Brennan Johnson

Neither can Richi, and Johnson is a much better finisher. And neither could Son, and he scored a good few goals at CF for Ange. Personally wouldn't have minded seeing it....
I think there's a big difference between direct WFs (Son and Johnson) and proper CF. A CF has to have some ability with their back to goal - to hold up the ball and link up play. Without that you'll never leave your own half

Richy is on the whole rubbish at hold up play but he can at least very occasional do it. Johnson would fail every time. This isn't an experiment we even need to see to know it's a waste of time.

he never has time on the ball- doesn’t look for space and I don’t really know if it is good or bad as it fully occupies defenders.
 
Shame, I’d have liked him to stay but I imagine it’s the right move for him to get playing time. Plus early doors too

He just isn't enough week in week out IMO, worth a goal as shown last season, but doesn't work hard without the ball, not for me anyway. I will always be grateful for the goal, but if this means we move on and improve elsewhere, brilliant

Agreed.

Got a soft spot for palace, but if he was that great he would be going to a bigger club for £30 million.
 
Don't know how to call it.... another failed signing! How many of those have we seen - year in, year out! But he did score THAT goal and I guess the joy it brought was worth 20 mill!!!
