    No way??!!!

    Was he not the next big thing at Man City a few years ago? Looks like he has hit the pies something rotten since then, if that is indeed him.

    Correct. I had to look at the photo a few times when my friend showed me it, total waste of his talent.

    Apparently still on 25k a week at City. Pretty shocking to be in that nick even if he has had a load of injuries.

    He was released earlier today and was on £40,000 a week.

    Boy has done well for himself. Probably earned about a million pound to spend on bevy, bookies, kebabs and fish suppers.

    He can use East Mains as a fat camp and pay us for the privilege, maybe £1000 a week seeing as how he was making 40 times that for being a fat sloth.

    Injuries have taken their toll on Johnson. Great player who had a lot of potential but always on the treatment table.

    Blimey. You wouldn't think for one second that is actually him if you saw him on the street.

    So was he just on the payroll at City but never training? How the hell did he keep a wage like that for so long while, well, growing like that?

    I'm fairly sure he was a 2005-07 Hearts rumour as well...

    two years of injury's took the determination out of him and he got in with the wrong type of crowd. If someone can get him right, they have one hell of a player.

    Would not mind trying to get him up here and away from manchester. Giving paddy and proper professionals like clancy, mcpake and big ben a shot of straightening him out, might be a damaged gem we can fix.

    The cliche you're reaching for here is 'the boy is a rough diamond, he just needs a bit of polishing'.

    Eh? Have you seen the nick of him? Nae chance!

    You can understand him having a frustrating time through injuries, but there's no way he should be getting into that sort of state as a professional athlete.

    If he was looking for an inspiration of coming back from long term injury, he should look no further than Jack Wilshere. A fellow Englishman who had the world at his feet as a youngster, and was then crippled by injury. Think he was out for the game for about 18 months? He kept in shape, got fit and looks every bit the player he was before his injury hell.
