Johnson's so hot right now!
I get the impression that "doing a Gollum" will become the standard procedure for selling a player to us. They know they'll get more money.svennis pennis said:Very good news. Lets hope Strachan doesnt do a Gollum on us.
Sky Sports News understands Middlesbrough's Adam Johnson wants the chance to speak with Manchester City.
Reports on Thursday suggested the Blues had lodged an official bid for the former England U21 international, with Boro boss Gordon Strachan confirming that approaches for the winger had been received.
blah blah blah
However, the 22-year-old playmaker may take the decision out of Boro's hands by actively pursuing a switch.
It is understood he has requested an opportunity to speak with Premier League giants City, intrigued as to what the Blues have to say.
Should Johnson decide he wants out, City would have no problem meeting the financial demands of Boro.
thats exacly why were going for him, i wouldnt pay over the odds though for potential, he may look quality in a poor team and lower league, whether he can cut it with the elite is another matterMCC said:If he does sign he is not a Mancini signing for me. Must be Marwood taking a punt. Very worrying. Johnson is hardly world class but a decent player with potential.
