Something that has got me thinking about the Johnson sale after reading some comments. Was he actually fit to sell on the 30/6? Wasn’t he injured at the start of preseason with an ankle injury and unable to play and was in light training only? I think some suggested at the time it may be a ruse as we were expecting to sell him. If recall correctly he was only 50/50 for the first league game. Could it be that he wouldn’t have been able to pass a medical or clubs wouldn’t have signed him at that point? Yes I’m clutching at straws but maybe that is a further mitigating factor?

Would that not work against us if he was injured as we couldn't sell him therefore invalidating our claim we could've sold him?

There is nothing in the rules that says that you cannot sell an injured player.
