Portsmouth executive chairman Peter Storrie has today confirmed to Sky Sports that they have received offers for Johnson and thats it's likely that he may leave soon:

Other news says that Johnson is now our top target, and that we have launched a bid in the region of £17m:

17m is a crazy price to pay for a right full

we need him. sign him up. 17m is a lot but unless anyone can see a cheaper alternative? we need some english players in the squad and i think he is the best right back around at the moment. BUY HIM!

im not convinced by johnson at all but we need a rb and i dont really see any decent alternatives around at the mo

Best right back last season. 17 million isn't much considering the money that is being thrown around at the moment. He'd be a good ADDITION. I would still want to keep Arbeloa.

i disagree with anyone who says johnson was the best right back last season - bacary sagna was better imo .... wonder if we could get him for that money???

Anyone who thinks 17 mill is a good price for an RB is crazy considering we spent 22 mill on the best striker in the world!!! Ridiculous price and for that sort of money I would stick with Arbeloa!

Think Arbeloa want out, pompey still owe us money for Crouch. The £15M or £17M would effectively be more like 10-12, most of our goals last season were worked down the right-hand side, with Dirk and Arbeloa's passing and movement. Johnson is a better crosser/attacking player than Arbeloa.

DO IT!

The only downside is he'll have to work on his positional and defensive play. Carra will give him an Arbeloa-like telling off otherwise!

20 Million is nuts. Let the Chavs waste their money.

If it's a £19M price tag, pompey still owe us 5 for Crouch, and we'll get 8 for Arbeloa, so it's really going to cost us £6M for Johnson. I like them numbers.
