He's not good enough for a shite Spurs team, we can do much, much better.

I think if he gets good coaching and instruction he will improve. I don’t think he’s a bad player. Scored plenty of goals and was very good at Forest. Just judging anyone just on their Spurs career doesn’t tell the full story.

Wouldn't be disappointed with Johnson at the right price. Spurs paid about £47m though and would try to get most of that back. Not worth anywhere near that.

This. Johnson is lightweight and will not improve us.

I mean?, we have a lightweight left winger, that is ineffective and a player on the right that’s not lightweight, but has the acceleration of a freight train. Brennan Johnson will definitely improve us.

Kev reminds me of a fit Ollie.

Doesn't score that many goals, though.

The Fulham lad. I doubt he knows his natural nickname.

For this transfer window I think we need a striker and a right winger. Still.
Right back would be nice, but I think Bogarde can do a defensive job there if Cash is out.

I wonder if - if the stats say what folk say they are, and teams have worked out how to nullify our attacks, and we’ve switched to more long range shots rather than working the ball in to the box … well that might be a bigger cause for Ollie not scoring so much and in fact any striker we play in the centre forward role might struggle to be prolific.

Just a thought, might be miles off of course.

If we buy someone, we need to make sure we get value for money. From what I can gather, Johnson is a bit of a sicknote.... I think he's an alright player and one that I think Emery could improve, but I'd be concerned that he'd spend most of his time on the treatment table than on the pitch.
