Feels like Brentford just bidding for Johnson because they're still mad that we called their bluff on Raya and led them into a much less favorable deal with Arsenal. :)
Realistically, the club is never going to be able to get him off the books unless we're going to pay most of his remaining salary. He clearly isn't fussed about making the most of his chance. He's going to collect his 200k a week, which no new club would pay him, until the end of his contract...
The difference though is that I don't think he knew what it would be like to work under Ange, nor what Spurs' summer business would look like. The environment likely was terrible within the team last year - worst of his career. It's not crazy to me to think that he may think things are headed...
I'm not saying he'll stay but I don't see what's so surprising about that possibility. If you're him, do you really want to lock yourself down to Munich for 5 years? As long as we don't look like we'll be a total ****show like last year, it seems in his interest to stay the year and then...
I think it's odd that people are viewing this as Kane putting pressure on Spurs. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the other way around, and we were more than happy for him to put this out, which also puts pressure on Munich. Kane isn't stupid; he wants to have a good long-term relationship with...
No. No. No. Why in the world we would want Edwards back is beyond me. He's not what we need, he's got the wrong attitude, and it doesn't even make sense financially, since I'd rather use his release clause for Porro or leave it in place so we can collect when he inevitably moves elsewhere.
One thing that's sort of hard to figure in all this is that Doherty is clearly one of Kane's best mates on the team. Hard for me to see us moving Doherty on right as we're hoping that Kane signs a new deal. Not to say that the one is dependent on the other, but the timing feels a little off...
