Top Story Johnson tops Sunderland wanted list 01:00 PM 28 March, 2012 Adam Johnson is Sunderland Football Clubâs top summer want. The 24-year-old has been at Manchester City since February 2010, but he has been unable to cement a regular place in their starting eleven. Although Johnson has featured in 22 of the Blues 30 Premier League matches this season, 12 of these have come when called off the substitute bench. Martin OâNeill is prepared to offer around £12million for the winger, who was born in Sunderland and grew up as a Black Cats supporter. Now your talking MON thats the type of signing we all want and need hope this one comes off
Hell of a player but is left midfield our priority. If we only have a finite amount of money think it would be spent better on other areas. Strikers or a lack of them is what has really hurt us this season.
The newcastle supporter thing is a load of bollocks. My brother in law was in his class at school and says its bollocks!
It's not mate, he was interviewed before they played the Toon, and said himself on TV that he grew up a Toon fan.
Ha. I'd heard from stacks of people he es Sunderland, so I remember it clearly, was very surprised to hear he wasnt!
And he played for Boro... One of those weird families who 'support North East football' maybe? Anyway, cracking player.
