I've always been a fan of Johnson's, even in spite of his obvious defensive deficiencies. In the past, I've always said that his attacking prowess made up for his defensive issues; but even just looking at this season, I think it's obvious that he is no longer the player he once was.
I think it would be wise to cash in on him while we still can, he isn't getting any younger, but like others have said, I think it would be stupid to sell him before a replacement is lined up. I agree that Flanagan is coming on leaps and bounds under BR and although I am a fan of Kelly, his injury record does not stand up to scrutiny.
As some others have said, I think Clyne would be perfect, but I also fear that the "British premium" will show itself and we will end up paying over the odds.
