So Elanga to Newcastle in January for a healthy profit. Need a replacement. Theres a young wide forward at Tottenham who seems to be having a really tough time and could use some love. Loan with an option. Would you take him back?

I moved on a long time ago.
Not a chance I'd want him back.

... I assume you're talking 'bout Spence?

Oh, you're talking about Johnson, I did not realize he was getting mauled.
We may need 4 HGC players for Europe next season, so yeah but not to replace Elanga... in addition too.

No not Spence!  Do I really need to spell it out?

I would say Sal is talking about Johnson.

Its a bit NO from me as his old man wouldn't allow it for one and if he did he'd want a stupid amount for him.

To be honest our ability to find good bargins at the moment is the road we need to take.

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).

Yes that is correct.

Nuno said we will need everyone but perhaps it happened earlier than planned.

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

Have to agree mate. He looks shot. He's not right.
