Brennan Johnson

[optimistic_red]

I listened to the podcast this morning, I thought Johnno came across very well.

Regarding Brennan's future, nothing is decided at the moment, but he is happy at Forest at the moment, likes the manager, team mates, club and city.

He will sign a contract once everyone is ready.

Jonno didn't say anything of note really, other that the first contract offer "wasn't very good". In the past he's said there was no dispute about wages in that offer. So it sounds like it was this release clause which wasn't considered to be very good.

Jonno was very complimentary about all aspects of the club in the podcast which was refreshing as in the past he's not been so positive. But in my book, unless he drops this ridiculous demand for a release clause, then there shouldn't be any new contract, unless it's set at something ridiculous like £75m. If we get promoted and BJ tears it up in the prem for us over a couple of seasons we could well be looking at collecting £45/50m for him.

As I keep saying the contract offer that was put to Brennan earlier this season would have kept him as one of the lowest paid players in the squad. Assume we are now talking more realistic numbers in keeping with his status as one of our key players.

I don't think it's impossible he's with us in the championship next year. Would probably partly depend on what offers we receive and whether they believe he'd be a genuine starter and for a club that's not likely to be relegated like Brentford.

Probably also depends on whether we can realistically go another window without selling someone as still meet FFP, seems pretty unlikely to me.

Johno also talked well about the academy including cash , wozza and Yates’y as well. I am starting to agree with him if yates'y adds 10 goals a season to his game he becomes a complete midfielder and walks into PL teams , can see why he is now being scouted by PL teams , Coop’s has improved his game so much in a short space of time . ( He has 4 goals under cooper this season )

Yates has been our most watched player for quite a while now.

Bit of a scare yesterday when BJ went down near the end but thankfully he looked okay. Begs the question though with both Lolley and Mighten on the bench why we didn't pull BJ off after 80 minutes or so it's not as if we were in any danger of letting the points slip away.

Exactly. Instead Hughton  Cooper brought on Yates and Cafu to consolidate when Mighten and Lolz could have got a decent 15 mins.

Just saw the yellow card in the first half, can see why he's got a reputation for diving now!

He didn’t get booked for diving though so the referee couldn’t have thought it were a blatant dive.

He was booked for throwing the ball into the ground afterwards.

Yep. It's because he dives alot....

Got someone booked in front of us with a superb Cruyff turn/megs then flopped as he went past the defender when he clearly could of carried on as defender basically just tickled his back (at 0-0 he probably would have done). 

Apparently it's "modern football". 

Great young player, love him to bits, he gets targeted with lots of rough stuff, I just don't like diving.
