It's a very positive sign that we have £18m to spend on Johnson. Hopefully.

I think that he'll be a good signing for us... Very decent player, and better suited to the big time now than when he first "made it".
Best of luck Glenn.

Good news. Decent player but 18mill is fucking silly money for him.
Lets hope the 7mill they owe us and a couple of player sales cover this.
[/quote]we could always sell him back in january for 12 million :-[

I would be very unhappy if he is our biggest signing this summer.
[/quote]
Wouldn't be that bad. This looks good enough for me. With Riera picking up a bit of form we may not need to break the bank to sign a left-winger. I said it last summer, but I'd like to see Nemeth or/and Pacheco promoted to the first-team squad this season.
Reina
Johnson Carragher/Agger/Skrtel Insua/Aurelio
Mascherano Alonso
Kuyt Gerrard Riera
Torres

Surely Arbeloa will definitely leave now. With his fee and the money owed for Crouch, thats Johnson paid more or less.
Now lets get an attacking midfielder and striker.
[/quote]
Indeed, I figure he is a £2.5M upgrade from Arbeloa (if Arby goes);
£10.5 Million (17.5M minus the £7M owed from the Crouch deal,
£8 Million from sale of Arbeloa (what every paper is quoting for the madrid deal)
It leaves almost rafa's full kitty to play with.

Hope there's no more silly speculation about us having to sell Mascher, Xabi or Fernando because we're broke and we need to pay RBS back.
I'm not that fussed about the reported £18m fee because if you really want a player, then you might as well be prepared to go for it. That's what big clubs do.
Strangely, I'm more fussed about the apparent 80k per week salary though... that's more than what Xabi gets and that doesn't seem right to me. I wonder if that is more than Mascher too.

Although I would be surprised if it was actually that high (prolly not a world away though), it does kind of make sense since he renogotiated his Portsmouth contract last year when the club seemed financially secure. He must have been on 50-60k a week there, you would expect a bit of a bump when moving to a top 4 club. Still I would have thought 70k a week would be plenty, hopefully it's close to that instead.

It isn't so much the figure I'm fussed about but more that Johnson could be earning more than Xabi and possibly Mascher.
Xabi and Mascher are two of the key members of our team and shouldn't be on less than Johnson, who still need to prove himself with us. Oh well, this is just idle speculation as we don't know what Johnson will be paid yet.

He certainly offer far more on the right than what Arbeloa does...
Johnson & Kuyt on the right... should be solid and cosistant combination, which will contribute its fair share of assists and goals

Who is/are going to be our other first team option(s) at RB then?

I remember reading that Xabi got 90k when he signed a new contract. I'm assuming that Masher is on something similar.
I don't think Johnson is on 80K anyways.
[/quote]
Oh right! That makes me feel better... that Gordon Brown thread said Xabi was on 65k per week.

Despite the fee, the Pompey fans seem pretty gutted.
Full of 'dipper' posts though so fuck 'em

Yeah, he's gonna fuck off somewhere far, far away from Liverpool and stay there.

[/quote]Agreed. He'll be nowhere near 80k. Probably about 40-50k

Dunno about that
Essien once put in a monster of a performance as a make-shift RB.

As for his wage, I read it here and a few other places, I think
"As well as the substantial wage, thought to be £80,000-a-week net of tax, Liverpool are also prepared to fork out £5m more for Johnson than the £12m valuation set by Portsmouth which they balked at last summer"
Could be total lies though
