Not a chance Levy would sell him back to us for less than we paid and at that price there’s better options.
He would obviously improve the squad but he’d be behind CHO and Elanga and his lack of defensive work would mean we would have to set up differently

I know I promised to be Captain Optimistic this season, but I honestly think that the talk of Brennan coming back to Forest in the summer of 2025 is so far off the mark I’m surprised so many are thinking it even remotely possible.

Yep, and then you’re almost at Cunha money.

Sangarè plus £10 million should do it.

If there is a sell on clause , Forest might get a reduced fee for him .

Would better players want to come to Forest and be benched like Sosa?
At least Brennan knows he'll have to fight for a place for his boyhood club and it gives Elanga competition to up his game.

Would be fantastic but unlikely Spurs will want to sell

Even if he wasn’t a homegrown player for us, I’d welcome Johnson signing here. He’s super quick and scores goals. Every time I see him for Spurs he looks a goal threat and is far from being the problem there.
The problem would be Levy gouging us for a huge fee to save face and then it gets to a price where you could probably get a better player.

On the defensive issue, I'm pretty sure I remember reading that it was tactical. Cooper wanted him further up the pitch and didn't want him knackering himself out defending.

Only way way this happens in my opinion is if we're sell Elanga to free up FFP wiggle room.
We could sell Elanga and bank what might be £50m up front, then buy BJ back at the price we paid for him (Levy won't let him go for less) and on a fiver year deal that's £10m on the books for this year.
Gives £40m towards other signings, and may give us the space to bat away Murillo interest?

I don't know what the financials involved would be, because I'm not privy to that information at Forest or at Spurs, nor whether Brennan would actually be interested in returning to Forest.
That being said, if the finances were right and Brennan did have an interest then for me, it's a no f***ing brainer.
Playing with a counter attacking style, as we do, one of the key components for that, is being able to get up the pitch at speed. Brennan, with Elanga, is one of the fastest players in the league and he's been perfecting those late runs into the box while at Spurs. Something that I think we do lack sometimes is someone driving into the box or getting in behind. Elanga does it, and Wood sometimes does it, but Brennan also did it here and did it well.
Having him means that we would rely less on Elanga/CHO/Wood, as Elanga can play all across the front, Johnson can play as a striker or on the right and CHO can play left or right. Having CHO, Elanga and Brennan to stretch teams in the last 15-20 minutes when Wood has done his thing for 60-70, you get a feel for why that might be quite effective.
He obviously has quite a long standing working relationship with Neco, but he also worked incredibly well with Gibbs-White as well in that first season under Cooper.
Obviously, the homegrown player would be a benefit and I suppose from an emotional point of view, him returning would be nice but if you asked me if I'd rather we spent 45-50 on Brennan than 62 on Cunha, I'd say Brennan all day.

16 goals in a shite Spurs side and some say he's not good enough for Nottingham Forest?

Be the same lot who said he wasn't good enough when he was doing well for us.

It depends on what people are looking at.
Brennan's one of those who'll do nothing for most of the game and still get 2 goals. Its hard to judge that kind of player tbh.

The great thing about Spurs is they'll always have that same group of **** fans dragging them down. Enjoy the moment... it will not be the start of something!

Congratulations to him. He’s playing in a team full of Championship standard players, but somehow got them a European trophy.
I’m a bit sad though as it lessens any chance of us signing him back
