Andy Johnson is quick, brave and strong and he will get goals,
|
As far as I am concerned Andrew Johnson is and will be a Crystal Palace player. We want to get him back in the Premiership where he deserves to play. If at any stage Andrew comes to me and tells me something different, then that is different. But I have only heard positive things from Andrew.

Clinton's relieved to be back scoring. It's been a lean spell for him but he's a good striker and I've tried to be encouraging.
|
He did brilliantly for us in the time he was here,
|
He is back fit now, which I am pleased about. He is a powerful lad, who seems confident after a good run in the team, and quite right too.
|
He's a big Palace fan and so is his mum and I think that if I hadn't got him she would have gone bananas.
|
He's got a laceration, a very serious gash, on his thigh. We'll see how it goes but it is not a pretty-looking injury.
|
Hopefully we are getting towards the end of the problem because we've missed Danny. He gives us a different option and it's very frustrating because he's hardly kicked a ball for us this year.
|
I can't see any faults, I'm sure he has some - you should maybe ask his wife. But even his dress sense is fine by me.
|
I did enough algebra when I was at university, so I am sick and tired of that.
|
I don't want to sell Andrew Johnson and the money is not important to me. What we must do is start well and show that we are going to get back. But that is not easy. It is going to be very difficult.

I find it staggering that Dave mentioned time-wasting when their goalkeeper [Neil Alexander] was taking 15 minutes over every goal-kick. I wish our ball-boys would give us the ball quickly and take ages to give it to the opposition, but they don't change for anyone. I don't like gamesmanship, and it's not what I'm about. We want to beat teams because of our merits.
|
I have made the point that I do not want to let any players go. I didn't want to let Wayne go. I wanted to keep Wayne but that didn't happen. That was out of our control, but all the rest are in our control. I expect us to be keeping them - I really do.
|
I just wanted to make sure,
|
I think he likes it. He fits in with our ethos. He's a good worker and is an excellent pro. Thank goodness he likes his training or else he wouldn't settle here.
