Adam Johnson

Status
Not open for further replies.
We had the funds to buy Adam Johnson. Of that I'm pretty sure. The problem was not scouting or finance, it was Rafa!

Rafa had a penchant for steering clear of creative players. Look at his track record.
 
I first mentioned Adam Johnson when we were being linked with Stewart Downing about 3 seasons ago and I mentioned that Downing wasn't as good as the kid he is keeping out of the team at Middlesbro. Back then we could probably have got him for £1m and I'd already seen enough (during his loan spell at Watford) to know that for £1m it would have been worth the risk.

He not only should have been picked for the world cup he should have started every match.
 
all said and done what we did or didn't do in the past is water under the bridge.

who is out there now that could be the next adam johnson?

I actually think we have the next great wingers in our reserves.

There's a kid at Dagenham & Redbridge called Danny Green who could play in the EPL but nobody has taken a chance on him yet! If you're reading this Roy, they have 2 Danny Greens at D&R make sure you get the No. 7.

The one I can't wait to see is the Crewe kid Nick Powell who has only played 30 minutes of league football so far (he is only 16). It seems as if Dario Gradi (crewe manager) is going to unleash him soon and according to some older Crewe fans who saw; a young Danny Murphy, a young Rob Jones, young David Platt etc, Powell is apparently the most exciting prospect they've ever seen!

I'm the opposite ILD, I rarely watch an EPL apart from Liverpool games. This would obviously change if we ever mount a serious challenge on the league.

I just don't seem to have any interest in it at all. I keep an eye on the championship or our players out on loan but it stops there.

Dont Boro have another shit hot youngster - Nathan Porrit or something. I think he was the subject of the tapping up TV show. Is he still there?

Pesam's scouting of lower leagues , Roopy's scouting of non-Serie A players, and KHL's scouting of non-Danish players are pretty much spot on.

Interesting. Our 'special relationship' with Crewe should give us the inside track on this kid.
