I think TFT was actually referring to the likes of Johnson and Hargreaves, who've barely managed a single appearance between them for years.
correct olm. kasper spent a large part of last season injured as well. Nugent has had his moments @ Pompey.
Johnson has been playing since December with no problems? League Appearances 2010-2011 - 0 League Appearances 2009-2010 - 1 League Appearances 2008-2009 - 3 Nothing to worry about there then.
He has for the reserves. But lets be honest, reserve games are nowhere near as demanding as proper games.
He's been playing for Man city reserves. Whether he can play league games like we know he can remains to be seen
He will be target for sure. Like OH will be if he signs with Sven. By the time we play you half your squad will be in the treatment room.
We've just signed another midfielder in Gelson Fernandes Yet another player who could waltz into your squad.
Johnson spent the end of 2007 and early 2008 out of the team with an abdominal injury during which time he would have a double-hernia operation, returning on 29 February 2008, playing the full 90 minutes in City's goal-less home draw with Wigan. Johnson finished the season with three goals. Johnson started the 2008–09 season in good form, linking well with players such as Stephen Ireland and Elano in the first few games of the season, however after this, Johnson failed to feature for nearly a year due to a recurrence of his abdominal injury after City's League Cup defeat to Brighton & Albion Hove on 24 September 2008. He would not return for nearly seven months when he played for the reserve team in April, but Johnson would not feature for the first team until the following pre-season. Johnson made his return to action in City's pre-season match against South African team Orlando Pirates during the Vodacom Challenge, but a strain picked up in the warm-up for the next game set him back. Johnson made his first appearance of the 2009–10 season on 28 September 2009 in a 3–1 victory over West Ham United, coming on as a sub for Gareth Barry. On 28 October, Johnson scored his first goal in over a year in a League Cup tie against Scunthorpe United. On 10 December, Manchester City announced that Johnson had suffered a serious knee injury in training which kept him out of action until the end of the season. He does look a little injury prone...
