Adam Johnson - surely not?

He played 30 league games. Johnson played 36

Shows him as a better creater than Johnson but not a better goalscorer. To see the truth in them stats you'd have to go deeper suppose and look at goals to shots ratio/chances taken and all that bollocks but it's no surprise really. Even City fans know Navas hasn't done much this year. A lot worse than Johnson have beaten him for stats.
 
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.
:lol::lol::lol::lol:

I like it how people think it's that easy to find a better player than Johnson for less money and with peanuts in wages. Until now we ended with Elmo, Mavrias, , Karlsson, Giaccherini for 13m

Johnson has to stay, him on one wing and Giaccherini on the other genuinely excites me for next season. Not in an Elton John being excited over new batteries being delivered kinda way, but excited nonetheless.
 
No they didn't.

Well, the Chief executive said this......

“Of course you could be a profitable club and sell your best players, but it’s a relegation model.
“We want to keep our assets and not sell them".

Near enough to what I said to be construed as accurate imo.
 
Wouldn't be surprised at all, this club sells anybody who can fetch a decent price.

We'll see, hope he stays.
 
I think we'd be a better TEAM if we replaced Johnson with a rapid winger with better work rate and stamina. It would make us more solid off the ball and more dangerous on the counter attack. Who knows, perhaps getting up the pitch quicker would help our strikers score more than a handful of goals between them.

I certainly wouldn't lose any sleep if we sold Tragic. He hasn't given us value for money at all since he signed.
 
Without doubt. Winger in a struggling team who joint top scores and tops assisting table! We have wanted one of them for years. We now have one and he isn't good enough apparently.

:lol::lol:
Baffling isnt marra. Some of our fans are deluded like them black n whites.
 
No, the possibility of loaning him at cut price, allowing his contract to run down to 12 months furthering lowering any eventual value of sale is, however.

That's if you're taking this article as the gospel.

It's such a ridiculous move that it must mean the bean counters still hold sway.
 
Would be shocked and gutted if the club cashed in on AJ. To be fair to our chief Exec her comments from last year re not selling best players etc were pretty accurate. Selling Mig for the price we did was probably fair to the player, LFC and ourselves. The fee we somehow got for Sess was probably De Fanti's best (only) bit of business in getting a average player out the club. The money we got for Bent/Henderson we just could not turn down. So I don't think anyone can say in recent years we are a selling club.
 
it brought in 16m to spend on transfers though. and took us backwards

2012/13 we finished 17th
2013/14 we finished 14th + a cup final

Hardly going backwards & both players you refer to were replaced by equally as good if not better.
 
yet has the best assists outside the top 6. clearly shite.

Premier League POTM for January too.......we haven't had too many of those since 1992. What people aren't factoring in here is what Johnson actually came out and said on January 1st......he said he'd had a look at himself and thought there was room for improvement and that henceforth he would be giving it everything. There's no doubt that he's been disappointing overall since we signed him but I think he's turned a corner and it would be foolish in the extreme to let him leave without even getting a fee for him......in fact it's so f***ing ridiculous that the story must be made up.
 
Amazing.
It's not long ago , there was hardly a kind word said about Johnson on here.
Personally speaking - if you can get a decent price for him , you'd be well shot.
