Ok, so I haven't seen one. Someone else said they saw one. I asked when, went to watch the time they said and I saw nada.
So help me out, when did he duck a challenge?

What he is saying , if you don’t speak Welsh, pretty well means ‘ go to hell you dickhead’. I see that the first 6 letters of his posting name are absolutely the right description of him. Just an idiotic troublemaker.I’m a member of the red wall, son and have been going to games for years. Unlike you.

According to who? The media....
There’s a bit too much noise in this thread. It reminds me of Son’s first season when many people thought he was shit. He’s gone on to become a great player.
Now, I’m not saying Johnson will do the same but he was signed as somebody with the potential to improve. He is clearly nowhere near the finished article and even though he cost 50M, that is the just the going rate for a young player of talent.
Let’s see where he is this time next year before we write him off.

Deserves a lot more time
It's not so much that he ducks challenges, although the stats say he's 15th on our squad for tackles per game, so he's definitely not exactly tenacious. It's more his pressing, closing down and tracking runners that's fucking shoddy. Considering the only thing he's got in his locker is straight line running, you'd think he'd be up and down that touch line backing up Porro, who's doing all the football stuff for him. But he doesn't do it enough or cleverly. Very fucking slack.
Well, yes? It’s about filtering the reputable media from the riff raff, and reputable media were reporting a €25 million fee.
Also on Transfermarkt.com, which is traditionally very reliable when it comes to fees, it has him down for €25 million.
I don't think he was ducking challenges but was consistently beaten to the ball by defenders because he was playing too high and didn't anticipate the pass coming too him. Werner seemed to have acres of space when he received the ball in comparison. Surely that stuff can be dealth with by coaches. It was frustrating the amount of times the attack died on the right hand side with him (especially when you have set your alarm for 3.30am to watch it).
Excellent post
Got to give him time but it’s nothing like Son. It was obvious to anyone who knew anything that Son was an amazing player. Only idiots slatted him that first season. Personally dont think Johnson is all that great, over paid, but lets see next year.
Promising young Welsh Winger... But not impressing in his first few months here...
Remind you of anyone?
Give him a COUPLA seasons at LEAST!
(Yes I know we didn't spend £50m on Bale, so expectations were lower... But given how he turned out, we were clearly playing him out of position for at least a season or two!)

I remember some people calling out Son years back for lacking bravery / bottling challenges. I think it was after a NLD when Petr Cech was their keeper and beat Sonny to a 50/50. Anyway, my point is that even the best players in the world have off days where they throw out a lazy leg, or struggle to score in a brothel. Confidence is key IMO. BJ has many good attributes. I'm sure he will gain confidence over time and, like Sonny, become a "fan favourite".
