I mean is it even worth having statistically the best goalkeeper when we're conceding 3-5 goals on a regular basis anyway? There's obviously a problem in front of him that needs to be addressed. But I realise we're covering old ground here, so i'll leave my opinion at that
I don't think Johnstone will go until the summer anyway. Teams will know we're likely to get relegated and will get him much cheaper if we go down, with 12 months left on his contract.
Lonergan on the bench today, with Button starting. So it does look like he's just a replacement 3rd choice for Bond and will not impact upon the first team picture.
I gave up assuming or presuming anything with this club decades ago, especially when it comes to money. In terms of money for Johnston if he were to be sold. The last year discount only applies if there would only be one club in for him, I doubt that and think there would be several clubs coming for him so he will hold his price.
