The problem with Johnson is the original price that Spurs paid for Forest, in the region of £47 million which kind of set some sort of benchmark.
He wasn’t an unqualified success at Spurs, but was top scorer under Ang and scored the winner in a European final.
Furthermore, goalscorers always cost more.
Taking the above factors into account may have helped to get to the £35 million we supposedly paid.
In hindsight it looks ridiculous because he didn’t look to be worth £5 million for us, but his past career demonstrates that he can play.
If he does go to Everton I expect he will do ok there.
He will suit the defensive tactics of Moyes hitting teams on the break and he would not be expected to have much involvement in the build up of moves.
