Johnson, McNeil

[pssguy]

Who was our last record signing to prove his worth? Was Guehi our record signing at the time?

We have broken our record signing-on fee 10 times in the Premier League (Chelsea have done it 23 times) starting with Bruce Dyer in 1994. McArthur for 7m was probably the best deal with, maybe, Cabaye 10m next. I'll let you guys guess the rest
The sales have been better, the last five being Eze, Olise(forced price), Wan-Bissaka, Bolasie and Gayle

Last season I watched McNeil live at an Everton home match (from great hospitality lounge guest of a ST holding colleague) and he was one of their most creative and clapped players for 65 minutes. I remember thinking at the time we could really do with that sort of player in our squad as we were run ragged by December .

Well then you could have completed that sentence.

He's probably run out of Scrabble pieces.

I seem to recall him getting PotM (not against us) after he put in 2 Pirlo level passes through a packed defence.

It is in his locker.

No they don't

Learn contract law there is no such thing as a swap deal in modern era.

You can be creative and agree to terms not legal wise which could be classed as a swap but on the paper there is no swap.

From an Everton season ticket holder on McNeil

"Decent player, was our most effective attacking force one season, though some fans forgot that and got on his back later, idiots"

I can’t believe that we have paid £35M for Johnson. Transfer deals are always phased and on most occasions additional payments depend upon number of appearances etc. Who knows…it may be that Everton have agreed to meet the top ups if he makes the appearances for them. McNeil evidently only has one year left on his contract so for this supposed swap to happen he would need to sign an extension.
Sadly Brennan hasn’t imposed himself in any way for us and there is no sign of him doing so, McNeil would perhaps give us an option to change a game and wants to join us.
I can’t believe the club would have had its pants pulled down completely. The only time that has happened recently was with O’Brian and there is definitely more to that than meets the eye.

You may want to take on the fact that Spurs fans are an entitled bunch of clowns,some not all, who no doubt fawned all over Johnson when he was their leading goal scorer and if memory serves he got the winner in the UEFA Cup final.
Didn't hear many pissing and whining about him at that time did we or am I the one pissing in the wind here?
Simply said I've always believed it takes a player a season to get used to new surroundings, team mates, playing styles etc. He now has a new coach to get used to and in my opinion will come good.
I've watched him fairly closely since he played on loan at Lincoln City onto Forest onto Spurs and he's is and will again be a damn good player whom I hope we keep.

Hes s*** mate

Jeez that's one hell of a hit! We must be absolutely desperate to get rid if this is true that we're willing to not get a fee for him plus McNeil.

What a terrible, terrible piece of business that was in January.

Glasner essentially bullied parish into signing brennan + JSL.
