Was'nt there talk of him joining Sunderland a while back. Could be why Richardson is now avialable.

Johnson is a sunderland fan, so if they joined the race it would be game over for us.

it does make sense them touting richardson round in that case, allied that with the fact he supports them and he probably would not have to move house means we are struggling with this one.

even big wages would noy mean a jot, lets move on

I just wonder if Bruce will be given money in this window. He spent a hell of a lot in the summer and his team are not exactly setting the world alight. He did the same thing at Blues and G&S refused him money in his last season. Perhaps he needed to sell Richardson before he can buy. feed.back

Im all for Mcleish going for players with the whole 'I want to prove a point' outook, if they are actually good players who are gonna take us forward, but I do hope we dont buy a group of players not wanted by their club and bring them all to our club, because that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen when some players may fail to find motivation...

I would love Adam Johnson, but would be really down-spirited if the Richardson rumours are actually true...

If I wanted a manager that filled the squad with complete wasters who are only worth anything because they're English, (Like Fabian Delph) then I would go and support the knuckle-draggers

I think they said they offered 6 million pounds or thereabouts

Johnson is holding out for a bigger club methinks

Whether it could be BCFC remains to be seen.......Alex at least sells the club and it's ambitions very well

:applause:

I think offering £6m for him now is a bit mad to be honest.

He is out of contract in the summer after all, and could be had for nothing then. £3m or £4m maybe, but £6m+ ? Im actually not to sure.

Player exchange aswell could be an option, give them a couple of established Championship players to help them out, McSheffrey/Carsley/Tiny/DJ etc?

IMO, Adam Johnson is waiting for his contract to run out. So he can then join a so called big club who are apparently after him. If not then he is still waiting for his contract to run out so he can get a bigger wage without a transfer fee.

I think something that would really benefit our club is McLeish and the owners drawing up their plan for the club, such as transfer targets, money to spend, success on and off the field etc.

We've heard that's how Man City started bringing in top players ... by showing their plans for the club and the other top names they'd be bringing in. One of the major reason Barry was supposed to have been sold by was that they had wrapped up a deal for Tevez to join also.

Let's take our financial proposal to Johnson, along with the aforementioned "business plan" and if he rejects us in favour of a "bigger club" it shows he's potentially a bit deluded and is happy to do a Sidwell/SWP and let his career stagnate at a top 4 club.

Let's match Wolves bid (which I'm guessing was accepted) and see what he has to say. If you don't pick up the phone you'll never know.

As exciting as the likes of Babel may be, I'd be over the moon if we picked up Adam Johnson and Victor Moses from the Championship (younger, and potentially better versions of Young and Downing anyone?!)

I would prefer them too. I dont know much about moses but I'll trust what i read, see etc. By all counts aj is class.

Theyre both young and hungry.

They dont seem to have the attitude that babel seems to have.

Agreed as with Boyd when linked with him (now injuried) McLeish may just wait untill another club makes a move as he knows if no move is made for him with just a few days of the window left and then only sides in bottom 6-8 bid for him we could Hijack their bids.

Indeed we could also offer players in exhange, i cant see why we have not made a £5M plus Phillips offer as i think Boro would bite at that. I am thinking McLeish has not given up on landing McGeady yet and could be looking to bid upto £10M just playing hardball at the moment and hence £8M offer.
