I'd be f***ing pissed off if we kept Larsson and offload AJ.

I wouldn't. Nee offence to AJ but he got outshone by Larsson majority of last season, would be pissed to see him go especially on loan but if the money was decent and I'd only watched us from last season onwards I'd pick Larsson over him.
 
She also says there are clubs who are profitable but aren't in this league any more
Yeah. Good that you agree with her. We have always reinvested he money we made from player trading and always will under Short I expect. We just tend to do it poorly. The criticism of Byrne on this article was always a load of bollocks that completely missed the point. We were shite for myriad other reasons.

As for Johnson, I'd certainly be disappointed to see him go but if he does - even on loan - you can deduce a few things. Firstly that Poyet isn't all that arsed about him. Second that his wages are unaffordable. That would be a worry overall but I don't see why people criticise the club so much for that - unless they are willing to stump up the 40% season ticket rise that might make them affordable again. We spend more than we can naturally afford season upon season. It's a bit rich for the fans to criticise Short for having limits to his largesse.
 
No chance will we be selling one of our better players, unless a massive offer comes in for him. We barely have enough players for a 1st team as it is without selling more...
 
Johnson is far from perfect, but he is also miles ahead of the rest when it comes to goals, assists and general creative threats. Now is absolutely the WRONG time to move him on. We need to build, not transform.

He had about 3 decent games near the back end of the season. He was shite the rest same as nearly everyone else, hence us finishing where we did and being there all season? He was average at best. Nowt special by a long way.

Aye, his hat trick at Fulham was average. His 8 PL goals average? When we play well he is key to that.

Hence why I said he had about 3 decent games all season. 8 Goals is shite even Charlie Adam got that and he scored a hattrick against a team that went down without a fight.
