Love the bloke and been one hell of a player for us but now it's time to bench him or sell him.
He's been declining for the last couple seasons, could do with a big fat bid from Saudi for him.
I'd keep Johnson but if an offer of £40 mill plus for son came in I'd certainly entertain it if it meant we could get someone younger in who fits the system.
We've got to start being ruthless and offloading players once they are past their peak, just like what city do.
Happy to stick with ange, I'd pretty much written this season off anyway so where we are exceeds my expectations.
That said, levy needs to fully back him and if we get offers for players ange no longer wants then we need to shift them and not try and hold out for ridiculous bids.
We've still...
He's done a job when he's come in over the years but unfortunately we need more than that if we're to push on.
The fact that someone 2 years younger is ahead of him, and he's only 23 himself, isn't a good sign.
We've got to be far more ruthless when it comes to moving on players who don't...
Had high hopes for him when he joined but it just doesn't seem to be working.
If a stupid offer comes in for him during Jan then maybe let him go, if not, see how he does for the rest of the season and if still no improve look to move him on.
We can't be keeping players if they don't cut it...
Think Ange is doing a really good job so far all things considering. Levy just needs to open the checkbook in Jan and get 2 or 3 players in and then start planning for the summer.
