So you are happy to have someone on the wage bill who hasn't played in years and is showing no signs of returning to playing? On top of going out and getting bladdered whilst he should be in recovery and doing everything possible to get back to fitness.
This is my point of a youth product and someone else. Santa Cruz is even nicknamed Crocky on here which surely his injuries aren't his fault either?
When was the last 'sightings' of this lad going out on the town?! This board used to be filled to the brim with threads about it, now nothing. Its just an easy get out for people who don't want him.
I never said Rocky should be blamed for his injuries, but i could see why other (I don't agree with them, that he should get the stick as it wasn't his fault) would be annoyed, as he was bought, knowing he was injured, costing a massively inflated price and massive wages.
Johnson has been plagued by two serious, yet unrelated injuries. If i was him, any tweak twinge or pull, i would shit myself and rest it. Maybe slightly paranoid, but with his history, understandable. Maybe this is the reason for his delayed return.
I'm not happy about some one being injured, no. But to slag him off for being injured, is just down right wrong. He's a young lad who can't play and i bet he's gutted.

How is being injured his fault you dick.
People go on about the lad having a drink, but this had nothing to do with his injuries.
People want players to be loyal, but why should they be, when fans like yourself show no loyalty to them when they are on hard times.
He doesn't like being injured and I bet he would love to be playing.
Who said being injured was his fault?
No one, but to slag the lad for getting paid is a bit harsh. If you got injured at work, should you be looked on with disdain?
And before you say it, yes it is different, as i be M.Johnson actually wants to go to work, where as the rest have to, so he will be more gutted about the situation.

it always surprises me that contracts dont contain a clause saying if you fuck up you get fuck all.
'Fuck up'?!
What do you mean by this, as it seems a very broad term?
