Has signed a professional contract. Don't know if its been reported elsewhere, sorry if its already posted.
Why? He's probably just going as cover. Amos is the reserve keeper in the meantime and they may give Lindegaard the odd game.I saw that. Is he going to be first choice. I assume it has been guaranteed that he will be.
I think De Gea is something special with how good he is so early. For me Johnstone is on a more normal course to becoming a very good keeper. Just comparing him to the likes of Zieler, Amos and Heaton who are all decent keepers he seems a level above imo.Not unless he improves dramatically when coming off the line. He is talented - I ll give him that - but he is not gonna threaten de Gea if he spaniard has a normal development.
Been on loans already to Scunthorpe and Oldham. As you've said his main problem is who he has to displace, sadly I don't see him over coming De GeaIt's gonna take a hell of a lot to replace either of De Gea and Lindegaard as #1 and #2 in my opinion, though from what I've seen of him he seems like a great prospect. I can see him being shipped out on loan fairly soon though, as I think he needs to get challenged phyiscally over the next few years to really cope if given the chance in the PL.
He faces a tough task to replace either of Amos, Lindegaard or De Gea though, but obviously he got time on his side (to be fair, so does all of the other 3 aswell..)
Johnstone is almost poor on crosses for someone as tall as he is - even at this level when he is usually not up against 6ft3 strikers knowing every trick in the book.I think De Gea is something special with how good he is so early.

Only just turned 19 too. Championship footie at 18 is rare for a keeper, he's coming along nicely.Only 19, still a baby.
Anyone know how tall he is - I remember Paddy saying something about him growing even more - and he speculated that he must be 6ft3 or 6ft4Only just turned 19 too. Championship footie at 18 is rare for a keeper, he's coming along nicely.
Didn't see the game tonight but every game i have seen him he looks class.

Not sure either is ready to be De Gea's understudy next season. I've seen us linked with Schmeichel Jr. and Molde's Ørjan Nyland at a couple of dodgy sites but if Lindegaard wants to leave this summer we might have to invest. Gollini and especially Pereira look like better prospects than Johnstone and Amos to me, but they're a few years away from being taken into consideration. Image google Gollini and tell me it's not meant to be...Nah he hasn't enough experience for that.......Amos is maybe a option as No.2 behind De Gea for next season
He's 19 i think.....so needs games
Forgot about Amos. I think the best way for keepers to learn is to just pla, make mistakes, and see if they have the chops to recover.Nah he hasn't enough experience for that.......Amos is maybe a option as No.2 behind De Gea for next season

definitely nsfw.NSFW for those in work.
Yeah, I wouldn't be that thrilled with the idea of Amos coming in and starting important games if DdG was injured, so I can see us buying someone with more experience in that case. I wouldn't actually object to us bringing in a Schwarzer type signing where you know he's not going to be fazed if he is parachuted in from the cold to play a few games. Who that keeper could be, though, I'm not sure. A few years ago there were a lot more slightly older keepers with bags of experience who wouldn't have cost the earth.Not sure either is ready to be De Gea's understudy next season.

I consider Gollini to be the best of the lot to be honest.Not sure either is ready to be De Gea's understudy next season.

He's definitely better but Johnstone should be playing at a higher level than U21's now.I like him better than Amos.
Hmm...good spot. He was there in the last season one too.He wasn't in the team photo. I think he's off.
It would be a piss poor decision for him to stay if he has an offer elsewhere. You can be impressed all you want. Fact is he's 23 and only 3 years younger than the main keeper. There's no future for him here.Id be very disappointed if we sold him at this stage of his career. it would be a piss poor decision given his age and progression in the last 12 months.
His was fantastic for Doncaster in his loan spell. really impressed me with his presence in and around the box. Keeping Amos and letting him go makes no fking sense.
You should probably get your aul facts right before wading in !It would be a piss poor decision for him to stay if he has an offer elsewhere. You can be impressed all you want. Fact is he's 23 and only 3 years younger than the main keeper. There's no future for him here.
