I remember when he was at Norwich, Not sure who they played i've an incling it could have been Ipswich, Johnson goes on a storming run from midfield and smashes the ball in the net from the 18 yard line, That one goal and his end of season form doubled his price imo ?♂️ jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets a lot of bad press but on the whole he wasn't the worst signing we've ever made by a long way. Yes he had games were whatever he tried just didn't come off but he never hid in games. He always showed the grit and determination that we need in our current predicament. I admire that quality in him to always put his head above the parapet. Quietly did a lot of work for local charity too apparently. Will always be welcome back at Pride Park for me.

Yeah, it was "the deal" rather than"the player" that was deserving of the criticism. Making a club record signing "because you heard he could be available" without any further consideration after panicking over 2 injuries to Hughes and Bryson. I liked Brad, he had some certain qualities that are good in the championship. One of my odd observations was I thought he was a case of reading and understanding that game quite well despite his limited skill (when the championship is full of players with good skills but zero football brain). jono, Kathcairns, r_wilcockson and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that has been clear as day is that Quantama love dragging it out! They have been nothing short of a farce! They could have informed Mel of the complication with Gibson before January, and we may have been able to keep hold of Plange, Jags, and Shinnie. Actually Q and Mel had to wait until the EFL got of the fence about the spurious Gibson claims. As soon as they did, Mel stepped in.

My post was very tongue in cheek. He wasn't a world beater, but if he had been signed for a better price (which wasn't his fault) he would have been much better appreciated. Many have said since he left that he is the type of player that we need now. Steve How Hard? and jono 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was immense in our unbeaten run under Mac2 and his return was vital under Lampard, having wrongly been hung out to dry. I would have kept him, if the wages were vastly reduced!

He was upbeat about new signings coming in, but since he was told that wasn't happening things have changed. I get impression Rooney is sick to the back teeth of constantly being fed lie after lie. Perhaps he knows but doesn’t like Mike Ashley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was the Derby way, he was bought without any grasp as to how he needed to be played and the rest, as they say, is history. Has to be said that there were very few dissenting voices at the time!
