Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

[Ghost Hardware]

A lot of money to pay, but if he was our number 1 target, all good

Agree, if he was indeed our number 1 attacking target then i look forward to seeing him for us. We must have a very clear idea of how he will work in the system and how he will improve our front line.

Romano said he was a priority target fwiw

Not doubting it, but that's also kind of Romano boilerplate. Along with "as things stand" "up to (player x/club)," "next (x hours/days) crucial," and the hourglass emoji.

We have to trust Ange.

I am an Aussie spurs fan btw

How long you been waiting to slap that bad boy down?

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

If we do get him over the line, do we think he's a starter and if so, who is he replacing out of the front 3?

Good Q.

Id say he’d be putting serious pressure on Kulu and Richy, those 3 would be battling it out across ST & RW respectively.

I thought he played as rwf far more than that, but could play as a striker. Hadn't realised he played quite that many as centre forward.

I don't shit a shit

What do you shit then?

But congratulations

 

[GetKaned]

This signing is going to be like 2015 Dele Alli if you ignore the fact that it cost 10 times more.

 

[spursfan77]

Good signing. Get it signed up Spurs

 

[mill]

I've had a wonderful bit of news today and I'm delighted to welcome a new Spur.

I don't shit a shit how much he cost, they can afford it.

COYS

You bought a baby?

How long you been waiting to slap that bad boy down?

Far much longer than I care to admit

 

[mill]

The money is irrelevant if he’s the right player

This site is far too caught up in the financials of deals

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

This could have been a very important moment as it could've been the difference between him wanting to sign for us or Chelsea.

But this was a Levy signing!!!

It was just a whiteboard with

Spurs - Rw = Kulusevski and Johnson

Chelsea - Rw - a whole heap of names and fuckry

Excellent addition to the attacking options. Brings something a little different to the others with his pace and work rate.

I am a big fan of having options over automatons. It gives the coach the ability to tweak the starting line-up and tactics based on the opposition. Likewise, it's a little harder for opponents to plan against us.

I remember last season and the one before where a few coaches basically said that they knew exactly what to expect and would devise tactics around it. Conte's system was extremely rote. Yes... effective when it worked, but not difficult for other managers plan for. EG: Everyone knew that if you stacked the midfield, we'd get overrun. Especially when the likes of Bentancur wasn't playing.

Ange's system is less predictable. Even more so when you add players with different skill sets to the table.

I don't see johnson as the next this or that. As this method of football is all about the collective over individual brilliance. In that sense, quite similar to Brighton.
