Roger Johnson

Understand R J has just bought a property in East Dorset.
Could he be our new C B?

 

Bloody hell I hope not - bad attitude won't fit in here

 

I hope not

 

Or... could it be that East Dorset is a highly lucrative place to invest in property?

Seriously though, do you have a source? Personally I hope we don't sign him, he has made a bit of a name for himself over the last season for all the wrong reasons.

 

Is he that bad an egg? I know there were some issues at Wolves, but I hadn't realised he was a bad egg all round.

 

I've not heard of attitude issues before? I know that loads of people were unhappy at Wolves so seems unfair if that's all people are judging him on, unless he did actually have attitude problems at Cardiff and Birmingham which I hadn't heard of.

 

that's what I thought.

 

Is it not possible he's just buying a house where he grew up? He went to school in Wimbourne

 

Same, I never heard of problems at Cardiff and Birmingham but he's certainly gone off the rails at Wolves. Fined for turning up for training drunk, had fights on the pitch with his teammates, and looked generally poorly motivated in games. Not the kind of player I'd welcome with open arms.

 

I'd probably turn up drunk if I had to work under Terry Connor.

 

Haha, well I probably wouldn't be too pleased if Saints signed you either

 

This could be right as property is in a good location near Poole

 

I hope not, Roger Johnson is no name for a footballer, its the name of a regional news reader or gardening expert.

 

And I suppose James Ward-Prowse is the perfect name for a footballer?

 

Exactly. Didn't everyone go off the rails at Wolves?

 

I posted last month that I had met a removal company owner at a business event who told me that he was shifting RJ down to New Forest as he was moving to Saints.
All gone quiet since though.
Spoke to a Wolves friend who confirmed he had a drink problem which started off whilst at Wolves due to problems with club and manager

 

Just shows how little TV I watch. Only found out a couple of months ago that South Today's Sports reporter Roger Johnson, famous for scoring the last ever goal at The Dell, pushed off to BBC Manchester to do the full regional presenting there, about September last year.

 

Bit of a Jonah isn't he? Left Birmingham when they were relegated to join Wolves who were subsequently relegated. Third time lucky?

 

This is my understanding too.
Maybe change of club and manager might change things--who knows?

 

Would be very presumptuous to buy a house here with the intention of living in it before a move gets completed. More likely a holiday home/investment.
