[GBBQ]

This is the same sam "no point staying at united sat on the bench" Johnson we are on about right

fair enough, i was only responding to your comment on international aspirations. Also his mindset may well have changed since 2018, especially since DDG no longer has the role sewn up.

The question is why would he wanna be a backup when he can play first team football else where

For the same reason Sergio Romero did?

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Can no longer support this.

 

[charlenefan]

Going to West Ham apparently (according to Twitter ITK's)

How is he with his distribution and ball playing? I remember him being linked with a us a couple of months ago and since DDG and Deano aren't up to scratch, maybe we can take a punt on this guy?

hes decent but overall hes not better than De Gea. However, For me, the smart bit of squad management would be to sell deano for a good fee and bring in Johnstone as no.2 for free. Gives us money to spend elsewhere on the pitch without depleting the squad

He's not coming back to United to sit on the bench at his age. He's also not good enough to be number one here

we don't need to sign a back up keeper at all. If Henderson leaves we still have Heaton and can promote one of our outstanding youth keepers to third choice

Yep. With Pickford potentially getting relegated the England spot might still be up for grabs, why would you jeopardize that by going to United if you had any ambition?

 

[Remember the geese]

We need two keepers. Henderson should be allowed to leave, as he isn't good enough to be first choice. We also need to replace De Gea for the same reason.

 

[Strats]

Get Ben Foster back so we can he can film around Carrington for his YouTube channel

Might confirm Shaw stuffing himself with pies on team meals

 

[Berbaclass]

With the recent news about Fraser Foster going to Spurs, who Johnston was supposed to be going to. I wonder if he’ll be coming back once we’ve moved Henderson on.

 

[golden_blunder]

I’m not sure, he’s 28. Will he want to be backup here? Or is there a sense of unfinished business at United and under a progressive new manager it may be the case that he thinks they all start as equals?

 

[Floyd]

Is Johnstone a "modern" keeper then?

 

[Acole9]

If Henderson goes I reckon there's a good chance of him coming here.

 

[charlenefan]

Was he out of contract as West Brom announced he's been released

I'd 100% get him on a free as number 2

I agree. Not sure SJ would want to be a number 2.

 

[devilish]

Will he be competing with Heaton as no 2? Is Foster still playing? He might like the idea of coming in as no 4

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

I agree. Not sure SJ would want to be a number 2.

Exactly
