What a waste... was a very good prospect. This is what happens when some kids get given £40k a week..... In the old days they'd still be scrubbing boots of the senior players, and greatful for a chance of being involved with the first team. Not any more.
Remember seeing him a few years back and he was City's stand out player along with Stephen Ireland. Great passer of the ball. Now he can't seem to pass Greggs without popping in.
Also highlights that Mark Hughes knows FARK ALL. Does he get anything right I wonder...
Pearce's successor Mark Hughes who said: "He is an outstanding young player with a great talent and a great future ahead of him and we want that future to be at City, so we are working to that end.
"The guy has everything in front of him.
"We have all been impressed with what he has shown so far, and I am sure he will be an England regular.
"Michael needs to keep working, but we can help him. We want him to be the best he can be because he has all the right qualities."

True, young players now are spoilt with money and many don't know what to do with it.
Players like Johnson should be held as examples of how not to behave for both players and clubs.
If young players don't sign contracts with their club and leave for a better financial offer then they are probably not the kind who would be loyal or hardworking.

Beat me to it.
People like this don't get my pity - they make me angry. He was one of the luckiest people on the planet to get a chance to be a pro footballer and wastes it.

Why are people digging out Hughes for his comments he probably made 4 or 5 years ago!? Hardly his fault a player who he didn't sign, and managed for a year let his career go to waste.
Johnson was indeed a talent when he first emerged, few could have predicted this is what would become of him!
