Brentford have already offered personal terms, his representatives also met with Everton last week 1 year left on his deal and not expected to extend unless they go up. Expected to cost £20-25m. Interestingly his dad used to be head of recruitment for U17-U23 for us around 2015/16? https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-transfer-brennan-johnson-6995733 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 25 April 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 25 April 2022 This kid is the real deal, there's something very odious about him as well that you only like if he's yours, a bit like Vardy and Maddison 😂 He's my number 1 RW choice if we aren't going for a left footer. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he actually a right winger tho? This has been his best season so far and he’s played most of it upfront or just behind the striker. He’s obviously capable of playing there but is he as effective as he is upfront? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 25 April 2022 Share Posted 25 April 2022 Newcastle going to be a tough one to compete with now unfortunately. Imagine Forest will win the play offs and he stays there a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah his best position is wide right but roaming all over. Forest play 3-4-3 / 3-4-1-2 under Cooper so he's got the licence to roam whilst backed up by Djed Spence to provide the width. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 25 April 2022 Share Posted 25 April 2022 Can't see this happening myself, I think he'll stay at Forest regardless. This is his first full season in their first team really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be the more workman like RW to bring in, and Rodgers likes someone who puts in a shift. Bringing in a player such as Giovani, someone who beats defenders for fun, is what I would love to see, but perhaps Rodgers prioritise work over flair (no,... .not that one) more than artistry you see on the pitch.

There has been notable quality in the Championship that we have failed to pick up, Olise, Eze, Watkins even Johnson, you have to identify and go with what you know and feel about the player. We are not a big 6 where we can wait for the player to prove themselves and then move in with a big offer to secure their services. See @Ric Flairfor a list as long as your arm. Our system is to identify and go with it, we save ourselves a lot of money in that way. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCFCbwoi Posted 25 April 2022 Share Posted 25 April 2022 Talented right footed wingers are hard to come by and I think he’s the real deal. Being able to spend only £20-25 million means we should have plenty of money to strengthen in other areas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfox26 Posted 25 April 2022 Share Posted 25 April 2022 Nobody is paying £20-25m with only a year left. If we are only going to be getting £25m for Tielemans then it will be £10-15m max for Johnson. Unless of course Newcastle want to spunk that kind of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very cautious of drawing Sheff United in the semis. They don’t think that would be plain sailing (well my mate who’s a Forest fan anyway, can’t speak for the full fan base but he assures me that’s causing them some anxiety) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenom Posted 25 April 2022 Share Posted 25 April 2022 This kid has it all. His vision and intelligence for his age is seriously impressive. He doesn't dribble just to dribble - everything he does is for a purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
