or the two-footed tackle in the first half??

he's a good player, but only like Huckerby - will always do a job, but he'll never "make it", imho

I'd say so.

:sneakoff:

i would like to say that i love AJ, have known about him for a while - just didn't think he'd do so well! he's palace's only hope of staying up, so i hope he keeps it up!
 

Andrew Johnson

I think he's quality.

Didn't Palace get £5million for Clinton Morrison and AJ as part of the deal? I bet Birmingham are screwing over that deal now.
 

Andrew Johnson

yeh, but palace fans knew at the time that they'd done well there - i remember aj was a bit of a prospect at birmingham, but they got all big-for-their-shoes, right around the time morrison got a few goals. i don't think palace fans were too upset by the deal, and definitely not in hindsight :laugh:

Andrew Johnson - known as "AJ" by poofy Ginger Lampposts !?

AJ ? A bloody J ! what's all that about Dtb ? :scratch: Homosexual tendencies or what ? :nono:

How about "I remembering watching Johnson a few years back and thinking what a good player he's gonna be" as opposed to "ooh ducky, I just love that cute little incy wincy AJ"

sort it out DtB otherwise we'll set Panny on to you again a la 'Uddersfield away ! ;)

Andy Johnson, affectionately known as AJ by Palace fans, such as my father! "the man who got us into the premiership"! :thumbs:

yes, possibly i could have phrased it better :shrug:

Only to a certain extent IMO.

Unless Johnson can regularly score 10-15 goals in the Premier League, season after season, he can't really say he's made it.

Look at Michael Ricketts, he was banging them in for Bolton, played for England once and has now disappeared off the scale without a trace. You can't exactly say he made it can you?

another name for you - kevin phillips?

I did think about using Phillips as an example, but then apparently he scored 18 in his second season, and over 10 goals in two other seasons since, plus he is still a regular with a Premiership side.
 

Andrew Johnson

Yeah,but any one with Peter Reid as a prominent figure in your playing career is not gonna turn out that good :rolleyes:

but he never "made it" - was touted as a star but has just turned out to be alright... and that's what i kinda worry for for AJ...

So you don't think that 88 goals in 6 Premiershite seasons, as well as 8 caps for England, is making it then?

I don't think Phillips was ever touted as a star in the same vein as someone like Michael Owen, more that he was just a very good player who could, and still can, perform a more than adequate job at the highest level.
 

Andrew Johnson

ok ok - i suppose andy johnson would kill for a career that ended up like that. my point was just that there was a stage when phillips was regarded as one of the best in the prem, and now... i don't think anyone worries about him too much :D
