Thanks eastie didn't know that but from what Jose says he is highly regarded so I can't for the life of me see what the coaches on here find wrong with the loan deal. They may take up the option so they get money for him but I wouldn't be amiss if he signed for us. As someone said he knows a good player via he's watched villa a long time, so have I (56 years to be exact) and I've seen some great and some duff players and Johnstone is not one of the duff ones!
