As you no doubt know there is a bit of speculation about us signing Adam Johnson from Middlesboro in january.
My father in law is a season ticket holder at Boro and has told me that they are talking about it up there as well and the guys he goes with seem to think that Johnson will definitely be leaving in January and they think he will come to Spurs.
They are pissed off as Johnson is very popular with the fans up there and a lot of them prefer him to Downing and would sooner the club sold Downing so that Johnson could get a regular place.
Just thought I would share.
Must admit I was a bit surprised that he was sent out on loan. I thought he'd already played well for Boro a few times.
I can remember when we were heavily linked with Downing (thank fuck we didn't buy him) that Boro fans opinion was that Johnson was the far better player of the two.
Can't say that I'm getting moist over this one but for the right money I won't be grumbling too much either.
Would also like to see Rose given a run out. Heard good things about him. Not seen anything for myself though, other than a couple of YT snippits.
