There is no doubt initially when we had him he was part of the gang with Elano,Robinho and Berti.They were close at training and apparently off the pitch too for obvious reasons.He seems a fairly low key character and there is no evident player or players that he seems to have bonded closely with.As for whether they rate him I have no doubt I am too heavily biaised by my own thoughts so the ansdwer would be no.

I just think he is far too static and his touch isnt good enough for what we have.


I maintain we employ him as some sort of care in the community scheme, soon to be scrapped by the Coalition!

From that site, is it me or is johnno looking in good shape:

He does indeed, but fuck me, I really hate white football boots.[/quote]

Interesting to see that picture of Johnno as I could swear he wasnt there on Saturday[/quote]

To be fair..your not exactly at pitch side so its to be expected you wont see all.[/quote]

It's really not that hard from 20 or 30 yards and I can assure you he wasn't out there on Saturday.

The picture of Johnson was taken from a different dated gallery (24/9/2010), he wasn't out on Saturday (16/10/2010). :)

Motorbike or bicycle?

I was wondering the same at first, but I just can't imagine a disgustingly over-paid footballer riding his bicycle to work.

Ditto, but;

a) I thought when Cudicini had his accident that people brought up the fact a lot of footballers are forbidden from riding motorbikes.

b) it might be something to do with his tendonitis- keeping the knees moving, etc.

I'm pretty sure Doug said in an earlier post it was a bicycle.
