Manchester City are hoping they can sell Adam Johnson to Sunderland according to recent reports.

The 25-year old winger has fallen down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium and is expected to soon complete his £11million move to the Stadium of Light.

City boss Roberto Mancini has hinted that the England international will not stay in Manchester, especially if the reigning champions bring in Scott Sinclair from Swansea City.

As soon as the sinclair deal is done which looks very close, aj is ours by all accounts imo mate

 

I would love to see him here but I still think its a bit of an ask. I suppose it depends on how he looks at it.

 

I'm pretty confident, fee, terms and maybe even medical are complete, just waiting on sinclair it seems

 

wish it was 31st august tbh, sick of all this transfer malargy now like

 

Me too - can't get anything done for searching twitter, forums. newsnow, skysports. I need a life

 

Well ive got me new shirt
Didn,t know whether to get Johnson, Fletcher or ZAHA on the back

 

I'm on sinclair watch! Leave that one to me!

 

make a change from bird watching mate, and no i don't me the feathered type

 

Haha, i didnt get your post about restoring rep, is it because i'm on my phone? Your right though mags did me, couldnt expect anything else after that drunken thread i suppose, lmao though

 

just wait till your on your computer its easier, then look up the thread.

 

Will do marra ta

 

Is your confidence based on the media coverage we are all privy to , because to suggest that the fee and terms are complete is a pretty bold statement

 

The thing is, If you get Johnson, where does that leave Mclean?

Just thought I'd ask.

I see -

---------Saha---------

Johnson---Sess----Larsson

----Gardner--Catts------

 

When he gets a run of games he's a quality player and I think he'll do grand for you, so long as you get another striker to then put the ball in the net.

 

Tash - it would be a nice problem to have............

 

That's true, but the lad is at the sort of age where he needs games.

 

I sincerely beleive the fee and terms are agreed, its one of two things imo stopping the completion, either he is waiting for a better offer (which we have publically said we wont be beaten on) or we are waiting for sinclair? Just my opinion though

 

Off Twitter

“@sunechograeme: Don't mean to give folks sleepless night but I'm hearing Newcastle have approached Johnson for talks. Decent source. Hope they're wrong.”


“@sunechograeme: Won't print in Echo until I can get it firmed up. Source is rarely wrong. But hope this time that he is.#nailbiter!”

 

Johnson would be a fantastic signing for the toon, imagine our 4-3-3 with Ben Arfa on one wing, and Johnson on the other?

But we have more serious concerns. We need a center back and a fullback, we wont be spending much on wingers, and we wont break bank signing Johnson for 80k a week, so don't read much into it.
