Tottenham Hotspur manager, Ange Postecoglou, will be delighted with the Deadline Day capture of Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest.
The young Welsh international joins the likes of Micky van de Ven, James Maddison and others in helping to evolve the first-team squad into something approaching what the Australian believes will be a team that’s challenging for all of the game’s major honours.
Though it’s likely to take a while, with the project still in its infancy, things are certainly moving in the right direction.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, writing in his exclusive CaughtOffside Substack, there’s one outstanding negative issue that could potentially overshadow the other good work that’s been done on transfers this summer.
‘Spurs’ priority was always Brennan Johnson, approved by Postecoglou who’s a big fan of the player,’ the transfer expert noted.
‘I think it’s been a very good window for Tottenham, and maybe the only negative point is that there are too many players left there who are not part of the project.’
By the time the transfer window opens again for business in January, everyone will have a much better idea as to how well suited to Tottenham Postecoglou’s signings have been.
The manager is unlikely to be judged too harshly on his first few months in the job, given that he played a blinder in his initial interviews with the media when suggesting that things will be a work in progress for a while, and until he gets the starting XI and the squad as he would like.
Capturing Brennan Johnson is almost certain to help him achieve his aims.
wheres the 2nd centre back where is the centre forward levy has had months to get this done still got the rubbish in dier sanchez davies one injury awayfrom disaster 7th or 8th at best 4out of 10 levy out
Exactly, he thinks it’s clever to wait till the last day to put in bids. It’s just pathetic and undermines the manager.
Don’t be thick , we had to move payers on first , if nobody wants them what’s the club supposed to do ? You think it’s smart having players at the club who don’t have a squad number , this window was always going to difficult
Thick? You don’t know me. Obviously a Levy apologist (see I can make generalisation too).
If he really wanted to move players on, he could have accepted lower offers that he turned down, or just cacelled (by mutual consent, obviously) contracts.
My point was he had weeks to find players. We were linked with over a dozen centre backs, but with 2 hours left he is chasing Trevoh Challobah, ffs. That’s not good enough.
Cant stand levy, he cant sell the deadwood just take a loss you baldy idiot and stop waiting to the last minute every single year i hate him so much, no 2nd CB is and stuck with dier and sanchez and ndombele AGAIN i cannot forgive #levyout #enicout oh and keta not forget we sell our legend and put richy upfront instead who as useless as a fish up a tree
Do u go to games if u do then ur st fault for this as soon as levy gets the money for season tickets he doesn’t care before that number was hit cam ,cb, gk after that last min buy n a player we don’t need as we have 6 wingers already boycotting everyting spurs is only way for change wake the hell up
