AJ's quite a strong physical player, injuries have taken their toll and the money being talked about is ridiculous... He's hardly prolific in comparison to our past targets like Yak & CMS

rather not have either of them as there rather injury prone, as cc_star said AJ isnt prolific compared to other targets.....rather go back for proven than someone who hasnt really cut it.

Someone who isn't a complete sicknote, perhaps? It'd be a complete waste of cash.

As said, he has this reputation of being a half decent marksmen, and it's stemmed from his time at Palace, when they were in the Premier League. The majority of those (at least half) were penalties, as myself and ttfn have already pointed out. Apart from that, bar a small purple patch at Everton just after he'd signed for them, he's been nothing short of wank. Like some kind of footballing con-artist he's managed to retain some kind of value despite doing very little of note for a long, long time. God knows how he managed to pull on an England shirt. Granted he scored a few for Palace in the Championship, but this division is so, so much stronger now than it was then.

He'll be on unjustifiable wages, too, it's a case of throwing away cash that could be used so much more effectively. Matt Derbyshire would be just as good and wouldn't cost half as much.

That alright?

no not really....

the same people who are wanting the Tunch to get a new contract dont want the likes of Josnson to get a new contract?

Johnson played 29 games last season too... hardly a complete sicknote.. Missed a few games early in the season but was ever present for most of it..

Never believe anything you read in the Daily Fail, I've had it up to here with that despicable paper.

Their football reporting however is usually reliable and is actually a good read.

Andy Johnson would score a hat full in this division, 40k a week is too much for us though and I don't think he'd join us over WBA anyway

I'm only hoping that the AJ story is a diversionary tactic aimed at both Bristol City and Maynard's agent in our negotiation process showing them we have other irons in the fire even if they're unconvincing ones... hopefully he signs for WBA and that's the end of it.

It's been over 5 years since he last scored regularly and most of them were penalties. Injury prone and those wages mentioned are ridiculous. Also as a 30 year old your not really going to be able to sell him for money either.

If this money is available I'd much prefer for it to be placed on Bristol City's table

well there certainly flexing there muscles if its true....his wages will be sky high and his lack of fitness would worry me.

Well they might as well burn money...

On his day, when fit Woodgate was obe of the best centre backs in the country, if not the best. Unfortunately for him is career ground to a halt with persistent injuries. Solve those and you have a gem of a player on your hands.

Not 100% if this qualifies as ITK as I'm not entirely sure if Woodgate is still at the club or not (rumours of a pay-as-you-play contract?), but anyway:

Woodgate was shown round the Amex Stadium today by Gus Poyet and Tony Bloom. I'm lucky enough to work about two minutes from the new stadium so I went and asked a couple of people who work there, and it seems like it's true.

Stoke are lining up central defender Jonathan Woodgate after he rejected a pay-as-you-play deal to re-sign with Tottenham.

If its not a pay as you play deal he wants, then I don't want him here anyway, doubt he'll start too many games, and will want big wages.
