Supposedly, according to Sky Sports this guy is having a medical with you. Now having been a Leeds season ticket holder since before he joined us, I can tell you, he is NOT a Premiership player. He's barely even a Championship player. He is massively overrated. He does have good games. But those are probably once every 6 games? Every other game he fails to do the basic, he likes to hold onto the ball too long and have it stolen from his feet very easily, take shots at every opportunity and whack it. If you keep throwing a stone at a window eventually it will break, as you saw against Arsenal. He's got strength, yes, but that is all. His passing can often be off. I'm not worried about losing him at all, I'm just more irritated that people believe he is our loss, he is overrated and Ken Bates knows that. I just read in the match program that we get in the summer that in January we offered a player on £4k a new £7k contract, but he wanted £11k, nearly x3 his original contract. I think it was Johnson, very greedy.

this thread is total bow larks
johnson is the most under rated midfield in the championship, if he didn't have ability he wouldn't be playing for a premier league team
tightass bates wouldn't improve on his league one contract so he left, well done johnson, good luck to you and i hope you're a success with norwich
a quality midfielder with massive potential

He's started every game for Norwich, scored four goals and not been sent off since the start of the season.

He's that good he's on the bench tonight! Can't even get a game against MK Dons!

Sometimes, Eric you're not too bright!
Hardly any of this season's regulars started that game. Not surprising, is it?
As for Bradley, he's looked very good so far. Along with the keeper, he was our best player against Stoke.
Heaven forbid, your assessment of him could even be wrong!

Just for the hell of it, here's a fan's view of his performance against Chelsea ( I believe you were getting turned over by the worst Ipswich team in living memory at the time) :
Johnson 9/10 My MOTM. Tremendous, even out working Crofts and quite happy in possession and willing keep ball. Shame he couldn't get forward more as he would have been a real threat. I'm impressed and realise it was sour grapes from those who didn't rate him.
Says a lot, really.

I am pleased you found some solace in your defeat.

Solace unnecessary, as I feel we acquitted ourselves very well.
Leeds, on the other hand, losing to ....... Ipswich?
You let us down there, you really did!

We threw it so that there wasn't mass depression throughout East Anglia.
It's our version of care in the community.

Then it's very selective, for there was mass depression in the yellow areas of our region.
