Newcastle United bid for City star Johnson

 

Feb 2 2009 by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle

 

NEWCASTLE UNITED have made a deadline day bid to sign Michael Johnson from Manchester City.

 

The Chronicle understands that the Magpies have offered<b> a fee between £6-8million</b> for the England Under-21 midfielder.

 

 

Surely he would have been included in the Shay Given deal no?

 

Actually saying that if they're valuing him at £6-8 million then he's worth just as much as the most consistent Premiership keeper of the last 10 years..............

Man city had to sign Given yesterday to qualify him for UEFA Cup, so any swap would have had to have been put to one side as such deals take longer to complete.

<b>It gets messy with swaps that is why they are rarely done clubs prefer to negotiate one deal at a time</b>

 

 

Yeah imagine that our own board trying <b>not</b> to do everything possible to get that deal to go through.  :lol:

 

They have been totally and utterly weak regards getting the best possible deal for our most consistent performer and one of the best in his position in our league of the last 10 years.

JOE Kinnear is hoping to tie up a transfer deadline day deal for left-back Daniel Fox.

Newcastle United were today understood to be in talks with the 22-year-old's club, Coventry City.

 

The former England Under-21 international, who started his career at Everton, joined Coventry a year ago from Walsall, and is rated in the £1m-bracket.

 

Fox played under Newcastle's Academy director Richard Money during his three years at the Bescott Stadium.

 

Kinnear was also hoping to rubber-stamp right-back Ryan Taylor's move from Wigan Athletic, with the deal hinging on Charles N'Zogbia's move the other way.

 

Meanwhile, Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson was again linked with a switch to United.

City are taking the piss a bit if you ask me. Johnson's barely played a game so far this season and with that and his drinking problem £8 mill's a pretty generous offer. Not to mention they've just signed De Jong and will probably buy 7 more £10mill+ midfielders in the summer. FFS  :angry:

Well if it's a case of us mentioning after the Shay deal about Johnson then what a right set of fucking idiots we have at our club.

 

Not sure on Johnson, is he even fit yet?
