Good price if true. Me personnel not to bothered about this. Doesn’t do enough for me in the big games when given the chance. Flat track bully IMO

[Lee_R]

The amount we pay for players I'm very surprised hes going for less than 20.. pretty gutted hes going atall tbh.

[zuricity]

yep, Liverpool could possibly attain mid table obscurity next season !

[Mase]

Not fit enough, not enough determination, not enough concentration, no will to learn...
I'd let him go for £17.5 million!

[Nigels Tackle]

wonder if we can get downing in return?

[bluebananamilksheikh]

How much would they want in addition to Johnson in Part Ex?
He's just what we need, a pacey 2 footed winger with an eye for goal.

in the england squad as well...

[Goataldo]

Step down. Lacks ambition if true, and a reflection of much of the play we've seen him exhibit, that draws negative comments from blues, many of whom are desperate to be proved wrong.

Sort your shit out Johnson. I'd like to see him stay and improve, but if that's his attitude, then he's something of an idiot.

Hope not.

[Beefymcfc]

Plus add ons.

Surely?

[ashton287]

Bothered.

He joined the long list we have entitled "waste of wages" this season.

Free up his wages, a profit made and its not like he is going to punish us when we play Liverpool but he could take points off the likes of chelsea and the sum who will most likely be challenging us this season.

Bloody Hell Ashton, nice one! Did you have to say that!? You know what's gonna happen now.

I can't believe he wants away with AJ, I like him. Not quite as much as Robinho, or snow, but I like him.

Yeah me too, he's a potential match-winner. Proven you maight say, given that he's won us some matches on occasion.

[Buffalo Soldier]

The same Liverpool who paid £35m for Carroll, £20m for Henderson and £20m for Downing?

Using that as the barometer I'd tell them to get fucked.

We shouldn't be selling him in any case unless he's pushing for a move himself. He offers something different to what's in the squad at the moment and some of his goals/assists over the course of the season have been crucial, he's vastly underrated by some on here.

I don't think we have seen the best of him yet either, if he can find some consistency then he could be a key player for us in the coming years.

[Lev Bronstein]

Maybe if he thought he was going to get a game every week he'd look after himself better.

Having just watched the end of season DVD, he came on and scored some great goals. There's a lot of talent in the lad but I worry about his commitment to his craft.

[Wonderwall]

If this comes true I will be sad to see him go. AJ is a player who gets backsides off seats and is a quality player. I know there are loads of stories but I would prefer Mancini to get into his head and make him the player he has the potential to be.

Liverpool will gain a very good player and I would prefer him to stay with us.

What I cannot understand is how Mancini has not improved him as a player? Don't get me wrong, he's come on loads but only the same way as he's played before. He's great at what he does, cutting in, but he needs to get that right foot going.

Saying that, I seen him cross a beauty in with his right this season. So shocked it's ingrained on my memory.

[Beeks]

To be fair this would be a brilliant signing for scouse1 and a great move for him..he will be a shoe in every week

Good luck to the lad
