Whatever happens this is not the case. If he comes and does well it's one the board have got right. If he doesn't it's another they've got wrong.

I'm now 100% sure of this.

Let's see how it plays out, but Ange would prefer numerous others so there is some resistance from some including Gabannini, but everyone understands we need certain players out, and this might represent a significant chance of achieving this.


My opinion on this is it doesn't happen because there are too many moving parts for it to come off and there is interest in the players Forrest would take from other clubs.


*As I've said I'd be very clear what is itk and what isn't. The part in bold is ITK the rest is opinion.
Why the fuck are the board interfering and signing players that aren’t high on anges list? He just can’t help himself can he.

Dear God. The club never misses to try and solve one problem by creating another.

So still making “club purchases“….that does seem to be the information coming through today.
ho hum big sigh.

if the creative solution came from a dof fine, if comes from a land economist with less football knowledge than some random bloke in a pub…not so fine

To be fair here it's not just "Ange's list" that needs consideration. As long as he's not against it and it ticks other boxes it's something that has to be considered. You can't just go out and buy everyone the manager wants, and this one is seen by certain people at the club as a win win.

As I say I hope Gabaninni wins this one, but that's purely because I don't want him myself.

Levy probably sees it is a win-win as we can get rid of some deadwoods while we get Johnson, however it is a financial perspective instead of football as usual(n)

Reckon if he was another nationality and playing in a league on the continent people would have a different feeling about him. 50M is too much though.

Who are the preferred options then?

Ah hurrah another million pages of people going on about how they are FEWMIN!

Well it does seem to be turning into another Levy thread.

I think people get too emotional with signings, I’m sure all clubs employ some tactics where the club influences a signing over the manger (if thats even the case here) - some will work, some wont. Who cares.

He’s a decent player, and you’ll pay extra for a Premier League player with speed, which is something we’re lacking.

I dont expect the squad to he completely turned around in one window, Ange is on a 5 year deal, things will take time.

Yep. He’s achieved far more than Orban/Nuamah etc but because those players look more electric in weak leagues they have people frothing at mouth for them to sign.

I think also people generally take ITK with a pinch of salt, unless it agrees with what they already believe and then it’s gospel.

I agree that the positive start to the season also has people getting a bit over excited, it’s a long term project (well, hopefully medium term).

no one would be complaining if Johnson is the one Ange preferred, but it seems that he isn't
