Yes. Unless we’re selling Ndoye or Bawka for what we paid for them. Both still get the benefit of the doubt though for me and as far as I know no such deals are on the table for them.

Anyone think Brennan won’t fancy this move? I certainly think it depends on what Glasner has to say, if he’s staying etc..

It wasn’t too long ago Hutchinson was regarded as a flop as well.

Savona was also deemed as shite too. I remember a lot of people not particularly rating CHO in the early days, then there's the likes of Neco, Wood, Sangare...

For me, if we were to go to a fantasy land where such things could happen, I would press a button and swap Ndoye and Brennan in an instant.
That's not to say I think Ndoye is bad, but he's still a mystery box as it stands, whereas Brennan will get 8-ish goals a season. That's not nostalgia talking. The big thing that we're missing this season is a reliable source of goals.
It's all a moot point anyway, but I just wanted to point out that Brennan has rarely started this season.

Yes, he's a good player and I'd absolutely have him back if it was a genuine possibility. Unfortunately it isn't at the moment.

He has emailed over a list of questions to find out.

I'd absolutely let NDoye out if it meant bringing Brennan back in... and I say that as someone who thinks NDoye will come good.
Will he come 20 goals a season good as BJ pretty much did in a terrible Spurs side last season? I doubt it, though I do think there's a player on there.
Id be on the blower to Napoli to see if they still have interest; I'd love to see that understanding between Brennan and Morgan again. A boy can dream...

Agree, it's the Gibbs-White/Johnno understanding that is a major pull for me to want Johnno back. Looks like it's not on the cards and that's fine. Wish him well.

I doubt it counts if he goes for less than they bought him.
Who knows if he gets sold for less we may have to pay compensation. Id defo put that in if someone was putting in a sell on

The Forest get the blame if it falls through
But he did, and we know he links up well with MGW for a start. And he would obviously settle straight away. So why should he be judged the same as a player who never played for us? Doesnt make sense

One hopes he's holding out for our interest. If we're shifting players on this window and Spurs willing to do business with, I'd be all over it.

I think he'll end up at Villa.

Wouldn't surprise me that. I think he'd do well there too.

Absolutely they'll get the best out of him.
I’d take Johnson over N’Doye every single day for our current situation, if we had Johnson who would link up with Gibbs-White immediately we’d be a better team.
No chance it happens but you can’t convince me he doesn’t immediately improve us. We’re in a relegation battle so we need improvements today not in 12 months.
For what it’s worth, as frustrating as N’Doye is I still think there’s something in his game worth persevering with.
Anyway, we’re clearly not interested so this is all a waste of time discussing it.

Not really Ndoye vs Johnson at the moment though is it - it’s more like Hutchinson vs Johnson.

Fabrizio reporting that Sunderland and Everton have asked about him as well.
For those of us inexplicably turning our noses up at him, he must have something about him that Palace, Bournemouth, Everton and Sunderland (teams that are on balance, more or less on par with us) all want him.
I'm disappointed we're honestly not making even an attempt, to be honest. I honestly think that if we threw our hat in the ring with those lot, he'd choose to come back here, especially as we have a European campaign going on.
For me, he'd be more effective than any of the other wide or forward options at the club, with the exception of a fully fit Chris Wood. That's not a knock on Hudson-Odoi or Hutchinson at all, but Johnson would score goals, especially as we're now a better team than we were when he left in 2022-2023.

What about Hutchinson and Johnson?

Jack Burkitt
Yeah, whatever. Not my money!
I’m guessing Johnson will be expecting to play more than he has been though which could well be a factor.
It’s not in public but there is nothing to say we haven’t asked the question. It wouldn’t completely shock me if Forest came out of nowhere and signed him to be honest, especially if we’re going to wheel and deal a bit.
To be honest, the way it’s being reported as being down to Brennan, it makes me think he’s waiting to see if we might come in.
