Liverpool FC confirmed this evening that they had reached an agreement with Portsmouth Football Club and with Glen Johnson for the transfer of the player to Anfield.
I am glad that Liverpool managed to secure Glen Johnnson from Portsmouth for £17m. To many others, the amount of money spent on him might appear excessive, especially after news report about the amount of debt that the owners have put on Liverpool. Note it's the OWNERS. As mentioned Liverpool itself is a very profitable club. Alright I shouldn't ramble about how much these 2 yankees are pulling Liverpool down.
Not that I am justifying the Rafael Benitez's move on spending £17m for a right back. But well I can understand the reason behind it
1. He's only 24 years old
2. He's English (Given the new Champions League 4+4 rule, Englishmen are prized possession)
3. Rafa has been having problems in the right back position
4. Portsmouth still owes Liverpool £7m
5. The transfer market this season is crazy. Any amount less than £15m will buy you peanuts!
6. Most importantly he is the one of the BEST right backs in the world.
So welcome Glen! Looking forward to seeing you in the mighty red shirt next season. I hope you don't turn out to be a flop like Andrea Dossena and Philipp Degen.
