Thankfully this deal has not dragged on until the cusp of 11 pm and will hopefully allow the club to focus on further new signings and also shifting some of the reluctant deadwood on, rather than hanging around the club collecting their wages.
Johnson is still raw at 22 and needs developing, he is by far the finished article who can walk straight into our starting eleven and fans will have to show patience.
Have something to tell us about this article?
