Well at least you tried.
Some won't let the topic subject get in the way of a good argument.
I think prior to Johnson going to Citeh, a LOT of people on here were saying that we should be signing him and were pissed off that he was heading elsewhere. Now that he's been almost frozen out at Citeh, opinions have changed to, "He's inconsistent... he can't get a game... he's no better than Downing... we don't need him.. etc etc".
Well as others have said in the Sahin and Kaka threads, class is permanent. I would have been delighted if we'd signed Johnson before he went to them so I'm of the same opinion now. Of course, it can be argued that we have more pressing needs (striker) but when a player of his quality becomes available, we shouldn't stand by and let another club snap him up just because we're not desparate for him in this window.
