It's nothing if the player works out a lot if he doesn't50 in todays money isn't even that crazy that's the thing
Both the skill and the taking him out have their merits tbh!Still love that Richy did this, and still pisses me off everyone jumped on how “disrespectful” it was

Interesting valuation here.
Maddison age 26, 1 year left on deal, relegated club basically having to sell, very proven top class player =£40mil
Johnson age 22, 4 years left on deal, PL side who need him to fight to stay up, good player 8 goal season in struggling side but not as proven quality as Maddison = £tbc but seemingly £45m+
I’d say given the above, £45mil would be a fair fee for him.

Tottenham close in on £50 million deal for Brennan Johnson
Nottingham Forest winger prefers move to Spurs over Brentford
Tottenham Hotspur are getting closer to agreeing a £50 million deal for Brennan Johnson with the Nottingham Forest forward preferring a move to Ange Postecoglou’s side over Brentford.
Postecoglou is keen to improve Tottenham’s striking options after the sale of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich. The club’s good start to the season, with seven points won from three games, has come amid a lean run of form for Richarlison, the Brazilian who has been starting at centre forward for Tottenham.
Brentford, who had a bid rejected in the summer, are still interested in the 22-year-old Wales forward but it is understood he would prefer a move to Spurs.
Forest are confident Tottenham will reach their valuation with the potential of players heading to the City Ground as part of the deal. It is understood centre back Davinson Sánchez is one of the players under consideration to head to Forest. Talks between the two clubs over the deal are said to be progressing ahead of Friday’s deadline.
Do you think if Kane had 4 years left on his deal we'd sell him for £100m?Our forward group is the weakest part of the squad and we're adding another depth level player for basically half the amount we got for Kane. It's such crap. We need proper quality up there to really push on and we're ignoring that for "creative deals" because we've fucked the HG issue. Would rather they give an academy player like Santiago the odd go than sign a fourth winger under the age of 23 who's not proven completely himself.
I bet Brighton's computer never predicted getting their arse spanked 3-1 at home to West Ham!Totally agree.
Tony Bloom at Brighton and Matthew Benham at Brentford, they own Starlizard and Smartodds respectively. These companies have ridiculously advanced models that are used to predict the outcome of matches with greater accuracy than betting companies. Starlizard hires quants out of investment banks - a few people I started out with have moved there. Starlizard put huge wagers on in Asian markets for their gambling syndicate - the rich give them money to diversify their investments away from financial markets/property/art etc. Huge amounts of data will be fed into these models but I have heard easily the most important is individual player data and knowledge of which players will be playing. You can guarantee that they have successfully used this data in their recruitment at the football clubs they now own - both clubs have seen incredible rises up the leagues and generally recruit both players and managers very well.
To bring this vaguely back on topic, it is a good sign that Brentford are so interested in him.
This is an excellent article on Bloom
/Starlizard. Love that he is the only high level poker player who just does it for fun rather than to earn a living.

What's that got to do with anything? We sold him for a somewhat large fee and so far we've replaced his quality up top with Solomon and what looks to be Brennan Johnson. How can anyone actually be happy with that? What's the point of Levy haggling with Bayern for ages so that we could get the best deal possible to then not buy a high quality forward? That's my issue.Do you think if Kane had 4 years left on his deal we'd sell him for £100m?
