Cant see gus selling johnson
No mate but read a similar one yesterday,be very surprised if gus wants johnson outHave you read the article mate?
The only bit about the report I find fanciful is the suggestion of a loan deal. I've no doubt whatsoever that Johnson would be sold if Everton or any other club offered upwards of £8 million.
Johnson despite his critics has been one of our most creative players but the bottom line is he wasn't Poyets choice. Gradually Gus will introduce to the squad players he has identified / targeted as being suitable for his preferred system. A quicker way of doing this is by moving on some of the more valuable assets to accumulate a larger spending fund. I think Johnson and Fletcher both fall into the expendable catergory.
This is actually in the Sunday People today but follows a similar one I highlighted on PF about 3 weeks back.
Today's offering says Everton are interested in a season-long loan of Johnson - but not in buying him.
It adds that Sunderland have "found no takers since informing middlemen that they were prepared to listen to offers".
As I said last time, no way I'd do this unless a VERY good replacement was in the bag. Seems the reason (if true) is simple wage-bill reduction.
I wish I shared your optimism.I've read some made up horse shit in my time, but the mirror seem to excel in this reguard. You would think that they'd involve a bit of logical sense when creating their Sunday bullshit. Nice to see people on the board continue getting self indignant at fairy stories though.
Exactly this for me. Year in year out we've done yet people are surprised when it happensIt's what we do so it wouldn't surprise me. Sell our best players to buy journeymen. If its true then we know nothing has changed.
