Johnson has his medical today I’m reading.
10 Aug 2026 09:16:08
Yep GB, the BBC are reporting both players having medicals today, so deal should be confirmed soon (all being well) .

Can Brennan Johnson play as a 9 or is he just a winger?
10 Aug 2026 11:39:48
It's RB I'm concerned with.. Can he play there?

I was speaking to a friend of mine this morning who is a Spurs fan. He said he was decent for them and was surprised they let him go, so I think it sounds like we’re getting the better end of the deal.
Palace paid £35m for him in Jan, and we’re swapping him for a player in the last year of his contract who we’d lost for free at the end of the season.

I do wonder about this being a straight swap. Does anybody know what was the structure of Johnson's move from Spurs to Palace? Could we be possibly picking up any outstanding instalments still owed to Spurs?
10 Aug 2026 13:43:33
Let TFG worry about payments, etc. Not for us lowly fans.
10 Aug 2026 15:06:15
Yeah, I get that, but being reported as a straight swap may be misleading, and therefore eating into our overall budget.
That said, I'm looking forward to seeing him in an Everton shirt.
Good luck to Dwight too.
10 Aug 2026 15:18:47
Yep I wish Dwight all the best.
{Ed025's Note - me too..

The Premier League have to ok the deal before it goes through, taking into account the estimated value of each player, and to ensure it meets their dodgy criteria.
10 Aug 2026 16:36:03
We will probably get deducted 6 points before the deal gets approved.

In all honesty, I hope McNeil does well for them. Him and his other half seem decent people. It just didn't fully work out for him here. Scored a couple of crackers and had one good game playing at 10.
Let's hope this Johnson lad hits the ground running and outperforms all expectations.
10 Aug 2026 19:13:27
Is it a clever move? Do both clubs value the players at, say, 30 million, and then show that as income to improve PSR?
10 Aug 2026 19:17:25
I liked McNeil tbh. Not consistent, but scored a few great goals, getting mixed rumours about Johnson's attitude and inconsistency, so let's just wait and see!
10 Aug 2026 22:19:49
Was very sceptical about signing McNeil but only high praise for him, decent player on his day and wish him all the best of luck for the future and most importantly happiness.
