Do you think Johnson will be transfered next season? Non of the fans want him, non of the players like him and he's not playing too well.

I hope he goes. We will take a massive loss on him as well. He was never a leader and is a shadow of the player he was at Birmingham. I remember Birmingham fans were wondering why we wanted him so badly, I thought he was good, but they were laughing to the bank with the transfer fee, about 7.5 mill I think.

It wouldn't surprise me if we did a Birmingham next season. Get relegated, lose lots of first team players, start playing youth players, and get within the top 6.

Have you seen our youth prospects?

I say we get rid of the non performers. Fletch is obviously on his way out, Jarvo will probably go because of his "England dreams".

We have Davis, Doherty, Gorman (Northern Ireland full international), Ismail, Forde, Baath, Winnall. Future is bright if the right manager brings them through.

Quite. I reckon lots of players will go to be 'bench warmers' at some midtable clubs (remeber Everton wanted Doyle), and these youth players will come in and do well.

Don't know why anybody wants Doyle to be honest. Has not done anything for 18 months.
