Guest black Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 For right back I still think Hatem Trabelsi could be a good option. Fitness would be a problem, but he's certainly a class or two above Johnson when fit (maybe even injured ).. Would be on a free and would probably accept a largely 'pay as you play' type of contract. The same Hatem Trabelsi that did nothing at citeh last season and was released from his pay as he plays deal with them? No thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Looked bright early on (which wasnt so early after they finally got him fit). Dont remember what happened after that. Did look good when I saw him play. Unfortunately that wasnt very often. Faye and Beye looks likely.. with Diarra and Johnson as backup when they fall through.

He played very well for them if I remember correctly, but maybe Mr Spectrum can comment on that as he's seen more of him (recently) than most of us. He was pushed out of his favoured right back spot by Micah Richards, which isn't exactly a disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Some people are talking about Johnson as if its a done deal, have I missed something? I didn't know we had even confirmed we are in for him! It wasn't too long ago there was a thread choosing our strongest team and people were including Belletti. Probably haven't even made a bid for Johnson. Well, I fucking hope not anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pie Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Johnson would be a funny one. He has all the attributes of a top class footballer except concentration. He seems to have had a reputation for the good life too. We've been there before somewhere? Maybe Sam can get the best out of him but it would be a risk. Still better than Carr and attacking wise he would do us some good. Plus he's tall for a full back (5'11) by our standards. At 23 he should have pushed on a bit more though. If he's available then I would get him as a short term risky signing rather than piss about with what we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and seeing he was already on a pay as you play deal, you have to question why they would release him if he was any good, it's not as if he was sucking up wages.

Low risk and potential to be a very good signing. It's not two years ago Arsenal had him wrapped up before the deal fell through for personal reasons (probably wage-related, but he's now a begger so can't be a chooser).

Low risk and potential to be a very good signing. It's not two years ago Arsenal had him wrapped up before the deal fell through for personal reasons (probably wage-related, but he's now a begger so can't be a chooser). Firstly, his move to Arsenal fell through because he failed his medical if I remember correctly it wasn't a wage issue, we were linked with him at the same time only for him to reject us for Arsenal and then miss out all together. Thing is, if he was good enough there is no doubt citeh would have kept him as cover, as I said it's not as if he was going to cost them as he was on a pay as you play - if you want a comparison look at the fact they offered Michael Ball a new contract replacing his pay as you play deal. We've had our time where citeh's rejects are good enough for us and thank god that time has now past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
