Spurs interested in Man City's Michael Johnson By Steve Wilson Michael Johnson is to become the centre of an intense battle for his signature this summer after Tottenham became the last club to express an interest the Manchester City midfielder Despite already having lavished £16 million on Croatia international Luka Modric from Dynamo Zagreb, Juande Ramos has identified the need for at least one other central player to bolster his squad and has made inquiries about the England Under-21 player.

jamiemaher85 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I do like Johnson, reminds of Osman a little bit, I would have him here, but £8m? And with those other clubs sniffing around him i can't see it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 One paper says we've opened talks with City. I'd love to bring him here and I'd be extremely happy if it came off. I won't hold my breath though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 i would too, it would make my week. we need a few players and he's fits one of the holes exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue4Ever Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) he reminds me of Osman a bit, id rather us sign Fernandes if were willing to spend a bit on a midfielder. Edited May 30, 2008 by Blue4Ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilG Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Why do we keep trying to buy ex acadamy players, its madness but I do hope we get Micheal. He makes strong surging runs from midfield. Clever too I would love to see him at Goodison next season, fingers firmly crossed on this one.

aaron Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 he is the next steven gerrard imo. But why do we realese all our youngsters then re-sign them??? lol Would be brilliant if this came off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J*A*C*K*E*L*Z Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Jesus I dont know what to make of this tbh im getting tired of this allready. All of our tranfer targets seem to be either seem to be super high profile signings like Jo & Joaquin or has-been piles of crap like taylor & Carr non in the middle bar M.Bradley IF somehow we did pull this of for 8million was it? would probly be the biggest signing that moyes has made since being at everton to land him in that competition Doubt manny will be coming and id rather have him over anyone we have been linked with so far and im gutted he wont be with us next year but I trust in moyes to do the right thing he come good last year and prooved us all wrong so....

Finn balor Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I would love Johnson and for £8 million is a bargain. I really can't see it happening though as the big four will all be looking aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In demand: Johnson has received attention from Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham I wouldn't be quite so downbeat about our chances, Everton are going places and have some excellent players. We've signed big names like Yakubu and I personally think we are becoming a very attractive proposition for players. Johnson must know he won't get in the team ahead of Gerrard or Mascherano, Arsenal are linked with virtually everyone and Tottenham are still nowhere near as good as us imo, plus we're only down the road. I think - if Moyes IS interested - this could become a real possibility. How about a bit of optimism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Carl.. I agree what you say about the other clubs, but was thinking more of the wage structure being our downfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J*A*C*K*E*L*Z Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Carl.. I agree what you say about the other clubs, but was thinking more of the wage structure being our downfall. due to the madness going on there with sven, Johnson is still currently on his first contract at 12,000 pounds a week and has n been staling on a new contract yet due to sven & the owner ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I just think any of those other clubs would offer him more money than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scouse Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Lets hope he wants first teamfooty at a team progressing well as apposed to the money and a place in either a shite team or on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J*A*C*K*E*L*Z Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I just think any of those other clubs would offer him more money than us. agree 100% on that note but that is allways the way with everton not being able to pay the wadges on the upside he is on 12,000 so for E.g if we put him on 40,000 a week he may find that enough of a rise to play for us for at the time being Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil S Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hopefully he will follow AJ and the Yak. When AJ sign Wigan offered him more. And with the Yak, Man City and Pompey were sniffing round and could have offered more money but he wanted to play for a proper team. lets hope this come off. he would be top class for us.

Everton_Worshiper Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Would be good but don't see it happening, if rumours of big players heading to City are true i.e. Ronaldihno... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsmith69 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 when i was back home on the wirral 2 weekends back my mates (who are not in the know) where all talking about this saying its virtually a done deal. Was the first i had heard of it. Would love him here, get him and huddlestone please moyes lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Would be good but don't see it happening, if rumours of big players heading to City are true i.e. Ronaldihno... Wouldn't that make it more likely to happen though? Ronaldinho will be a guaranteed starter due to his price and wage, and the wage will further piss Johnson off as he wants to be a higher earner.

Johnsy Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Would love him here, get him and huddlestone please moyes lad Yep, agree with that totally, add a quality wide man like Turan or Joaquin to those two and I think we'd be looking pretty good for next season. Someone has mentioned this before, but why do we keep having to buy back young players we've previously released?! If we do sign Johnson for £8 mill, that'll be £17 million on ex-acadamy players in the last year (Jags and Baines). Whoever decides which youth players are released needs a severe talking to!!
