ewerk 26284 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Liverpool poised to sign Johnson By Phil McNulty Liverpool look to have won the race to sign England defender Glen Johnson after agreeing a fee in the region of £17m with Portsmouth. Reds' boss Rafael Benitez is confident he has beaten off interest from Chelsea in the 24-year-old and expects to make him his first summer signing. Manchester City had also registered an interest in Johnson, but it is believed Anfield is his preferred destination. Benitez is now likely to sell Andrea Dossena to help fund the deal. Johnson, who joined Portsmouth from Chelsea in a £4m deal two years ago, emerged as Benitez's prime target after having an outstanding season at Fratton Park last season. Benitez is working within financial restrictions in the transfer market this summer, but it is understood Liverpool are still owed money from the deal that took Peter Crouch to Portsmouth last summer. Spanish defender Alvaro Arbeloa could also be sacrificed to raise cash towards the Johnson deal, with Real Madrid being linked with an £8m move. He has cemented a place as England's first-choice right-back under coach Fabio Capello and played in the two recent World Cup qualifying victories against Kazakhstan and Andorra. Johnson signed a new four-year deal at Portsmouth in January, but club officials accepted they could not stand in his way if he was offered the opportunity to move a club playing in the Champions League.

TicTacWoe 0 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 He is one of the best full backs in the league, he isn't the finished article yet but he is still very young and already has plenty of experience. If one of the big 4, Man City or Spurs paid that sort of money for one of the best young midfielders or strikers in the league no one would bat an eyelid but people see 17 million as being crazy money for a defender for some reason.

See NUFC © 2009 @ my need to read that twice before I saw the safety wink and could quash my incredulation. Joking aside Fish, it is much easier in general to prevent attacking play than create it. And our biggest problem last season was an inability to score / create chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
