Adam Johnson

[herrock]

When he arrived i thought he was the new colin bell, but he never quite delivered consistently enough. The clips on the city website show what quality he does have though, good luck to the lad.

u ever saw sinclair beat a man?

Yes.

you ever actually seen Sinclair???

Telegraph:

Sunderland cannot afford to cover Johnson’s £80,000-a-week wages, but the player was willing to take a pay cut of about £30,000 a week as long as he was compensated with a lump sum from City to do so.

Not again! Can we stop paying these fringe players so much, I hope we don't bring Sinclair in on wages like that.

Here we go again

You have to worry when a 25 year old professional footballer isnt fit enough to play ninety minutes - AJ always looked knackered after 20.

Michael Johnson was the new Colin Bell
Adam Johnson was the new Sumerbee.

15 million. thank you sunderland and good luck AJ. sinclair isnt the answer though. just a sideways step

If he signs then at least give the lad a chance to show what he can or cannot.
We`ve given Johnson too long and he`s still not good enough for our starting eleven.

fair enough. we should go for pablo hernandez isntead though imo

We need home grown players for the squads though which is why we are after Sinclair, and bought Rodwell. Why is this concept so difficult ?

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Well and truely fucked off with letting him go. i just do not get it at all. fuckin sinclair is not the answer. we will struggle to change a game when struggling now

We struggled when he was here mate, how many games did he change for us ?

He changed a few games for us Newcastle and Blackburn off top of my head also got a late equaliser at Sunderland.

You really can't expect him to spend the rest of his career with us playing 20min cameos.
Sinclair is young and hungry and will go flat out to impress,which is sadly not something AJ is about anymore.

Oh ffs!

 

[pudge]

You look at United getting Kagawa for £14million and Dortmund getting Reus for £12million and you have to think, why can't we get a player of this quality for a fee like that with the money we've received from Johnson's departure.

Because when City come a-callin' the fee goes up drastically.

 

[Del_Bosque]

You get a loyalty bonus anyway when you leave, other repsorts stated they are matching his wages an he'll be their highest ever paid player, they had Bent on big money?

 

[thingz]

Adam Johnson - £10 mil, Moses - £9 mil :)

IMO Moses > AJ

Good job, Marwood.
Bring Sinclair and a good CB and all will be good.

 

[SWP's back]

We've made a profit on a player we actually bought, a decent one, this should be enough for a celebration in itself.

Not if you happen to think the player is a quality one. I'm gutted.

I'm not as he wasn't quality. If he was, he'd be starting. I am thrilled.

I think some are confusing him with Trevor.

 

[alexnash13]

I'm glad he's gone. He had the potential to be amazing, he just thought he was already their. Lazy, always went to parties, always complained when he wasn't picked and only had 3 games that i can remember when he actually did something this season. He'll be great for a team like Sunderland, he's that kind of player. But not at a big club. Does anyone know how much we got for him ? Sky sports are saying undisclosed.

He's from St Helens. I wouldn't be surprised if its Trevor Nelson he's confused with.

still think we are in need of winger/cm

 

[avoidconfusion]

Great now we have no winger at all. This transfer window has been utter shambles so far. Why don't we sell Dzeko to Juve for 15m as well while we are at it without replacing him.

I understand that the majority don't rate him, that's fair enough. I'm amongst the minority that thinks he's a quality player, which is why I'm gutted with this news.

The guy hardly played for us why are you gutted?

So you've said. But you shouldn't be. Give Sinclair a chance.
