Transfer thread

But City acting like the big club keeping their player until ready. And we’re leaving Frank short. Johnson might have come on to grab the winner when Richi was ragged last night.
Oh Come on! Frank has shown almost no interest whatsoever in playing Johnson so far this season! It’s not like he’s had a starter sold from under his nose. He still had Tel and Muani to bring on midweek and both would have still come on ahead of Johnson in Franks mind.

Nonsense. Johnson came on in the previous game and did well. Helped us get the 3 points.

When Richi was knackered against Brentford he had chances to help us win the game at the end. Tired he could not get passes off or a finish off. A fresh player like Johnson might have.

Like you say utter nonsense! Had Frank shown any interest in Johnson this season we wouldn’t be selling him would we…. Let’s not make out the club is doing something Frank doesn’t want which is the insinuation here.

Still selling a resource, clubs work these things out by committee now, thats why Palace are buying him knowing Glasner is likely off in 6 months.

I massively expect better players coming in, BJ departure and the money/wage room only solidifies that

It’s pragmatic to sell absolutely ✅

But Frank brought Johnson on in the game prior to good effect - we won. ✅

We didn’t have Johnson for Brentford and were short and drew, with Richarlison knackered ❌

We could have used Johnson in that game and against Sunderland.
 
Idk if Savinho was the player we were looking to sign. Would seem odd for City to start him. And even more odd for us to release Johnson without confirming Savinho. Questions have to be asked if so.

We don’t know. Could be after another player or signing - Rodrygo!

The only saving grace is we didn’t sign Savinho only for him to get injured.
 
One other possibility is we are keeping options open - now that Savinho is injured anyway.

Rodrygo has been flirting with Europes top sides. And whilst we’ll probably be used to flush out the goons or chavs, it might be an option. Which of course we have to explore.
 
Sure but perhaps the MO has changed which can be more successful in hiring a CEO with a different skill set.
I think it is pretty clear really. Lewis was very happy with the way Levy ran the club. Levy had turned about £100m investment into a £3+ billion asset. I think we all should be able to agree that Lewis' main motivation in life is to have as high a net worth as possible, so why would he have been anything but delighted with Levy as THFC's decision maker?

Ownership has now been transferred to Lewis' children and perhaps they feel they will have enough money for themselves, their descendants, their descendant's descendants and their descendant's, descendant's, descendants and have motivation to see the club they support and own achieve glory in the way of trophies? Only time will tell.
 
Strange to let Brenan go without a replacement all but done. As we could have done with another attacker against Brentford and the window for Sunderland registration must be close.

Shouldn’t have let Johnson go for 35m unless we were ready. 40m take him now, 35 when we’re ready.

Although maybe needed the cash flow? So we can execute transfers. Seems unlikely.
We shouldn't need the cash flow at all considering the recent £100m loan secured on future ticket revenue and the equity injection from the Lewis family.
