I kind of thought because with both CHO and Elanga they were struggling with the weight of expectation at a big club and seemingly dragged them down. Exactly what is happening with Johnson right now, hes just deleted his insta account presumably after getting a ton of abuse. The ability is there for sure.
If we could get a bargain (say £25m buy back) it would be interesting but agree they may not be at that stage yet. Also agree his old man’s ego could be a problem.
Also think this is the level we should be operating at now, in other words fine to look for those that are playing but underperforming for big clubs. What we shouldn’t be doing is looking in those clubs bomb squads ie Spence

Its a no from me for both of them. They moved on to bigger and better things and so have we.

I'd only take Johnson back if we needed 4 home grown club players for some reason.
Maybe Matty Cash too.

I honestly think Elanga is a better player than Johnson. I've always thought so since Elanga's first few games for us.
It wouldn't suprise me if Johnson's career begins to spiral and he ends up at a promoted side, scrapping to stay up. Anyway, regardless, it's mission accomplished for Jonno snr though, he's got his lad a bumper contract now and probably a massive signing on fee too.

If I am not mistaken we have already used all our 24 man squad after just 5 games (and one cup game).

Taiwo. He tries but he has clearly lost some pace. I know this sounds harsh but he barely looks Championship level right now.
