RB seems covered.I'm enjoying the love for Matty Cash but a suitable replacement could also be Bogarde who is developing into an excellent player.
The quandary is a left sided wide player or a central attacker.Our spending limits might restrict the choice of the striker.We do need more goals.

Cos we were skint.

It does stick in the craw that we're paying Sancho more than Ramsey wanted.

Possibly but we did not pay the £40mil we got for Ramsey for Sancho and we can (i hope) fuck him off back there soon

Spurs open to selling Brennan Johnson. The solution to our wing-woes? He's probably close-pals with Morgz too (aren't they all?). Might help keep our world player of the year settled for another while.

I like him, but my Spursy mate he’s dead sound, doesn’t rate him. I think I only ever see the MOTD highlight real of him.


Saying that, I reckon this season must be the most times I’ve ever watched MOTD. What a run!

I don't think Brennan Johnson is all that good either.

He's mastered the Raheem Sterling move of turning up a yard out at the back post and make a career of tapping it in.

Not that that's a bad thing. Plenty of Bailey's goals two years ago were that move.

I think Unai could make him into a great player. I rate him but hes just not clicked at Spurs.

If the price is right and Unai wants him I think it would be great addition.

Johnson peaked about two years ago. He’s a lightweight who has no further useful marrow left. He will drift to a bottom half team or championship very soon.

A spurs podcaster said he is an amazing finisher, but not great at the normal winger tasks. So £50m for an El Ghazi.

My uncle doesn't rate him either.

Reading comments online from Spurs fans last year,that is a good summary of him,very good finisher but can't beat a player.

Emery was interested in him before Spurs came in for him.

Johnson can't get into a mediocre Tottenham team. Never seen what all the fuss was about with him. He has a bit of pace. What else?

Barnes from Newcastle would be a better option than Johnson (if it was an option).

Doesn't he play on the left ?
