Brennan Johnson


deleted 25 Flag 26 Jan 22 3.42pm

Watched the second half of the Forest v Arsenal game and this guy stood out for me

Brentford who have quite a good scouting record have had a couple of bids turned down

Son of David Johnson whose clubs included Nottm Forest,Ipswich,Burnley,Sheff Wed, Sheff Utd.

Brennan Johnson used to support the teams his father played for but mainly Nottm Forest as he was brought up in the West Bridgford area of the city.

Tremendous turn of pace,got quick feet and likes to run at defenders and take them on.

Cup-tied, then. He would have to sit out the Final in May should we sign him.

Very good player but he doesn't look to be the same quality as Olise. Brennan is a great winger but hasn't shown to be a great player, he may develop but not yet first team quality.

I now live in Nottingham and Djed spence is the stand out player when I watch them. oh how I'd love him to come in and replace Joel.

Thanks for that aj. Always good to have a view from someone who sees a player/team regularly.

You must be brave living in Derbyshire but going to watch Forest!

It was Neil Warnock who said that Djed Spence could either play in the PL or non-league, it was up to the player.He also said the same about Victor Moses when he was at our club.

It was Tony Pulis who signed Spence for Middlesbrough, on a 'Free' from Fulham.

Just found this quote from Warnock regards Spence :
"I let him go. He needed to sort himself out, really.
"I basically said to him that you can go to the top or you can go non-league".

See 'Forest' have turned down an £18m bid from Brentford for the lad.

 

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Do you know why Spence doesn’t play for his parent club Middlesbrough? Weird that they sent him out on loan.

Johnson and Spence looked good on the Forest right.

If Forest go up then think Spence would sign for them permanently

Leicester looked tired and predictable in comparison to Forest.

They both look precisely the type of players we would go for. I reckon quiet enquiries may have been made, or else tracking. However, their current exposure will have upped their price tag and size of chasing club. No Olise type bargain to be had. We will thus likely secure neither.

 
Robk Flag 07 Feb 22 2.04pm

Both looked excellent.. Johnson is a little like Olise... Spence would be a great buy.. can’t understand why Middlesbrough sent him out on loan... odd decision...

 
Nubes Flag London 07 Feb 22 10.02pm

I saw him playing when he was at Boro. He didn’t pull up any trees and to tell the truth he wasn’t playing well.

Maybe he feels more comfortable in Nottingham as opposed to Middlesboro. Yeah

 
Palace in the Blood Flag 08 Feb 22 3.33pm

There were rumours of personal/attitude problems at Boro. I think he was sent away to see if he could sort them. It looks like his recent performances show he is doing so

I was under the impression most human beings would.
