Noone with a brain would sign for us.

[davulsukur]

For £2million i'd go for it, although like BPF says, who would want to join a sinking (sunken by jan) ship?

[Brfcrule1]

too many crocks on the books we don't need another should just bite the bullet and bid 10M for defoe

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

He's not for me, Kalinic would have been a better bet.

And when he rejects us?

Looks like this one isnt going to go away.

Talks of a £2m fee, 50k wages for a 30 year old.

Whats peoples views of the deal and also of him??

My view is that he would be our 2nd best striker, but at 50k a week, id look elsewhere as he has never been prolific in the prem, apart from 1 season with Palace.

[Mattyblue]

50k a week for Andy Johnson?

My god, relegation is going to hit us hard.

He is a goalscorer and he would be excellent back up for the Yak. Maybe both could play together if kean change tactics and formation.

[Rovers_Dan]

he is good at taking penaltys, thats about all.

[beastlove]

Good signing IMO. Proven at premiership level and has played wide left, right as well as central striker. Better than goodwillie and is good backup. I think Roberts will go to fund this move which is a shame.

[imy9]

Good player, key with this signing is that AJ is a premier league player and has experience of playing in this league.

He can start straight away which is what we need.

Two injury hit years but he is a goal scorer and can play a variety of positions, be interesting to see his assists as I always thought he created lots for others.

[Kelbo]

Johnson plays off his pace and movement, not the best finisher in the world and at 30 he is going to slow down some, without pace he will be innefective in my opinion!!

[Clitherover]

I think Roberts will go to fund this move which is a shame.

Is that a joke?

[Hughesy]

Goalscorer?

13 goals in 80 games for Fulham being his most recent record.....or 17 in 61 games at Everton!

Sorry but I dont think he will do much for us....much rather we tried to get a proper goalscorer.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Injury prone, 30 years old and on huge wages?

No thanks.

[dinglebasher]

I don't really understand why we're signing strikers on huge wages when all we keep hearing from Kean is that 'we always have a goal in us' and that our defence / defensive midfield capability is non-existent. Surely the priorities have to be full backs and a quality midfielder?

Surely he can't be contradicting himself?

[beastlove]

Is that a joke?

No Roberts isn't brilliant but does try hard and has experience of relegation battles. His experience would be useful in the dressing room and he is also a decent squad member. We only have him and the Yak with premiership experience

[pick32]

People writing him of already, probably the same people who said the Yak was to old and slow aswel.

Difference being the Yak had scored goals previously.

Andrew Johnson with the Yak can save our season!
