    I have heard from several footy fans, and i personally believe, that Man City are planning another massive spending spree this summer.

    If Adam Johnson is put on the transfer list, would you take him?

    Would you pay 12-15 mil for him?

    He's better than any winger/AM mid we have already, or atleast, he's more premier league proven than Ben Arfa is anyway.

    He's a quality player, and i also think that if we really want to push forward with ambition and buy better players, we need to raise the wage cap.

    I don't think we should get rid of it all together, but perhaps lifting it to 65-70k a week?

    I more than anyone don't want to see ******s like Owen on 110k a week like it used to be at our club, but i think a club pushing for Europa league should have a bigger wage cap than 50k a week. It's unrealistic to think we can get a team full of top quality players that will all agree to play for 50k or less.

    Adam Johnson, if he doesn't get directly put up for sale, he'll probably not get first team spot often next season, because he still doesn't make the starting team too often as it is.

    He was a toon fan as a youngun and wanted to join us at a young age but we turned him away, perhaps we could respark the Toon in him? I know he still would have a bit of love for us.

    Of course I would!

    Although would rather we pay big money for a few proper strikers than use a large chunk of it on Johnson.

    I think you are mate, we're never going to get any world class strikers.

    I just want a couple that will score 10-12 goals a season <ok> Prolific goal scorers.

    You learn something new everyday. If we signed him, he'd need cleaning then
