I live in a delusional world red, sorry mate. Please don't misunderstand me about Anelka. He is a disloyal ponce, no argument. Benitez likes team players, no argument. The cynic in me however says that despite everything, Benitez's shrewd football mind will tell him that if he can unlock the complexities of the Frenchmans bonce he will have a true world-class performer on the cheap. The double cynic in me is not entirely convinced that Anelka's current mood-swing is not a direct result of his head been turned by a contact from another club, maybe us. Let's face it, if we were going to sign him, his antics have probably saved us a couple of million sofar.
On the question of Johnson, I get the picture. You rate the guy. Nothing wrong with that plenty of people do. FWIW I think he looks quite good right now and at the right price i wouldn't be averse to taking a punt (FFS, I'm the guy who rates Robert Earnshaw. I'm all for taking a punt on a guy who's not Columbian and who knows what a Sherbert Dab is) but it has to be at the right price. 2 or 3 million yes, 10 million no. Delusional? maybe. But if andy Johnson is worth more than Fernando Morientes then the world has truly gone mad.
