WeAllHateUnited said:What do I think he's worth? Difficult question. Ability-wise, £22m is fair. He's an excellent player that would improve most sides. But he's 27 and has a bad injury record, so I could see reason for City not wanting to pay more than say £18m. I gather that Lescott was a similar age when you signed him, but had played far more consistently. I rate Lescott highly, and think he and Agger (while different in style) are very comparable ability-wise, and would challenge each other for a starting berth.

Only thing I'd say is that Lescott had 4/5 years to go on his contract, Agger only has 2. So for me anything over £18m is too much as he is effectively going to be worth nothing in 2 years time.

£22million is a bit high but if what the article says, that Liverpool would be interested in Johnson, that could help the deal as they're sure to overrate Johnson's value.

We'll have to disagree about AJ. I wouldn't swap him for any wide player in the Premiership with exception of maybe Bale or Hazard.FantasyIreland said:Marvin said:We'd be mad to sell AJLoveCity said:http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/aug/06/manchester-city-daniel-agger-liverpool?newsfeed=true

Disagree,it would make good sense.A fee worth approx 12m? 80/90k a week off the wage bill for the next 5 years with the opportunity to bring in someone with a better attitude and more consistency.
