I noticed the post you refer to:
News on the mystery loan midfielder as disclosed by Adam Pearson on Humberside: Micheal Johnson Man City sat in West stand where Bullard used to sit! Walkington Tiger, Walkington
I didn't hear Adam's interview, so I've no idea what he said, but I got the impression from Nigel's interview after the game that there was another player we were looking at. There was talk of him going Leeds or Leicester, but with Weeds now having signed Bannan, I can't see them being in the running.
He'd be a brilliant addition, not only is exactly the sort of player we need, but it will really piss off the white ****e(he's a Leeds fan).
These are the words of Brian Kidd from a couple of weeks ago:
“The last two weeks, Michael has come on in leaps and bounds. He’s done really well. I think the next couple of weeks will be interesting. I was at the reserve game against Bury a couple of weeks ago, and he was terrific.
“He’s looking really good in training now. He’s getting his feet again, and his aerobic base is there now.
“What he’s looking for is the quickness, and he’ll get that from playing games. If you go into a game not thinking about the problems you’ve had, it’s a different scenario and you can get that quickness back.
“He’s done really well, and that’s pleasing, because Michael’s had a tough time.”
The Tigers ought to be renamed 'The Borrowers'!!!!

Well didn't you bring Bannan in instead. Possibly he wants to come to a top half championship club knowing he'd get game time and get himself fit again? Seems rather straightforward to me.
Bates has publicly stated that we are still looking for more loanees to bring in, and we are fairly thin in central midfield (one injury to Kilkenny and one more yellow card for B Johnson and we'd be ****ed), so M Johnson could still come yet. There's also the fact that Villa can recall Bannan within 28 days, so Johnson would still be a good cover option even if he's not fully match fit.
You've just said it yourself, good cover option, with us he will get games!!

Any chance you can delete the thoughts of knobs from TWS, or at least add some caviat/cautionary note to warn readers that the thoughts of the writer may reflect ****philiac behaviour

What injury has he had? It seems years since i heard anything about him?
