Yep, sign the bloody contract Bren!
The problem is they will only sign with a release clause at around 8m.
No chance are we going to to that as we will get offers of 12m in Jan.
He definitely wants his cake and to eat it. I dont want to go in hard on the lad but bloody hell, what's he done to earn the right to dictate terms like that?
Looks like our best return will be to get an auction going in Janauary and sell him on 31st to the higest bidder.
The problem with selling him on 31 January is we have little or no time to react and secure adequate replacements.
If we sell Johnson on 31 January and Zinc returns to Watford we will be in trouble unless there is some quality already lined up.
We could have players lined up on the premise that if Johnson leaves they will come in but it begs the question as to how good they truly are if they are able to wait until that time and no one else comes in with a competitive/better offer.
