We've made an enquiry according to the dude reporting outside the etihad. What does everyone think of him?

Get him, flog Cole or Downing (Preferably Cole).
Wait, we got rid of Bellamy, and still have Cole? Well fuck.
And allegedly are paying 25k of his 40k a week so he doesn't play for us
Can't sell cole when he's fit so what chance do we have when he's constantly injured!
By the way it was David Craig on sky who said it
Sign him up, he's a very good player now and will get better with long run in a team.
How does that work? Was it a free transfer?
He can score goals, which gives him a massive headstart on anyone else in our squad. Don't know how he'd fare with the pressing high up the pitch though. Bit lazy in his defensive work
You talking about Downing or Johnson?
GK doesn't rate Adam Johnson. Neither do I.
You don't rate Downing either.
Who does? Except Morons...
Johnson is way better than anything we have (although I am obviously reserving judgement on Assaidi). Quick, skillful, scores goals. His attitude is questionable but if we can get the best out of him then he could be a very useful pickup. Depending on the price, I'd definitely take a punt on him.
I'd have him before Downing who was rubbish on SAturday beyond belief.
Sounds like someone we'd definitely be interested in.
Fixed
Ha. He played well on the first game of the season last year.
Anyone that can take Downings place gets the tumb up from me.
But I am a tad sceptical to have another summer where we sign no-one of real quality, just a gang of people that might become good under the right circumstances. We need someone that go straight in and command the games.

That was the argument that people used for Downing last season.
Which is a little worrying
No, I believe the argument with Downing was simply, "he's better than anything we have", which I hate, because £20m on an incremental improvement is ridiculous. Johnson would represent a massive improvement on anything we have, and if managed correctly, could quite easily become one of the best wingers in the league. Plus I wouldn't expect him to cost anywhere near £20m, so dependent on how much we can bargain down the price, I think he's definitely a risk worth taking. What's more, given our relative lack of funds, it's precisely the sort of risk we need to take to try and close the gap on the teams above us.
