Glen Johnson to Real Madrid????

[RobbieOR]

Even in his prime, what does he add?

 

A couple of assists and goals per season, is that really worthy of a £40m price tag for a 'creative' midfielder.

 

Xabi is a great asset for European and away games, but for most games he's not needed. Plus the fact that he needs a more defensive minded midfielder next to him to make him effective, even though he's not the most attacking centre mid himself, I don't think he would be worth £40m + Johnson.

 

If we were going to spend £40m + Johnson on someone it would have to be a player like Sneijder, Ozil or Gourcuff for me, not Alonso.

 

I'm not saying they would want to join us either, I'm just saying Alonso isn't worth that much money!

 

Maybe you have a point. Its probobly just heart over head syndrome.

He is wildly inconsistent and I think it's clear that we can do better, particularly defensively. If we get a good enough offer for him (circa £10 million) I would take it. But then I would get rid of quite a lot of our current squad to be fair. Babel, Lucas, Poulsen, Konchesky, Jones, Kuyt, Jovanovic and possibly a few others.

[Guest LFD]

I still think he could be brilliant on the wing.

 

He's not a defender, his strengths are going forward.

[Josef Svejk]

Never rated him. Bog standard defender, overrated attacker.

[Lubeh]

Apparently there is a swap deal for Juan Mata for Babel and cash tbh I would not say no!

 

Liverpool target Juan Mata - Liverpool FC

 

true or not who knows ! (apparently was on Spanish radio) 10m + Babel

[Monster Masch]

I can't see it happening. I would welcome it though if we replaced him with somebody quality. Not too many quality right backs out there though.

 

Lahm

Maicon

Alves

Ramos

Sagna

Ivanovic

 

I like the look of Onouha at Sunderland, on loan from City. Plenty of potential there.

[Lubeh]

Tbh I would rather have Kelly at RB than Johnson atm ..maybe move Johnson up to RM (yeah I know Controversial) but I feel he would offer more from there than he is actually offering now.. not only that Kelly would get games!

What a team, what a night, what a hangover.

[Mojo]

This is either a conspiracy to fool us into thinking he is worth keeping, when all opponents know that he is a liability to exploit....or maybe they have nothing better to write about. Of course, Roy is hardly going to drop an English right-back, after getting us an English left-back instead of a superior, younger and cheaper Mexican one...

Be lucky to wake up from that little lot ;)

Johnson? Straight trade with Ramos! That lad should be playing CB IMO

 

Also why are we perpetually liked with that shit SWP? He's crap

I actually always liked Ramos when he played in DM.

 

Never a truer word said about SWP. He'd be another waste of space who couldn't trap a bag of cement.

I agree with all those names listed, and it is quite scary three of them were brought in by Roy alone.

That would be the stupidest move by Valencia....

 

Ever!

 

I would be doing cartwheels if that happened.

Four of those seven signed this summer. We're a bit shit now aren't we.:|

[Joso]

There is nothing wrong with an attacking RB but for it to work you need a balanced midfield. Barcelona usually bomb the fullbacks forward but it works because the midfield is so tight that they are ready for counterattacks. Spain does it too, Ramos bombs up field and they have strong center backs and a solid mid should they loose possession. We need a true controlling CM to replace the irreplaceable Xabi. Should we fix this and Johnson attacking a bit will be nice to see.

Shows what direction we're going in that Roy has brought in 4 of those bog standard players.......Help!!

It's a rubbish site but the Daily Mail had the Johnson stroy so there may be something in that.

 

The Daily Mail - The home of honest, accurate, non-biased reporting.

 

I've seen a few people on here big up the Mail. Since when did that fucking rag become any type of authority on anything? It's the 'broadsheet' version of the S*n, and owned by the same sychophantic twats as well.

 

Come on chaps, improve the calibre of your daily digest.

[Guest LFD]

I think he is very good going forward.

 

Defensively he has struggled this season though.

[shaunstrudwick]

Cicinho? Seriously? The problem most have with Johnson is that he's a bit rubbish defensively(not helped by our appalling CB's), well, Cicinho is no better in that regard, worse actually.

 

I'd keep Glen. Instead I'd sign a couple of pacy, athletic CB's that can cope on their own.

 

this ^

 

Carra is shot and Skrtel is a liability

[Tyler Durden]

ive been banging on about how crap johnson is for ages now everybody sees it, hold your heads in shame you fuckers.

 

You must just be like boss or something

In my defence mate i read it on B.B.C teletext never brought the Daily Mail in my life ;)

[Frankenhooker]

£10m and Arbeloa. I miss Arbeloa.

[George Costanza]

He's playing well for England tonight.

 

I accept he might not be the best of defenders (& i usually like my defenders to defend 1st & attack 2nd) but with the right manager & team attitude he could still be a top quality signing imo.
