    Not disagreeing with that. If we do bring in a RB in January then it's best if Juranovic's move if it's happening happen then. But there might not be the required interest for it to happen is basically what I'm saying.

    Unless Johnston is seen as more of a project, to develop, which I doubt given his age, I think one will depend on the other. So can see it being lined up dependent on a buyer coming in for Juranovic.

    I wasn't really either but we aren't signing a right back and not selling him. Can't see anyone paying big money for Ralston either so I think it's pretty much guaranteed JJ is for the off.

    I don't think anyone here is saying he's prime Dani Alves. He's far better than Ralston defensively for me and positionally and he's just a better technically minded player than Ralston. I think Ralston gives you more fight and dig and he's more of a threat going forwards when it comes to crossing or being in the box.

    I absolutely detest it when people come on here and downplay a players ability for no real reason. They're either saying it because they know the player wants to leave or they're saying it because they prefer another player in there. Ralston is well loved, by me included, but people on here deliberately over hype his ability and downplay JJ's for me. I think JJ is much better and I'm going to be honest, I don't even think it's that close. I just feel much better when JJ is in the team. I absolutely love Tony and I * love his story but JJ is the far better, classier player.

    I am not downplaying him mate, i just think that Johnston is a great replacement if JJ is off. I rate this guy but have only seen him 4-5 times and he has been class every time. I rate JJ, but i can't see anyone bidding 15m+ for him as he have not been that good imo to get valuated that high. Maybe because he is a croatia international we might get that, but they lack RB's of quality in Croatia.

    Mind what ange said though we make signings with a view to a window or two down the line. Rogic told him in December he was leaving end season we got Matt in early could be same situation here

    No issue with his overall play and ability. He does bring the looks of the team down though, we need to get our priorities straight. You can't replace JJ with an ugly player.
