bobzy Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Yeah - weird because his game against Spurs, I thought, was a cracking debut. Nothing of the like since then in terms of great saves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted July 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2017 Main problem is if he should get injured - our other keepers are rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJ will be here a long time if we go up. That's the most important thing. Whether that be signing Terry for a year or SJ. John Terry is at the other end of his career, and had been brought in to help inspire good practice/attitude (football wise not shagging players girlfriend wise) among the team/squad/club. Something that has been lacking for a long time. Terry brings something unique that isn't available elsewhere. We are also not paying out a fee for Terry. Sam Johnstone is at the beginning of his Career and still learning, so Man U send him out to get rid of his jitters before having him back? Sam Johnstone does not bring anything extra to the club apart from being better than Bunn. As people have said there is better out there for the money. If though we signed him not loaned him that is a big difference because as we hope he has a good season next year in our team, he will still be our player. At the moment we have the issue where end of next season he could be in demand and we have no say in the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted July 13, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2017 We needed reliability in goal, nothing more... to me SJ doesn't provide that. He provides jitters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are worrying about next season when it's this year that matters. If we don't go up we will have to reevaluate everything anyway. You've admitted he is better than what's we have and I trust the management team if they think he's the best we can get. I can understand you wanting a different keeper who you think is better but don't understand you Miami g about the type of deal. If he ends up wanted by Man Utd or anyone else it'll mean he's been brilliant for us. Personally I think if we go up he signs permanently if we don't as I mentioned things will change anyway.

Nath182 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 https://www.avfc.co.uk/News/2017/07/14/johnstone-joins-villa-on-loan Quote Aston Villa are pleased to announce the signing of Sam Johnstone on a season-long loan. Goalkeeper Johnstone spent six months with us last season after joining from Manchester United in January 2017, making 22 appearances for the claret and blues. Johnstone has now rejoined the club and will link up with Steve Bruce’s side as we continue pre-season ahead of the 2017/18 campaign. He said: “I am delighted to be back. “I really enjoyed my last spell here – it’s a great club with top players and passionate fans. “I can’t wait to get started now. "I believe it can be a special season for all of us and I will be working hard each and every day to produce the kind of performances that will help us achieve what we’re aiming for.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
