New Athletic.article on him covering why forest are considering selling him
Yeah but they're also selling Hugo Ekitike to Frankfurt below market value supposedly, so in reality the transfer will be more than what's stated, if that does transpire.In a perfect world, we’d be signing Johnson AND Kolo Muani. Apparently PSG are bidding around £68.5m for him..
Dream World scenario, sadly I think.
I think it needs to be considered more holistically.What's that got to do with anything? We sold him for a somewhat large fee and so far we've replaced his quality up top with Solomon and what looks to be Brennan Johnson. How can anyone actually be happy with that? What's the point of Levy haggling with Bayern for ages so that we could get the best deal possible to then not buy a high quality forward? That's my issue.
Thanks for that, very interesting article. Seems like there is quite a significant difference in timing between how things are actually playing out and the reports in the press. No surprise there. Here it suggest we tried for a partial swap a while ago but they are pretty clear they just want cash. Also suggest Brentford might actually not have moved on. Ether way it sounds like this is another deal that will go down to the wire.

BJ now looking very very likely.
What I’m curious is how this lines up with Trix’s ITK last night. He mentions that a deal including deadwood makes this an extremely appealing deal but that article, as you point out, suggests Forrest just want money. Be interesting to see if we like him enough to pay £50 mil for him as he doesn’t necessarily seem to be our top WF target purely on a skill basis.Yeah it’s pretty good. They want cash only by the sounds of things and at this point in the window.
If Brentford have been chasing him for three years then there must be something about him they feel very strongly about given their way of recruiting. That makes him super intriguing.
One from the beaches of Brazil, one straight from the Sunday league playbook!Both the skill and the taking him out have their merits tbh!
They might want to do so but Johnson won’t want to be cup tied if we have beaten Fulham.Forest play Burnley in the cup tomorrow. I wonder if they will want to wait until after the game to finalise it.
The itk literally said its future planning. Kane wouldn't be here next summer regardless.If we were so concerned about HG players, why did we (a) sell Kane, knowing we wouldn't be able to get in a quality non-HG replacement; and (b) buy Solomon, a non-HG player, to be our 5th choice winger?
