Brennan Johnson has hit back at Jamie O'Hara and Gabriel Agbonlahor after the pair mocked his latest transfer.
Johnson joined Everton in a swap deal from Crystal Palace, with Dwight McNeil moving the other way.
Johnson's time in south east London was brief, having only moved to the club in January from London rivals Tottenham.
O'Hara and Agbonlahor discussed the details of the transfer on Tuesday while speaking on talkSPORT.
"I like Dwight McNeil," O'Hara said. "Brennan Johnson has been a myth for a few seasons. He didn't do it at Spurs. He hides in games."
Agbonlahor then added to the criticism.
"You look at their output last season, it's a bit like 'you give us him and we'll give you him!'"
Trophy records compared
As the presenters laughed, O'Hara made a further comment.
"We'll give you crap, we'll give you crap back!"
Johnson responded to the pair on Instagram.
"Won more than both of these put together," he wrote under a post.
The Wales international has won two major trophies, compared to the one combined between his two critics.
O'Hara won the 2007/08 League Cup with Tottenham, while Agbonlahor won nothing during his career. Johnson scored the winning goal in the Europa League final in 2024/25 for Tottenham and won the Europa Conference League with Palace last season.
Presenters backtrack
Following criticism of his comments, O'Hara took to X on Wednesday to defend himself.
"This the prob [problem] when you only listen to a clip and not full story," O'Hara wrote.
"We were talking about Brennan and McNeil stats from last season which were C**P not that they were bad players, I'm a fan of McNeill [sic] and also said Brennan has all the attributes but he would admit his season was crap."
Agbonlahor was on talkSPORT again on Wednesday morning and apologised, directing the blame at O'Hara.
"What did I do wrong? It was Jamie that said 'c**p for c**p,'" Agbonlahor said.
"I want to apologise to Brennan Johnson. I could have not laughed, but when someone makes you laugh it's normal to start laughing."
"I thought Jamie O'Hara was out of order. I think Jamie needs to apologise. You can't say 'cr*p for cr*p'. I thought Jame was out of order looking back at that now."
