yeh he's doing allright i think he's an ok player what's wring with him? just cos he plays for Palace... plenty of good players start off at little clubs Ian Wright started at Crystal Palace didnt he? He joined Arsenal is their reciord goal scorer although not for much longer.

yeh morientes started off well at Albacete and Real Zaragoza, and earned a big money move to real madrid marcus bent started off well at ipswich but his career went backwards and earned up at leicster and everton.johnson career started badly hardly getting a chance at birmingham missed the penalty against us and got sold to palace when birmigham reached the premier league.johnson picked himself up from bein rejected by birmingham to be top scorer in the old first divsion and to bein mentioned with gettin an international call up by poland or england.

p.s why dnt clubs buy players from lower divsion e.g kevin keegan scunthorpe???

I love the way that people are pouring scorn over Johnson - he's clearly a very good player who has managed to convert a fantastic scoring record in the first division to a pretty impressive scoring record in the prem. That's rare enough in this day and age to warrant a closer look.

His touch, composure and finishing looks very good to me, and - while people are well within the rights to hold up the "flash in the pan" card to him - I've seen enough to suggest that he's currently doing well because he's genuine quality as opposed to him finding a freakish run of form. He particularly impressed me after he'd scored against Birmingham by not going OTT celebrating, as all too often you see former players incensing their old supporters with ridiculously overblown theatrics. That's the kind of thing that people remember, and if there's one thing that people underestimate in the game these days, it's a hard-working honest pro that makes friends and influences others by their actions on the field. It's also good to see a promoted team scoring goals, as all too often they bounce up and down without making much of an impression on the Premiership.

Johnson wouldn't be my first choice, but if LFC go in for him, you'll hear no complaints from me.

Incidentally, it's very interesting to hear us linked with Ibrahimovic. Can't see it happening, but potentially a very exciting signing.

Ibrahimovic would suit the prem very well imo. He's a big lad and isn't afraid to throw his weight around but also quite skillful and likes to get into the box, somebody mentioned on another thread about how we need a poacher for the "tap-ins"

Wonder what pricetag for a permanent move?

by **A.B.** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 8:40 pm

Propably double what Juve payed for him. Loan is more likely than a pernament signing as Benitez isn't keen on spending a lot of money on one player.

by **Woollyback** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 8:51 pm

Incidentally what did Juve pay?

by **A.B.** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 9:00 pm

I think 20-25 million euro. Not sure.
