For what it's worth, this is also what I've read on Twatter... Agreed, we aren't going to spend that much on a LB and have him not start.. Jose will be his backup to start the season.
Hasn't everyone been saying 'get Moreno in' 'we need full backs' for the last month??? Now it looks like we're getting him and everyones moaning again!?!? No one is guaranteed to be in the starting 11, that is what has been our problem for years and years. Get a top squad together and whoever is performing best at the time plays.
I don't care what we pay, we need fullbacks! Moreno would be cheap at £25m, IMO. He's better than Shaw and cheaper, too. Manc's would probably say point out that Shaw is cheaper in the long run as he's younger, but Moreno is better and can improve. Shaw has potential, but only one good season under his belt, so far, and they need to see if he's still hungry, after a massive pay increase, and see how he copes with greater expectation at a bigger club. Regardless, we are more desperate for a full backs than United were, so I say let us shut up and cough up the dough!
That's bollocks. However, my view means Jack **** in the overall scheme of things. If Rodgers and the team deem him the right guy, then I'll put my thumb up
I was hoping that, if replaced for a few months, Johnson could re-charge his batteries and be a useful squad player; but his wages rather preclude that, don't they? Time to ship him off to QPR, sadly. Let's not forget though, that up until his injury against United last season he WAS a fantastic attacking full-back, one of the best in the league, and he was England's best defender in the Ukraine even though swathes of the media (TalkSponk especially) scapegoated him for every mistake the whole team made.
I wonder what would frustrate this fan more. Us not signing Reus or Us signing Reus but him not getting number 7 please log in to view this image
I agree he has been a decent player in the past, especially going forward, but all players reach a point in their career when they should move on. Johnson's was probably 18mths ago which is why he gets so much abuse now, as well as his apparent air of not giving a toss anymore with the very casual way he plays which usually results in us losing possession.
