BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 The going rate for English wingers is ridiculous but Johnson would be a perfect signing. I say we make a starting bid of £25m with the potential to go up to £35m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeB 1,281 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 We had to pick him at Boro, now he is too expensive for the what he can really bring to the squad... Yes, good impact player with speed and pace but he isn't intelligent, his crossing ability is poor (I don't even know if he targets a precise zone when he crosses) and he does not know when to give the ball, like a 18 year old whereas he is 23...Either taking Jarvis, Wolves have no financial struggle and if we put 10~15 on the table he is ours. Jarvis is such a fantastic player, I watch some Wolves games only to see him (and Fletcher also, imagine if we replace Kalou by Fletcher, giving the scot the support striker role Kalou did never have...). I'm sure the greatest replacement for Anelka is Steven Fletcher, he has the quality of a #10 and he is able to play on the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I would sign him in a heartbeat given the chance. It would be like having a better Joe Cole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He reminds me of Antonio Valencia in terms of how far he will work for the team. I'd much prefer him to Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ will cost around £25-30million, at least.theres a difference, downing was villas best player and they had already sold young, AJ is not needed at city so he will cost less, still think between £17m-£25m but imo he is worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonPride1905 236 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 [Rumour] #Liverpool and #Chelsea to lock horns with each other for the signature of out of favoured Manchester City winger Adam Johnson! Johnson aged 24 is expected to leave in January and is valued at around £15M-£18M. It is believed Johnson is willing to end his City career in search for regular first-team football. Liverpool have been looking for a right-winger and can guarantee Johnson regular first team football unlike at Chelsea who have options down the flanks. Should we consider him! Just read this. And got a thought to my self... playing with Sturridge - Mata - Johnson and Torres upfront...EPIC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeB 1,281 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 We should leave him to Liverpool, a front 4 featuring Johnson, Downing, Kalou and Carroll would be epic ! And well overpriced !For me, Johnson is a waste of money, especially for nearly £20m. We should have take him at Boro, it's too late now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperVerus 6 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Kalou out, Johnson in! that would make me happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Johnson - yes please!Another Englishmen (remember, we are an England based football team!) and another great winger. Mata being played as the creative midfeilder with Johnson and Sturridge rotating the right hand side, hell even put Sturridge on the left. Basically, if we did get him, would be the final nail in the coffin in terms of Kalou's future at the club. And with the way AVB has already been rotating members of the team in and out of the first eleven is very encouraging. Maybe a little more with Josh would be better though.

Peace. 4,352 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 It seems he can't play a full game for his life. We don't need this kind of player, unless he has Messi's talent... Which isn't the case. Next ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak 22 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Should of taken him from Boro. Don't believe he's worth 20 million...I'd rather take the risk on Steven Fletcher (as Kalou's replacement) or give Wolves around 15 million for Jarvis.

Spike 12,049 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I like him. Better than Downing, Walcott and that guy that plays for Tottenham (Lennon?) put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
