KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Skrtel or Adam Johnson?

There have been a lot of talk of Man City being interested in Martin Skrtel and Liverpool being interested in Adam Johnson.

If the clubs were to do a straight swap who would be getting the better deal?

And which club would find it harder to replace the departing player?

adam johnson for me

Obviously Liverpool.

Man City have the funds to be who they want.

Swap him for Johnson and De Jong plus some cash.

AJ for me. Never gonna be a Downing as he starts on a higher level.

Better goal scoring ratio, younger, dual footed and actually has a strong mentality.

Watched him for years and he is quite rightly 'full of himself' in regards to his ability.

Basically, he has the right kind of arrogance to make it at a top club.

Skrtel has been great for two seasons...... when he plays alongside Agger. When the Dane isn;t there, I worry about Skrtel's form cos he just isn;t as effective.

Think he could be replaced relatiely cheaply but seeing as I don't think AJ would cost that much from Man City (10m say) then I think it is a fair deal.

Seeing as AJ would hopefully be going fo rthat price I'd snap him up anyway, keep Skrtel, sign Sigurdsson and ask the owners to splash some real money on a 'Top' up and coming striker that isn't too exposed to the Champs League who will realise that dream with us. Namely Llorente or better still, Falcao!

Flog dead wood like C. Adam/Spearing and keep one (But sell the other) out of Aqua/J. Cole and we could have a very decent squad and first team next season.

Reina

Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique

Lucas Gerrard

Sigurdsson
A. Johnson Suarez
Falcao


Subs/Reserves (Really pushing for starting 11:

Doni
Kelly
Robinson
Bellamy
Downing
Aqualani/Joe Cole
Carroll

Didn't format properly but that was meant to be Rodgers' 4-2-3-1 system!

Where's Suarez?

Left of the attacking three pronged attack!

A front three sytem. Suarez drifting in from the left like he used to do for Ajax!

Supported by AJ from the Right and the cntral spearhead of Falcao/Llorente!

Something about Johnson, just aren't sold on him. I think he has the potential though. I do think we are going to struggle to get the top players with th star names like the Kawagas and the Hazards for example.

That's why I think it's really important to go for players like the Luuk de Jong, Ricky van , Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Eljero Elia, Milos Krasic, Luciano Narsingh, Adam Johnson, Sigurdsson type players who aren't big players or names yet, but in the right environment could become great.

Doubting city will be in for Skrtel. Before last season I thought he was suspect and panicked everytime he grabbed hold of their striker in the area.

I'd take Johnson, though I wonder why's not played too often.

Hope we don't sell any first teamers, apart from Adam & Spearing and get a couple more off the wage bill. Sigurdsson would be a great swap for Adam and cost nothing. Wigan DM on a free, Johnson and spend big on a striker. Bosh.

So pretty much what that Bohey guy said.
