Adam Johnson admits he may quit City???

[allan harper]

I wouldn't have Milner anywhere near our wing, he plays his best football down the middle. I didn't need 13 games to come to that conclusion either. Bobby and Adam should kiss and make up because right now we need Johnson.

Same age as nani and they're light years away from each other imo. Pace, power, affect on games goals all in nani's favour. (i'm not advocating buying nani has he's a rag cnut and i'd like to snap his jaw but just making a comparrison)

have some of you actually read the article properly? how is AJ being desperate to stick a blue shirt on a bad thing? i'd be more worried if he came out saying 'am i arsed about being sat on the bench am i fuck coz i'm earning shitloads of money and don't have to do fuck all'.......he even says it's early yet and if that time came where he wasn't playing week in week out then he would consider fucking off, let's face it who wouldn't....no player with ambition is happy to sit on a bench.

Exactly.

Yet another thread that proves most of our supporters have the intellectual capacity of a pea.

 

[gio's side step]

I don't rate Johnson at all. He's just a poor man's Stuart Downing

So you rate Milner more in terms of giving us attacking impetus from midfield?

 

[scenecreamer]

Milner is more productive

You have to laugh

Ha, yeah... but what really made me chuckle was-

It's a simple sentiment, Johnny. He's a superb talent and a player we badly need. It it no more complicated than that.

Pure comic genius.

You have to laugh at them DD. We've had them giving the same about Tevez before. "He can fuck off" and all this.

Mancini is right. Everyone on here wants us to be a top, top club. Unfortunately there are a few players who simply cannot play every week if we are to achieve this target.

Johnson is one of them.

@ Dave,

Of course every team in the league would want him in their squad. He can change games and he can make an impact from the bench. However, our attacking trio of Silva, Tevez and Balotelli are all better players. 4-4-2 isn't working well for us, because our options in the centre of the pitch really limit us to playing a 3. So that leaves a series of questions...

Do you feel we'd be a as solid with him in the side at the expense of either Yaya, Barry, De Jong or Milner? Maybe in some games, but against the top teams - no way.

Is Johnson good enough to change the system for? I don't think he is.

Do you believe Johnson would start for Chelsea, United or Arsenal? I don't.

Do you trust Johnson when we are playing a top side? Again, i don't i'm afraid.

He excites me, but for now Mancini is totally correct. He has to offer more than a couple of fancy runs. He needs to be assisting, he needs to be scoring and he needs to be helping the team.

It's a shame, because i like him, but i don't think there can be room for sentiment when we are expected to win every week.

Milner and tevez top the City assists table

Tne majority of AJ's interview was OK, but he should get his head down and fight for his place, and take his opportunity when it arises. His game has come on a lot while he has been at City, and if he helps us get 4th place he could be playing Champions League football.

At the moment with a full squad he would be on my bench.

Huge asset to have though for City, but his game can improve still further, particularly his movement off the ball. When he has it at his feet he's great. But sometimes I've noticed when our midfield has the ball he just stands still and doesn't make a run into space to receive the ball. Happened a few times against Birmingham.

Don't take this the wrong way, Johnny, but anyone who wants Johnson to leave the club has no knowledge of the game. It really is as simple as that.If you took the 18 managers of the premier league and asked them "Would you want Adam Johnson in your squad" you'd get 18 Yes's.
If you took the entire England squad and asked them "would you like Adam Johnson in your club you'd get 100% Yes.
If you took every football pundit and ex-player in the media and asked them "Are Manchester City better or worse with Adam Johnson in the squad" you'd get 100% Yes.It isn't a bold, brash, or contraversial statement. It's stating the bleeding obvious.

It's Johnson who allegedly is saying he wants to leave isn't it? I'm with your un-named 19th Premiership manager - if he's not happy and he doesn't think he can play his way into the team on merit - he should follow the can of worms he and his agent have opened and find another club. That's bleedin' obvious - you should know you've got a degree in it haven't you?

 

[SWP's back]

About a month ago on here there was a johnson v bale thread in which a lot of people preferred Johnson over Bale.

I didn't agree that he was but surely he hasn't done that much wrong for people to say sell him.

They are saying if we wants to go then he can
