Why did things not work out for Johnson at Spurs?

Most ppl seem to say good things about him, he seemed a goal threat and it isnt like Spurs have been immense without him
For whatever reason he didn’t seem to fit in with whatever system frank used and he he always appeared to drift in and out of games
 
A quick Google search suggests he’s earned around £4m for his relatively brief stint at Palace. He’s not skint.

That's very little these days. Half gone on tax, probably renting somewhere for £75k plus a year, 3 kids and a wife....it all adds up. A lot to the average person but for someone at the top level of football?

Chelsea would offer him more than that per year. He will be gone like a shot.
 
Michael Owen debut for England was at 18, Rooney was 17.
I get that, but the bad injury he had was 4 years ago and he bounced back from that, it must of been the no guarantee of a regular start that made him want to leave Lpool, he was a regular 23/24 and a big part of them winning the PL last season, plus player of the tournament in last years U21 Champs.

Surprised they let him go.🤷‍♂️

I’m surprised too. Maybe they’ve got an eye for FFP?
 
I’ve just looked through his stats. Very impressive. Which begs the question, is Wirtz really better than him?

Not sure what stats ?

Elliott started 3 games last season for us

Wirtz imo is a more talented player than Elliott

Elliott would be a solid squad option but the club spent a significant amount on a player who was going to start ahead of him

He only started 2 games in the prem last season with both of them coming after the title was won

Played around 100mins of football before that - he spent most of the season on the bench
