It's a loss in player trading terms.

But it's a business, and in business and accounting it's not.
Of course it would be better if we got 150m, but you ain't going to get that from a player who is now just a squad option.
He was perfect for Ange, but isn't good enough all round player.
But I'm pretty sure he'll be useful for Palace.

Personally I think this is a mistake and when he's banging them in for someone else we'll regret it.
Should he go will we then have sold our last three top scorer for the preceding season, kane, son and BJ?
Someone at the club does realise that the point is to score goals, don't they?

The problem is (and sorry if this has been covered) that we spent a lot of money buying a first choice in Johnson’s best position - so the seeds were sowed then.
He’s proven he’s no real use on the left. But he hasn’t been tried down the middle - so there’s an argument to say it would cost more than £35m to sign a 24 year old tap in merchant* who can play in a front 2.
*I actually think it’s an under appreciated skill to get in between the posts so regularly. Many other forwards in our ranks seem to struggle with it!

We don't need a central tap in merchant that plays best in a front 2 system that we don't even play and are unlikely to play.
Take the money and run.
The more we lose on players the less we have to spend. At the end of the day our business is winning football games. I couldn't care less if we make a profit on the financial reports.
We want to have the ability to play various styles and formations, and in order to do that we need to have players who can play different positions and ways.
Johnson is absolutely not that sort of forward, and he will ultimately not fit our setup.
We know that our front line needs to be revamped and while I wouldn't start with Johnson in an ideal world, the squad is full and we need to rotate players out for better and more suited ones to the managers vision.
He's a legend for what he did in Bilbao but anyone who says he's critical to our future is overlooking the one dimensional nature of his play. If he stays he's a squad or impact player, but if he goes I wish him well.

I have always wanted to see if he could learn/play a 'second striker' role off the CF. Ghost runner through the channels. I suppose that would require a passer and a style we are not interested in...
