Shit.

Two left.... I mean right legs. Can't shoot, head or pass. Slow as fook. Get rid.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

I really rate Johnson. He was killing us down the left flank when we played Middlesborough.

Delighted we've signed him. Think of all those years a top prospect has been whisked away from under our noses as soon as we've shown an interest, leaving us with the scraps. No longer. He plays in a position that has been Englands problem for at least 10 years now. First time I saw him I thought "first team football and he's England material" Downing goes, he gets games but boro drop out of the prem. A matter of time before he moved and I'm chuffed to bits it is us.

Will soon be showing Gareth Barry how to play on the left side of the park.

A very nice signing.

One of the most highly rated young English players around - glad we've got him and hope he isn't the new Buster Phillips.

Could be an absolute star. I know most Middelsbrough fans think he's better than Downing. That being said it's a big step from Championship to Premiership.

Be very interesting to watch his development in a bigger team with much bigger pressures.

Its good that we can rotate between him, Bellamy and Petrov to give him time to settle in for a few months. We've runined many young prospects down the years by putting pressure on them to be the best player in our squad.

Luckily he's already player in the Premier League and performed very well.

Aa far as i know he's ready to go straight into the squad for sat against Hull. Does anyone think Bellers may get to play as a front man now Johnson's able to take the left wing?
