To be fair not many sides would pay that sort of money. Not many could even if they wanted to. Nobody else will be in for him at that price so why go in with a silly bid over £15m? If they want rid of him offer them £7m on transfer deadline day or take him on a season long loan like Spurs did with Adebayor. This is the business sside of the game. It would free up the funds for other targets.


Until Manure, Spurs or someone else signs him and does well, then we'd be left eating hubble pie like we did in so many occasions by not going for players who would enhance our team performance.

He shouldn't cost anywhere near 16m. 10-12m tops. City brought him for 6m

And how much did we pay for average players (respectively) last season. At least Johnson has proved himself the few of times he got of the bench. Admit it or not, he is a class player.

Johnson tore Liverpool apart I think year before last when we lost the first game. I don't think he is the LFC type. Don't get me wrong he is talented but he might be a moaner and it seems he has off the field problems.

I still think he would be perfect for LFC, but i guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

yep but unlike many players Johnson has a bit of a reputation for liking the 'pop' a little too much and has fell foul of disciplinery action from City all season. Why do you think he has drifted so far away from the first team and even the England squad. Great player but head is not right.

Fair point, but thats what comes out of City fans I know.

Also Balotelli is in the international side of Italy whereas Johnson did not even make standby in a very average English side.
Something is not right for a talented player to be linked to Sunderland and not the best sides.
