CONFIRMED Marvin Johnson

[Mouth of the South]

Dazzler got this and Washington right ages ago.

2 years ago both were going for >£2m and were miles out of Utd's reach. Fast forward to today and some brain-deads (not you obviously HPB) are still not happy.

IMO both will add something to and improve the squad - good signings (if not the big names some expected)!

 

[SUFC Guy]

Fresh start for both of today's acquisitions.

Treeton Blade your 100% ITK record seems to be slipping. Could it be that you’re not actually ITK at all?

All is forgiven Treeton Blade .

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Is this a standard loan, or one with a permanent option / obligation?

Be a shame to lose him if he were to do well.

Seen the deal reported differently by various sources.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Wilder must think he can play him up front?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Weird that Enda has upped his game since talk of Marvin coming in started...

No. It's since Jack started moaning to fans.

 

[YES Blade]

it's going to be interesting to see where Wilder will play him, he doesn't seem to fit the 3-5-2 formation so maybe WIlder is thinking of switching to 4-3-3 more often this season, we didn't really seem to have much of a Plan B last season so 4-3-3 could be it.

It was originally tweeted as having the option and swiftly changed

Strange, was just about to ask this. presumably if he does well we'll sign him in January.

 

[WoodMillBlade]

Nice signing!

Weren’t there a warbling singer called Enda or was it Brenda ? Summat like that

 

[Bill puntin]

Confirmed Johnson signed

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Ah, bit of a shame. Have a good feeling he’ll do well for us. But still, think he’s a good alternative to have out wide.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Wenger made a winger into the best striker in the world.
In Arsene Wilder we trust.

Pretty sure if he does well someone with more money will sign him.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

I think this kid will be a BIG hit here.

 

[Fanny magnet]

Confirmed Johnson signed

Noooooooooooo !

 

[ThroughThinAndThinner]

Sky saying he may have gone to pigs

Can we now start ignoring sky as they don’t seem to know the difference between us and them

 

[blade53]

Pleased about the Johnson signing as I think he is exactly the type of player that Wilder can get something extra out of. A little underwhelmed about Washington though , but I must confess that I don't really know an awful lot about him other than that he had a couple of good years at Posh , and a couple of fairly anonymous years with QPR. But you never know , if Tufty could do it with Leon ……..

 

[Rodders]

With a name like Marvin Johnson you’d assume he was a brother

 

[SteveBlade]

With a name like Marvin Johnson you’d assume he was a brother

If you look closely and the lighting is right you can see that he is actually a bit black.

 

[metalblade]

Don't know much about him but Boro must have seen something to shell out a few million for his services, another one with something to prove like Conor Washington neither of these signings get my pulse racing. Both seem like squad fillers to me maybe we can't afford real quality or it is just the same owd United doing it on the cheap. I do hope both of them do well here I really do but they seem like risky signings which could go either way. Neither of them have done it consistently at this level unlike Norwood and Egan.

From the waist down.

 

[Bill puntin]

Noooooooooooo !

I know must keep up.

 

[Bladepicker]

With a name like Marvin Johnson you’d assume he was a brother

Imagine WWF's disappointment when he sees him.

 

[SB_90]

Can someone fill me in. As this afternoon he was having a hull medical & then few hours later hes signed for us

 

[Blade56]

Anyone got a clue what we've paid for him? Values have gone crazy, heard WBA offered £15m for Dack but they turned it down.

Not paid anything, he’s just a straight loan until the end of the Season. He still has a couple of years left on his contract so presumably Middlesbrough want to see how he goes.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Is this a standard loan, or one with a permanent option / obligation?

Wilder a few weeks ago said we were after a loan that would have the permanent deal written in for Jan, a loan with the view to a permanent deal (i.e. not written in, but buying not off the table), and a straight loan. Norwood was the first, our top target for the striker was presumably supposed to be the last, Johnson will be the middle one.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I missed this one mid-flounce earlier, what a signing!
