Johnson: 148 games over 7 seasons for several different clubs, producing 20 goals. He began in the EPL as an 18 year old and most recently played on loan at Stockport in League 2.

Career going in wrong direction for some time. Not to say he couldnt do ok for Phoenix, but certainly doesnt look like we'll be uncovering another Ifill.

If he is a winger, that goals record could be tolerable (it must be better than Bertos!), not if he is a striker.
Think you're being just a bit too sceptical - he's younger than Ifill, has a bit of pace, competent with both feet, and was apparently in the Top 10 for assists in League 1 this past season even though he hardly played for MK Dons in the last 3 months of the season (he plays out wide for them, not as a striker).
The info on him is that he's a bit inconsistent (1 cracking game for 2-3 poor ones), but in fairness that's similar to info we were getting about Ifill prior to the start of the last season. He's played at a higher level than any of our other players barring Ifill, and at his age, he's definitely worth a punt at this stage. Doubt he'd be overly expensive, and he could also end up profiting from a shorter season (like Ifill).
