Pointless waste of resources. In terms of the fee yes, but curiously, with his energy and effort he could be a good back up given our new found hungry style of play.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I have absolutely no idea if Evans is any good or not. Reading fans don't seem to gutted he is leaving, is that sour grapes or is he just a bit ordinary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading fans don't seem to gutted he is leaving, is that sour grapes or is he just a bit ordinary? Most saying he showed promise but didn’t get a chance to prove it based on what I’ve seen. I’d suggest he’s looked ordinary for the most part when he’s had a chance, but he was a regular part of a midfield that finished third and played in a PO final which he did well in. Lampard has definitely gone off what he saw when he was at City and the promise he had. It’s a gamble, but for 350k and probably a low wage it won’t impact us too much even if he does turn out to be a poor signing. I’ll be honest, I’m more hopeful than expectant. I think he’ll be stuck in the u23s for the first month, with a Cup appearance, who knows after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem last year was a distinct lack of quality rather than energy - Other than Huddlestone and Lawrence we didn't have a lot (once Russell left) and we plummeted - Anya is lacking in quality - Might as well have Bennett and Thomas as backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I might be wrong but from what I’ve read he could play in any of the midfield 3 positions and CB which makes him a very good bench player at least to start with and if he improves may push the others for a starting spot to cover injuries etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifteen… and their upturn in form coincided with them shifting him out to the left-side to get him out of the way of the football… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Johnson was probably the only player who didn’t let his head drop when were pathetic against Sunderland at PP. its not his fault we payed way too much for him in terms of fee and wages. Having said all that I’m glad that FLs squad / team seems to have a shift towards footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see what he brings to the table and has done in a derby shirt what has Bradley Johnson done in a derby shirt in the last 3 seasons that suggests this year we won’t still see the same player that’s slow to get about the park and can’t pass reliably for toffee nick Blackman had a golden 3-4 month period for reading ... ur logic suggests we hang on to him too just incase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a very good end to the season after recovery from his back injury. Always has played in patches but some hate for the sake of hating and nothing can be done to change their minds. I think it’s called being ruthless mate i don’t hate him, as I said in my first post if u read it properly I said I can see what he can bring to the table as he did in the last couple of months of the season. I don’t blindly hate any player and try be as balanced as possible but playing well for two months of a season isn’t good enough, and last season sums up Bradley Johnson at derby when he first joined he dined out on that first 2 month period where he was excellent for us... but then went missing in action for a number of months His 3 years at derby in a nutshell can be described as wildly inconsistent which ironically is akin to his passing (that’s statement couldn’t be closer to the mark FYI) and incosntistent doesn’t get u promoted. end of story.
