Adam Johnson Joins City Revolution

Manchester City FC are delighted to confirm the signing of 22-year-old Adam Johnson.

Johnson signed from Middlesbrough just before the 5pm deadline on a four-and-a-half deal and will wear the number 11 shirt.

Johnson came on the scene aged 12 and has been at Boro for 10 years. He is a left winger who is capable of playing on the right wing known for his dribbling skills and free kicks.

Great signing.

Tudor

Really impressed when he's played for the U21's, got a proper engine in him, skilfull, not afraid to get stuck in. Best signing of this window by far, Welcome to Manchester Adam!

It's Grim Oop North

The Boy looks delighted!

Johnny Baguette

Hopefully something with his desire to play for the club, showing his delight, will help the battle continue

Once a Blue

I'm chuffed. He's a good young prospect with a great work-ethic. A short term cover for Robi (hopefully) and a long term replacement for rigsby.

scragg

Best signing of the window - that doesn't say much for this window does it?

merlin

Remind us who Chelsea signed then Merlin

Class player

HuddersfieldYiddo

saw the interview on the OS site and the lad seems very grounded - he can also play both left and right wing which is fantastic aswell as fitting in with the new ruling next season.

bluemooner_mcfc

Hes a good prospect. I hope he starts against hull.

Super City Slicker

Good young player, but not the established type you've been signing lately. Must say I'm a little surprised. I predict he'll be at a smaller club within two years. He doesn't suit your ambitions.

Teddy_KGB

I'm happy with this signing - young, English and great potential.

Thaibluefan

a waste of talent going to your shower dont think he will get a game

radders1990

Johnson will get a game because bellamy plays every other match, petrov is inconsistant, swp id badly out of form. Johnson can play either flank, has a dynamic style and hes defensively good - unlike swp and petrov. The kid will shine in the near future. City cant sign superstars all the time. We need youth for the future and johnson is very talented. In my opinion hes a miles better dribbler than bellamy, swp, petrov. City and robinho both know the brasilian will be sold in the summer. Dont be fooled.

thanks radders,wont the sun be wondering why your writing on here?

mcfcirish

Radders - would you prefer he stayed at Boro, struggling in mid table in the Championship? no waste of talent there eh?

Bluedub

The people saying he won't get a game at City are the same sort who believe we have 15 strikers (when recently we struggled at times to have one decent striker available). With Petrov on the outs (contract expiring, no mention of a new one), that would leave us with one left winger (Johnson) and three right wingers (SWP, Weiss, Johnson again) barring new signings. Yeah, Johnson has no chance. :P

StuMCFC

you have to many attackers in your squad which isn't as good as villas and you haven't got as good midfield as villa and you defence is poor and I'll give you credit for given.

Avfc94 we do

Avfc94 we do - If Villa are so much better why are they a point behind City having played a game more?

Bluedub

Better than going to Everton radders.

Thaibluefan

I wouldnt swap any of city players for villa'a run-all-day-no-skill type players. They can keep their long ball tactics aswell.

Super City Slicker

That Dunny is okay though LOL

BlueWolfie

Is he actually any good then?
Will he get any games this season for you lot?
