I'm not so sure. If Johnson is not getting a new contract he may start preparing for life after Johnson.
I'm backing Johnson to have a good season... he needs to so he can get an extension to his massive contract. Once he has that he can go back to being **** again.
Telegraph is reporting that Assaidi is off for 4.5m raising to 7m with add ons etc. Good business if that works out.
Thing about Johnson is he could get a big contract else where once his LFC one runs down even if has a **** season. Clubs like QPR and West Ham would be happy to snap him up and pay him a big fat wage.
A few people suggesting we are in for Alexandre Lacazette! looks like he has decent touch but imo his shooting lets him down. another one for the future maybe? http://www.express.co.uk/sport/foot...acazette-as-Bony-and-Lukaku-deals-fall-silent
he's rated highly... who knows a lot of guys are rated highly. its a matter of work ethic, power, pace, touch and then well clamness. if he's up to it great. suarez after all shot often and early and fired a lot wide.
More quotes from Brod today talking about increasing our attacking options. One more attacker, a goal scorer, is required. I reckon it's Bony. After that I really want to see us focus on defence and holding midfield. I think the targets have been identified for defence and much talked about......but it's the latter that I am concerned that we're totally overlooking. If last season taught us anything, it should be that we can't be gung-ho all of the time.....or if we are, we need better defensive midfield cover. Sign Masch or someone of his ilk and I'd be quite content that we will continue to outscore our competition. We'd have the personnel to play in Brod's preferred attacking formations as well as to be more defensive when required and play a 4-2-3-1. I honestly believe that if we'd been able to do that last year, we'd be sitting here champions right now. God knows we have the pace in the team to play on the counter.... Come on Brod, surprise us all!!
