upgrade.
Ndiaye Grealish Dibling Johnson as wide options finally starts looking like PL level quality in the wide areas after years of Harrison Lindstrom McNeil Townsend Gray.
