That's the second re[ort I've seen about a straight swap with no extra money coming our way. Perhaps Everton have agreed to pay Johnson what we are paying him. Quite a hit for us to take even so. How's Mrs McNeil feeling?

Are we all prepared for the inevitability of Johnson becoming incredible the moment he leaves?

Won't be watching him.

If we do sign him, he will play LWB with Mitchell, Mitchell cannot play game after game.

Pixar have bought the rights.

That makes sense as does the balance of the squad,

BUT some really poor transfer business overall that was “initiated” by Glasner’s tantrums

As an aside he’s now snagged the Sporting CB for the same money as Johnson.

This smells a little Greek to me!

He ain't done too bad in the last 5 seasons 😊

 

[Canterbury Palace]

Won't be watching him.

But it's only 13 days until he scores against us!

Guys come on …. surely this is Dwight’s girlfriend at play with media.

She lost her chance to shop the high life at Primark near Centrale & this is her was of getting us back.

She is a cut snake & until she gets that opportunity to have a J20 with cheap vodka at Wetherspoons George street it’s bedlam with her.

I wouldn't count on it.

Our transfer business needs to be feta than this.

damn! You beta me to it!

He needs to go forth and multiply.

I’ve been thinking all morning what to say/comment on this thread. It’s always nice to contribute something- even if it’s a little controversial!

However, TBH, nothing springs to mind as I’m not sure who benefits and who doesn’t from this swap proposal?!

No, you're right, it's a least-worst outcome for both parties. A race to the bottom. A highly competitive s***-off.

That's an odyssey.

They gain Johnson and we gain McNeil's wag.....who probably deserves the 'most whiny wag' award.

Mental health darling?.....Reading all that moaning did my nut in.

As if transfers are done for the good of wealthy footballers.

That's why we bought Sosa

Apparently this is close to being a done deal. Sage clearly seen enough of Johnson and decided - not good enough. He wasn’t in the squad against Fulham which maybe indicative of Sage’s opinion on Johnson 🤷‍♂️

 

[McAhuna]

Transfermarkt values him far less than Brennan Johnson

Yeah, and I can't see McNeill playing wing back very often even if we didn't have Sosa. It's not his position. I'm not sure he fits into the 343 system at all, in fact. And he's bang average. And we're making a big loss on Johnson.

I'd still do the deal in a heartbeat, though!

No, its not in place of but with, similar with Muñoz and Mingueza, Mitchell is a great LB, but doesn't have the attacking instinct's of Muñoz, i think McNeil could be the missing piece, no opposition makes a plan to stop Mitchell, they do Muñoz, i just have a hunch it could work, i hate 3-4-2-1, but if you are going to play it you need dangerous attackers in both WB roles, that is the idea of the formation, the 10s drop inside and the WBs overlap.
