AJ

[richards30]

I missed the days when AJ easily jinks and beats one, two even three men which makes most us love him so much.

What the hell happened AJ?

social life i think mate.

I disagree, he is a great lad if you see him with hart, micah and the rest he isn't miserable. I just think he isn't progressing and he is lacking a hell of a lot confidence in himself. I think he is an average player and will probably always be a mid-table decent team regular. He may prove me wrong though, he's only 22..23?

25 in July. In my opinion you don't see many wingers move up a class in ability after 25 or so, can't think of any examples of the top of my head. Happy to be proved wrong though if anyone can name any.

It's funny hearing non man city fans talk about AJ, 95% think he is class and is being treated unfairly at City with his lack of opportunities, Mancini being unfair blah blah blah. Personally I don't rate him and think he'll end up in the Stewart Downing pile of wingers that could have been the dogs bollocks at one time or another, but sadly didn't realise their potential.

I'd argue Ashley Young has got better over the last three years, and despite United trying to fool everybody he is another youngster, think he is 28 this year?

Johnson has talent, but it needs to be nurtured at a club where the expectation levels are not based on having to win every game, or competing for trophies.

I think Spurs will be just perfect.

I proposed this on the Bale thread a while ago.. AJ + Ade + Cash for Bale

I think quite a few proposed this deal a while ago...

But player swap deals are rare enough, I can't think of a single example involving two. This deal would rely on all three players wanting to move club, all three players wanting to play for the other club, all three players agreeing personal terms and wages, both Redknapp and Mancini actually wanting the players in question, let alone the deal being sanctioned by the respective clubs. Not to mention agent's fees, negotiations on how much cash changes hands.

It's a lot more complicated than AJ + Ade + Cash = Bale. While I'd love it to happen, it seems very unlikely.

Ouch!

How is that an Ouch? Tolmie makes a fair point, maybe Johnson just doesn't have the mentality for a team that should be winning trophies every season but apart from his poor attitute, to me his lack of pace and his tendancy to drift through games after a couple of flashy step overs and a few pointless shots in the first 5 minutes means I wouldn't consider him a good target for Spurs, even at a cut price. No idea what kind of wage he is on either.

He wouldn't get close to disloging Bale or Lennon so he would not come here to sit on the bench either.

Edit: Fair point on Young as well, but arguably it could be the players surrounding him improving in quality as opposed to him? But of course you could say he'd earnt that privelage by showing good form, it's an interesting one. But probably not for this thread.
