Stable relationship , kids usually = better performances once you have a few seasons of experience.
Once Johnson finds this you will see more consistent performances from him.
I was the same until I settled down , you have more structure and reason in your life to do better.
Of course once the zing goes out of the marriage and the kids leave home well thats another matter (LOL) but Johno will be well retired by then.
As for his comments they are probably close to the mark but RM likes players who all well rounded in all facets of the game and only plays those that don't when he has to.
Don't get me wrong I was happy for Johno to stay and if he wanted to Mancini was happy to keep him but he would never play as many minutes as Yaya , Silva, etc etc.
Its better for his England ambitions for him to move on while he was young enough but he is limited so I don't expect him to set the world on fire at Sunderland either.
