Should Glen Johnson get a new contract?

[an tha]

Bit of a pop on his twitter using the phrase 'genuinely supported me'

[Strontium]

Thank fuck.  Over-rated shite from day one.  Selling a far better player to Madrid for peanuts jst added insult to injury.

 

Compounded by then selling another better player to Palace for peanuts.

A loyal servant and model professional who gave his all here, he turned down top clubs to sign for us and ignored interest while here.

 

He's been treated poorly by fans the last two seasons and seems to have been made one of the scapegoats.

 

Injuries have hurt him the last two years but he still contributed towards to our title challenge last year, I wish him all the best and don't see us getting a rb that is better then a fully fit GJ.

Not good enough for Chelsea, and unsigned by any rival top four clubs or quality Euro opposition, Johnson is amongst the poorest specialist full backs we have had. Pompey was about right for him.

 

A very good footballer, he would have fitted in well to a German side playing 352.

Agreed.

Enigmatic and well out of his depth.

 

Like Glen Johnson.

[Stickman]

Having medical at Stoke....

 

Can't think of a better way of getting someone back for beating us 6-1

Cue a 30 yard stunner from him when we play them first game of the season.

[Strontium]

Given that he turned down £60k a week from us, I wonder how much Stoke will be paying him.

Good riddance you toilet seat robbing, wage thieving robbing, half arsed cunt

Excellent trolling JP.

Probably no more . He's gone to play football to be fair . Borini should take note and do one

What I said there was spot on, he was a good player for us and struggled the last couple of years.I never understood fans criticising him when he is one player who turned down big clubs and money to sign for us and was a loyal servant.

 

As soon as I heard about him joining Stoke I keep getting flashbacks of him cutting in on his left foot and banging one in, hopefully that's not a premonition for the first game.

What big clubs made a formal offer for him?

 

I think you will find that the so called interest was a figment of his agents' imagination as he negotiated a new contract.

 

He was a "loyal servant" insofar as he knew he had struck lucky with his wages and could never get a similar deal again, as has been proved he case.

Chelsea and City had both agreed fees for him when we signed him, he turned down both for LFC.Theres also been strong speculation at times while he was here that Real Madrid and Juventus wanted him also although I don't know if true.

No bids were accepted, by City or Chelsea ,that was just his agent hyping our bid ( which he did very successfully). You may recall that Chelsea had let Johnson go deeming him not good enough at the highest level- they were right. Interest from Juve and Madrid was of the Sam Allardyce variety.

 

Over recent years our best players have been cherry-picked by the top clubs, while Johnson has remained, free ultimately to join Stoke. And that is about right.

 

Johnson is a fine footballer, but was never a fine defender, for anyone.

[LFC 6 Times]

Very good player on his day. His memory seems to be soured by external factors such as his association with other London clubs, his wage and his perceived poor attitude. His legacy reminds me of many of our players in the 90s, good players won't be recognised as such for factors outside their control.

[Dr. J]

 

It will not actually happen, of course. Not unless Agustí Benedito wins the election that is being held next Saturday. Benedito, a 51-year-old with a chain of car dealerships and experience from two previous elections, says he would rather sign Marco Verratti from Paris Saint-Germain and that if he is elected Turan will be sent back. The transfer was set up by the outgoing board and finalised by a theoretically independent temporary committee who added the clause to enable Benedito, or whoever wins, to do just that – at a cost of €3.4m to Barcelona, 10% of the fee.

 

Huh? Well, I guess that makes it ok.

According to Andy Hunter City and Chelsea did bid while GJ opted for LFC.The speculation about Real and Juventus might have been bs although they were looking for rbs at the time, the speculation was strong at the time but GJ didn't say a word about any speculation even though we were shite at the time and others big names were leaving.

 

For that reason he should be respected especially when we see cunts like Sterling disrespecting the club and saying he's flattered to be linked to other clubs publicly.

Forgot to mention his hair do.

My memory of the Chelsea interest was blurry, I stand corrected, but they dodged a bullet, didn't they?

 

We share a contempt for Sterling. You see Johnson as loyal, I see him as someone who earned way beyond their ability as a defender, and knew it. We all have our own opinions.

 

I always thought that he would be perfect playing for a German side in a 352- instead he has chosen Stoke it seems.
