Adam Johnson

[birchwoodgingerste]

Read thru this thread and no-one has the answer. Fact is - he's a 'homer' - only ever does anything at Eastlands. Think back since he's been at the club, all his best performances & most of his goals are in home games. Tommy Docherty (rag) once said he only judged players on their away performances before he signed them. A lot of sense in that if you think about it, says a lot about character. Maybe AJ is lacking some.

Total tripe!

People are taking the piss here, right? It's pre-season, no-one's looking good, at all.

Johnson's got the rare ability that not many of our other players have and that's skill to rip people inside out. He's still young and he'll learn.

Pre season maybe but this is a huge season for him, far too often he disappears, as said before unless he steps it up he wont be here much longer or will be just an impact player

Or maybe it's because it often feels like playing with 10 men when he is on the pitch. But there you go.

maybe but if so many have 'always' thought he was shite....why didn't any of you start a thread on it last season and not after 3 pre season training sessions?

his best goal was away from home. sunderland.

 

[Sigh]

He's "young"?

He's twenty-four! His biggest handicap - and there's NOTHING that can be done about it (no development, no time and patience) - is he is slooooow.

Less effective than Petrov.

Yet another example of why Marwood shouldn't be "suggesting" names to Mancini.

Had my doubts about Adam Johnson from day one. More for him not playing for a team like City than his actual ability. He's reasonable to come off the bench to run at tired defenders for a goal to wrap up the victory but he's never going to do that when we're securing 4th against Tottenham or looking to win the FA Cup.

I doubt Johnson feels happy to do the above for his career and will be looking for a move from January if he doesn't progress sufficiently.

Good point CP, there were no threads on AJ last season.
