I am clutching at straws here but the fact he had never been in better physical shape during the Euros according to the physical tests made by the Danish National team coaches could perhaps indicate that he's getting less prone to injuries as well?
Combined with the fact he has grown wiser and started to take better care of himself we can at least hope he's leaving the injuries behind him for good.

Yeah and he can take that YNWA tattoo with him alright...
Maybe he's got a Cape Fear thing going, with 'YAWA' on the other hand. Anyway, it's been largely down to the efforts of the sports science people that at long last he's sorted his back problems out, which would make it even more infuriating if some other team gets the benefit of his improved fitness.

It's the latest weapon in contract negotiations. He'll go all Robert De Niro on them if he doesn't get a pay raise.
Regardless of what happens with Agger, I want Adam Johnson on the cheap. I think he's quality.
He needs consistent games, a manager that trusts him, and some confidence. I know he's not flavor if the month here, but I reckon given the right circumstances he could be quality.
Take him in a heartbeat.

I don't agree with the idea of selling Agger if he doesn't want to go (not least because I don't want him to go either) BUT, if it's true that he's stalling on signing a new contract two years away from the end of his current one, that should ring warning bells. We didn't think McMoneyman or Owen were leaving two years from the end of their contracts either. The club are as entitled to certainty from him as he is from them.

Wouldn't mind him too but only on the cheap. They have no room for anymore at Citeh and if they want us to take his wages of their books we should only offer an insignificant transfer fee.
Otherwise, no.
Otherwise, no.
I havent always been his biggest fan but when he plays at city he does cause problems. I think if the deal is right (away from any potential agger transfer) then we could benefit a lot from him coming here.
I can't understand the people who don't want him, he was being quote in the £10million region at the beginning of the season, thats an absolute steal.
If Adam Johnson is so good why is Downing ahead of him in the national team?
Do you see something in him that Hodgson, Mancini and even Capello failed to see?
If we sign Johnson we'll IMO be getting another overrated British signing like Downing, Henderson, Carroll and Adam.
Ideally he should have the same role he has at City, back up.
I'd rather play Sterling or Suso.

Theyre not ready to start in the premier league any more than you are Modo and you know it. We need someone to come in and at provide quality which Johnson can. As I said I'm not his biggest fan but at least I can see he'd definitely improve us in that area.
Only if he actually performs, and on recent evidence that's a pretty big "if". I think he's got the talent, and he'd be worth a go as a makeweight in a wider deal, but I'd take some convincing to spend any real money on him.
He'll just get it lasered off and replaced with Blue on the nuckles of one hand and moon on the other.
I saw a lot of City last season and the season before that and I'm not really that impressed.
He's got some raw talent, we can all agree on that but it's his decision making that bothers me and his productivity (creating space for others). Sure he can dribble but what separates him from top wingers in the game is that he habitually chooses to take players on when he shouldn't. He doesn't track back and challenge without the ball. He's also selfish and mouths of at his team mates.
We should be looking to sign someone like Younes Belhanda at Montpellier.
I know, but they'll benefit from it and to me Johnson isn't more than a back up.
I suppose thats where we'll differ so. They'll benefit more from being introduced when theyre ready imo. But I do agree with Ryans point and that with consistent games and a manager that trusts him he could become a viable option for us!
That's a pretty shit, naive view Modo. You could also point to it being the reason England are so shit.
Adam Johnson wouldn't have made them any better IMO and I don't think signing him would significantly improve us either.
Lol lol - downing is never started for england.
Oh I've heard the "no manager wants him" reason used in another topic. Can't remember the name though.
And now you write like a *cough*.
Thats why he is on the bench - like you say he wont track back and cover and given that in br system there is a lot of Team work needed is is advisable to have a lone wolf in the team.
My only complaint with him is that his name makes me think Younice Bellendhandler.
