This smacks of lazy journalism to me.

I feel like if he was an alternative to Johnson, then that’s a bit concerning as I don’t think they’re in the same mould. I’d say Edwards is more similar to Gil

Yes this is true.

Edwards at £34m > Johnson ~£50m for me.

And just imagine when we publish our accounts next year and we can point to a healthy profit and get to say; "you see that 100 million profit? 16 of those are due to us choosing Edwards over Johnson".

If anyone comes bragging about trophies etch I'm just going to show them our balance sheet and LAUGH. To rub it in I might even ask if they know just how many go-karts that extra 16 million could purchase? Many.

It's gonna be glorious!

Serious: I really hope we get the best fit for the team and the one Ange wants despite the price. If that's Edwards then great.

Not “that £100m profit is from not replacing Kane”? ;)

This is true but also misleading. If Edwards goes anywhere for a fee of £50m the net result is no difference between signing Johnson or edwards. Scenario 1) we sign edwards for £33m scenario 2) we sign Johnson for £50m and receive £17m from the edwards sale. It’s only if Edwards wouldn’t be sold otherwise that it becomes a real discount

He scored a lovely goal tonight. Apparently he's having a bit of a rough season but when you see him run with the ball like this it makes me think of Chelsea's manager's Messi comparison all those years ago.

Fantastic goal. Would love to see him on the right for us.

Just scored against Atalanta with his weak foot, nice to see after a tough week for him. Still would love him here
