Arskite 75 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 From what I can see Non of those saying Johnson is a strange buy panic buy crap buy not good enough have seen him play more than a couple of times the vast majority haven't seen him once or am I wrong Who's been saying any of that about Johnson? You really need to read back :) I've been following the thread pretty closely - the overriding sentiment for me seems to be quite reasonable. Lots of positive noises from Oxford fans about his ability, looks better than League 1 but the jury will be out for him in the Championship. Not coming in as a first team starter so I don't really see how anyone could consider him a panic buy. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 According to Bailey and Dean Jones from the bleacher report Boro and Fulham are fuming with Brentford after being quoted more for Jota than Brum. I asked Bailey if he was Adamas replacement he said no, we wanted him aswell. So, at this point I'd expect a competent club with a competent transfer team to go back in with the now cheaper offer and still try to get their target. Bet we don't...

ManBearPig 1,853 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Harry Redknapp, king of the wheeler dealers. In saying that, I'm glad he's gone to Birmingham rather than a promotion candidate. Link to post Share on other sites
HullBoro 5 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Jota to move to Birmingham, that just does not make sense, I mean, why would he? As for commuting between Brum and London, trust me, (as someone who did it twice a week for a period of time), it is hell on wheels! There are no sounds coming out of WBA as to a late bid for Gibson. That's assuming he lives in London. If he lives outside the M25 his commuting time could have barely changed, he could live as far out as Oxford. Doesn't the train get into Euston in no time Without starting a debate on the shortcomings of Virgin trains, try standing up for an hour and a quarter in a sardine can being buffeted about, and then play football, it just does not make sense. If Brum are the limit of his ambitions then so be it. I'm sure Brum can afford to book him a seat. Link to post Share on other sites
