Adam Johnson - surely not?

The problem with that theory is that given money to spend and freedom to choose his players Gus bought two duds. I certainly wouldn't be happy if we are going down what route (again) of selling the crown jewels and buying fake Rolex's.

Might just be the way the cookie crumbles. For all his ability to get us playing good football, he might be a bad scout who nonetheless demands freedom to choose his players. Plenty managers are.
 
Without him, we wouldn't have survived.

Maybe not but you could say that about a few. Mannone, Borini, Poyet. I'm not saying he's shite but he's not as good as he's made out to be and for good money we could replace him with a cheaper alternative who could do what he's done this season.
 
I'd say 4 out the 5 I named you'd class as wingers. That isn't including Whittingham at relegated Cardiff as well who got the same amount. We scored 41 goals last season, Johnson created 6 of them. Pretty shit really by anyones standards for the so called most creative player in a team.

How many of them scored AND created more? Is the answer none?
 
I wouldnt put anything past the current board. Alot of decsions over past 3 years have made no football sense whatsoever. Its the bullshit soccernomics model they seem intent on following.
 
If it were true it would indicate serious financial issues at the club - which would come as a surprise. My own bet would be that Johnson only leaves if Poyet wants it. Wouldn't be what I'd do but if that is what the coach wants then we'd just have to trust him I guess.

Article is most likely a load of bollocks.

I don't think Poyet fancies him. Just a hunch like but still. He isn't enough of a team player.
 
oh boo f***ing hoo. do you actually go to the games and watch him? better than larsson? :lol::lol:

You obviously don't or if you do you don't watch much. Or do you just cheer when everyone else cheers and listen to the bloke telling you who scored?

i do go, but you obviously don't and just seem to follow the sheep in saying that he's not good enough for us.

It'll be brilliant Buckley from Brighton. We are the Bosmans, the borrowers and the cheapies. A once proud club, going to the dogs.

No maybe about it. We will replace with cheaper and worse another bunch of journeymen that no one else will want. The club is a joke, we nurture players and give them away and buy in dross. Still, we can always borrow, what is the rationale in shouting encouragement to a player who isn't even ours, it's almost half a team.
 

I actually own one of them cars :lol:

I don't think so this time. Gus seems set on buying players from at least these shores, the Williams bid is encouraging. That lad from West Brom I have no clue how good he is but it beats these unknown foreigners with zero clue of what anyone is saying, never mind how to kick a ball.

knowing your sight, it'll be the fire engine.
 
it wouldnt surprise me if we had to offload his wages in order to rebuild and meet FFP.ship him out on loan, hope he has a good season and that someone makes an offer the following preseason may be a thought.
then again, it might be a slow news weekend.
 
League appearences? Didn't Man City switch there squad a lot for the cups so Navas hardly played?
its still impressive for us. how much did navas cost ffs, there's a f***ing good reason why they paid a lot of money for competition for every place with class players.

qpr are fucked then, they'll have to sell virtually their whole team just to comply with ffp.
