  1. Instead of fannying on with Wigan over Nzogbia, why not make an approach for a better winger? Adam Johnson?

    I know some of you want to prioritize strikers right now, but i think instead of just signing a load of French/unproven talent, we should sign a quality attacking mid that has proven himself a great player in the PL.

    Man Citeh will no doubt be spending huge again, and Johnson was hardly their first choice last season.

    We could offer him first team football. I know he's probably on 80k a week at Man City, but if he would agree a pay cut to say 55k/60k a week, would you take him?

    He should prove what's more important to him, playing or his pay check. I'd take him for 12m, maybe 14m.


    --------Sturridge-------

    Johnson-Cabaye-Ben Arfa

    ----Tiote----Barton----

    That's a good line up.

    Thoughts?

    He's very skillfull but i couldn't see Citeh selling him, it also would depend on the wages to, no doubt he's on a ridiculous amount there.

    I like the thought of Johnson and Ben Arfa in the same team - very creative and pacy, Tiote and Barton would have to be very disciplined in that line-up to protect the back 4 as I can't really see either winger tracking back.

    He played 20+ games last season I think. Plus he was getting played more regularly as the season went on. If there was any chance of it though (which there isn't :() then obviously. And he's a Toon fan (kinda)

    I'd rather have The Zog - better player but worse attitude - can't see the love for A Johnson, he scored one spectacular goal and he is worshipped as the 'future of England'

    Footage of him playin spectacularly inte prem might cause some change in mindset

    Why do you always say Ben Arfa isnt a winger then all your formation porn features him there, with Cabaye where he will actually play?

    As for Johnson, he'd be near the top of my wanted list if I felt we needed another winger, but its far from priority right now.
