Featured: Reds want Johnson to take paycut?

[Strontium]

100-139 grand per week? Oh do fuck off. I'll bet he's on nowhere near that.

I think it's very likely that he is earning 100k plus. Don't forget, half of that is going to be taken in tax before he even sees a penny.

[Megadrive Man]

How can he be on 100-139 k per week?

 

Does anyone honestly think he will be on higher wages than Gerrard and Suarez?

It'd still get you quite a few toilet seats though SD.

 

I am worried though that the owners are starting to look like they know the price of everything but the value of nothing.

[Anubis]

Time to start looking at right backs we could get on loan?

That Spanish lad at Chelsea is not getting much of a look in....

[Tony Moanero]

you're right

He scores goals, creates goals and has about 50 England Caps

He's no Rob Jones

Rob Jones was boss.

[Jairzinho]

nice one, internet tough guy

 

that's like saying frank Bruno would have been world champion if he could punch and didn't have a glass jaw

 

pipe down with the big man act as well dickhead - you're not impressing anyone.

Frank Bruno was World Champion.

[aws]

Sounds like the first step to selling him or sending him out on loan next summer.

[Tyler Durden]

Ha ha

Yep, planting the seed

[ZonkoVille77]

Good right back but prone to horrendous brain farts at times. He offers so much more going forward and is comfortable on the ball and suits our "style" under BR.

Give him a pay rise.

[The Guest]

Frank Bruno was World Champion.

 

[dennis tooth]

Anyone who 'see's the clubs side' on this....one question.

 

Who do you replace him with? Hes the best right back in the Prem for a start. Martin Kelly? Dont make me laugh, Im his biggest fan and used to know him when we was kids but he's injury prone to say the least and turned out a bit of a knob character wise I hear.

Andre? hahaha Im not even sure he's premiership material a bit Jon Ostemboresque to me thus far, lets hope not but thats all it is, hope.

 

I dont see anyone else, not in our league or anywhere else that could replace him, Daniel Alves? Make a bid and see if he will come for 50 G's.

 

Rodgers seems to know less that the journos about it (Unless he being koi) he's firmly in his plaice isnt he as I dont think he wants to lose him, it will lose him his job? All manner of  

I dont know what Henry is smokin but I want some.thorts running thru me hed.

Or perhaps some potent shit gettin passed around 'Tha Committee'.

 

Its ok, theres plenty of FSG bellwhiffers ready to q up with youtube clips under their arms to tell us there's a big demand for him to be sold and he hasnt been any good for the last 3 seasons etc,etc

[Batigol]

Sorry Dennis, stopped reading at best right back in the league.

[xerxes]

 He's the best right back in the Prem for a start.

Not so.

 

He is a very good footballer, but there are many who could do the job of specialist full back for a fraction of his wages.

 

He is a wing back, who isn't played in that position. He would be far more effective as a midfielder than as a defender where, at the highest level, he is caught out of defensive position too frequently.

[dennis tooth]

The pair of you throw me some names? Who is better in the Prem? Who are any of the many you refer to? Names, tits of GTFO

Code'll be along in a minute and name you 15.

[DanDanShaw]

He's obviously been paid too much but being the best full back in the league by a country mile and top 5 in the world means if we won't pay him what he's on, somebody will.

[Boss]

Probably end up selling him for about 6 million and paying double for Nathaniel Clyne because he'll accept 40k per week. These yanks are a disgrace with their obsession over the wage bill.

[DanDanShaw]

Clyne is a pretty good full back though; I wouldn't pay Johnson anymore than 90,000 per week with his injury record and age.  His contract is up when he's 31, he's a player that relies a long on athletism, whose to say by then he will still be the brilliant player he is today.

 

 

 

If he wants a new deal, he should take a pay cut.  If he hasn't signed on reduced terms by the summer - sell him.  We'd still get about £8-10m for him.

The fact that someone - anyone - on that obscene amount of money gets taxed at no more than 45% is absolutely sickening.

[Anubis]

I don't believe SD was addressing the moral implications of earning such wages, more the practical difficulties of attracting a worthwhile replacement.

Yeah, 'probably'.

Why pay 40k per week when we could offer to loan him and pay half his wages........?

Nice use of the fish analogies there DT, not once but twice
