KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Michael Johnson formerly of Manchester City...

Everyone remember him? He's been released from City finally. Very sad to see his demise over the last few years. I remember we were heavily linked with a move for him a number of times.

He's almost unrecognisable.

What the F.... That can't be him...

Wow he's really gone downhill, a shame to because he looked a real talent.

I know, I thought it was a joke at first too! But nope, it's him alright.

Yep I thought so too... Just another prime example of the affects all these imports have on young english talent.

What's the rule these days? 5 players which are British in match day squads? If so that needs to be improved on..

Johnson looked really good before the Sheiks came in

Feel sad for the fella.

Should be at least 9 players in the 18 man squad who are homegrown or U21 internationals imo would make the national team better as the way its currently going the national team will be non-existent in a decade or so.

He's turned into.....

The resemblance is uncanny LOL

For me it's what happens when you chuck money at young players and don't make them work got it. I don't think his injury helped as I'm sure I read he was getting pussed a lot while he was off.

Totally agree. Although I'd like a minimum of 2 under 21's in matchday squads plus 3 over 21's..

Never going to happen... Blatter likes the Sheiks in the EPL and couldn't care about the English National Team / Talent suffering as a consequence.
