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.
Hmmm, the transfer market can be like the stock market - just because a stock price is currently low and trending downwards, doesn't mean the potential isn't there to make a killing, especially if the stock has rated highly before. Given he started in the EPL and is still fairly young - I'd say there is plenty of potential there (more so than Ifill), and I bet he is going to come cheap.
And unlike buying company stock, if Ricki made the risk he would play a huge part in bringing the best out of the player - something I think we can all agree that Ricki is actually pretty good at. Good signing if we get him I reckon.
