Forest have signed Ade G on a 3 yr deal.....surprised?

No change in Johnson's attitude is going to mask the fact that he isn't very good. Leaving aside the attitude problems, the booze and any rift his captaincy may (or may not) have caused in the dressing room;he's slow;has appaling positional sense (and his lack of speed means he can't make up for it);seeing him turn is like watching an artic' attempt a three point turn in Broad Street;he is the only professional(or amateur,come to think of it) sportsperson i've ever seen who's running style involves his heel connecting with the ground so clearly and heavily, first. It's like when a goalie, or a fly-half, heel a divot out of the turf to place the ball on for a kick.It's quite odd and obviously the polar opposite of how a sprint coach would tutor someone to run... on yer toes, son, on yer toes.And lest we forget the way players of the calibre of Long tore him a new one last season, long(soz!) before any 'rifts' or 'attitude problems'. In fact he was poor against Fulham in our second game-the win tended to mask the fact, though. Supposedly he was much sought after a year ago. Blues slapped a £12million price tag on him and waited for the offers to roll in...and waited...and waited some more... and then sold him to the club who had finished 4th bottom in the 10/11 season for £8million less than their opening price.One can only suspect the offers were more of a trickle than a flood!Mick took pains to point out that he'd signed his prefered CH from the Johnson/Dann partnership;he said so. In doing so he delivered one of his churlish, immature, snidey remarks,aimed at someone (Dann) who had turned down his previous advances. He's like the schoolboy who asks out the girl he's fancied for ages, gets rebuffed and then tells anybody that will listen that he didn't REALLY fancy her anyway... the slag!As an epitaph on Mick's Wolves career, I think the Johnson saga is perfect. The former CH that couldn't organise a defence, or identify(and then attract) players that could improve it.Just in case i've left you in any doubt as to my opinion on RJ, i'm still with Southbank60 on this;we signed a dud.

86lobo77- whether he's one of the best two CH's at Wolves is a different matter entirely. I was just pointing out that there was far more wrong with him last season than a few pints too many and a supposed bust-up in the dressing room. How he does or doesn't get on with his teammates, or how sober he is when he turns up for training, is something we can only hear rumours of.His form on the pitch is there for all of us to judge,though.The rumours, I couldn't really care less about at the best of times. The facts were that he demonstrably was giving it the big un to the rest of the team on the pitch, whilst turning in poor performances himself; no wonder the bloke that bought him dropped him.Making him captain was a disaster anyway, it would appear, but RJ compounded that himself by refusing to take responsibility for his own (many) mistakes.Hardly leadership material.It's only the performances on match-day that i'm interested in; the rest is for gossip mags as far as i'm concerned.It is one of the wonders of sport that when a player is doing the biz, the 'bad press' tends to disappear. As for giving him a chance if he plays, that goes without saying.I'm not sure i'm ever going to like him, all the same.I still hate the close season, I know that much!
