most players play better when they are playing for a new contract or hopping a new club will buy them, but not Johnson he's gone the other way looks like he couldn't give a rats ass.

What would you expect when the club you're playing for has actively been trying to lower your wages for over a year now?

Perform as though you're worth the big money? Earn a contract extension or a transfer for equal money?

Perform even better and earn a pay rise like Suarez did?

I mean, that's pretty much it though isn't it?

Got a feeling he'll be off on the cheap / Bozzy.
When players start acting in a certain way, the money has become more important than earning a damn good living playing sport. I wouldn't be surprised to see him cash in playing for Liverpool to maintain his wages at a lower club level. Each to their own smile

Would it not be better to cash in on Johnson rather than have him performing poorly?

We cashed in on Suarez???

You're having a laugh aren't you laugh
That move was all about Suarez wanting what was best for Suarez (can't blame hum either) That had absolutely nothing to do with FSG or LFC "cashing in".

Get off the grass laugh

Yeah I'd have sold Johnson two seasons ago. However the point I was trying to make was that trying to get an employee to lower their wages is not conducive to increasing their motivation or their performance levels. (Maslow, et. Al.)
