Yeah Johnson price is pretty steep, but with Chelsea and City around we had to pay what they were paying, plus he's English so there is a price increase just for that. People talk about how Pompey still owe us for Crouch so it is really that much, but there is no logic behind that.
I thought Arbeloa was pretty good at right back got forward, delivered nice crosses and generally looked sound at the back. He did make a few mistakes, but from what I've seen from Johnson he's much more error prone.
