Is this a fresh link as we were linked last night to this lad ... if it is fresh link may have some legs. 

We’ve been mentioned for a while but a lot of clubs are interested, he’ll probably end up signing for Real Madrid but… some “competition” leaving the race, could open up more of an opportunity… depending on who’s actually interested…

Sounds like it could be a bit of a complex and pricey move…

No.  But you can't argue with maths either.  You said the chances were 0.027% when based on 2 correct transfers out of 70 links the answer is 2.8%.  Now if you had said 2 out of 7000 links then you'd be on to something....

True. I just woke up and didn't think through

Centre back/right back. Good ball player. Would seem like a very random link for a specific Milanista account to make up. Might have legs. 

In the words of Romano. Here we go!

Same - which is why I don't think we'll sign him because he's not showing enough to justify 50m or whatever they want. His data is available and it's not really that impressive. 

Nationality has absolutely nothing to do with it - don't be silly. 

To be fair, not to be the "just buy whoever Brighton and Brentford want" guy but everything Brentford do is based around data and he's been a main target of theirs for a couple of seasons now. So he must be doing something right on that front even though it doesn't seem the case on FBRef and whatever else us common folk use.

Which is a fair point but you could also say that their valuation of him is also a lot lower than Forest's, which is the point. 

It's important to state here that we're not talking about bad players anymore, but rather looking at value and ceilings. I don't think Johnson would be worth spending more than 25/30m on in today's market - that doesn't mean I think he's shit, just not up to the required level yet.

He did a u turn it seems.

Maybe he was just playing hard to get.

Or thought he would get a better offer, which never came. Lol

The negotiating equivalent of play out from the back, get pressured on the ball, have no outlets so just kick it long.

Anyone think we’re in for Kudus?

Hope so. He can play second striker or anywhere across the  midfield bar DM. Has pace and strength, would suit our style, plus we lack a real direct runner in our attack.

This would make sense he would fit straight in very athletic defensive RB.

Think the Villa data department and scouting team goes a tad deeper than fbref or whatever fan site you wanna reference.

Just turned 22, had a very impressive season on loan at Reims and he has homegrown status. It's not really that hard to understand tbf especially when that's the figure they're starting from rather than what they'll probably accept. 

So Johnson’s a proven premiership player isn’t worth the £££ but Balgoun’s who’s played in the farmers leagues and unproven in the prem is - mmm okay 😂…
