welcome to Brennan Johnson

[MancunianEagle]

Im being honest not overly thrilled with this signing hoping he proves me wrong though

If hes so special why are tottenham letting him go for a loss🙄

Why did Birmingham let AJ go for nothing?

1. Because he doesn't fit the manager's system
2. Because in PSR terms it's not technically a loss
3. they need funds for reinforcements elsewhere in the squad.

Always thought he was decent. First time in ages, I’m massively having a new signing.
Was hoping with nketia, but wasn’t convinced. Think this one will be a great buy.

11 Prem goals last season, would have been second highest on our sheet after Mateta and in a crap team that finished just one above relegation. Not going to see many assists from him, so hopefully we can get the ball into the far post a bit more, especially from our regular wingbacks.

I’m pretty sure he had more assists than goals at Spuds. We will see both from him, 100%.

Very simply because he doesn’t fit Frank’s system. It was known that Frank doesn’t fancy him and can’t use him to his best, so any buying party was at an advantage. Spurs had to get rid of an asset that became surplus for external reasons, and we took advantage.

A lot of Spurs fans are complaining that they’ve let him go at all, and for what they consider a cut price.

He was one of their best players last season. They haven’t made that many changes of personelle for that to be any different, it’s mainly the style of play that has changed.

Great business on our part. Necessary business on their’s, purely in the circumstances.

Wasn't he a makeweight in the Clinton Morrison deal (AJ being valued at £0.75m and Morrison £4.25mil)?

Do you believe both valuations at the time turned out to be correct?

He was part of the deal, yes but I don't remember the figures involved. Worked out well for us though!

I am a big fan of what Clinton did for Palace... but that AJ / CM part exchange has to be one of, if not the, best deals the club ever did.

 

[RubinsCube]

I think they were spot on for us! We got CM back in a couple of seasons for about half what they paid for him. So we ended up with CM, AJ and £2.25m or so across both deals. Can't argue with that (unless agents leeched most of it in fees).

Absolutely. And Clinton came home as well.

 

[RubinsCube]

Absolutely. And Clinton came home as well.

I remember seeing the pair of them playing in the same team, with DF also maybe in the squad. Plus a nice profit across the two deals. If only that happened more often. Maybe it might with Eze or dare I say Olise.

Are we saying that Brennan Johnson is the new Julian Gray? I'd almost take that.

Whenever things aren't going well there's nothing like a good BJ to make it better. COYP

We can dream.
Clinton is still doing a job for us on Sky. If it wasn't for him we'd barely get a mention.

To be fair I remember Stelling used to mention us quite a bit, long before Clinton was on. I always thought we got more than our share of mentions based on stature at the time.

And Wrighty’s been on the box for donkey’s years, we’ve had a fair mention off of him from time to time, when he’s not waxing lyrical about the Goonies.
