Louis Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/03/23/evertonin-talks-nottingham-forest-sign-teenager-brennan-johnson/ Everton are in talks with Nottingham Forest over a deal for teenage midfielder Brennan Johnson, as the club step up their search for the countrys leading young talents. Johnson, 15, is the son of former Forest and Ipswich striker David and Everton have seen a number of bids rejected by the Championship club. Everton want to sign the England under-16 international this season but have been told to pay around £1million, with director of football Steve Walsh now expected to enter negotiations. The deal could go to a tribunal if Everton fail to agree a fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will second that. I think if we had taken this approach of buying high quality youngsters from day one of Moshiri' tenure - we would be in a far better position - football wise and financially. Lets hope they have leant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodison Glory Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 How depressing reading the first post that Steve Walsh could've signed him for 1M. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUnderToff Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 This kids an interesting one. Very much want him (cause high quality young talent is a no brainer) but he's very much in the Dele Alli positional mould. Can play across the front line but seems best in a second striker role.

How old is he? About 20? Isn’t it about five years since Walsh left? Reckon he was probably a kid back then. Wouldn’t be worrying about that.

RuffRob Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Can't see him moving now after Forest gaining promotion. I can't believe its 23years since Forest have been in the top division!! I fucking old did I feel when the commentator said this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Trigger Posted June 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Too late and too much money now. The time to go for Johnson was 2 seasons ago. We have to get better at identifying talent early and investing. Not investing when a player is just about at their peak value.

Romey 1878 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 More made up nonsense. And then you'll have people frothing at the mouth when what would have been a decent signing doesn't happen even though it was a total fabrication to get clicks and interactions.

RuffRob Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 yeah, time for him was a couple of seasons ago when playing in the Championship. But then again Brighton have just spent a reported £40M on a 21 year old Joao Pedro from Watford and wasn't Gibbs White a similar sort of fee last year and our own Gordon £45M to warm Newcastle's bench. Scary big fees for young talent these days - and just to keep up with your Brighton's and Forests!!! StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
