Fulham are prepared to allow Andy Johnson to leave in the January transfer window if he fails to agree a new contract with the club.
The 30 year-old striker’s contract expires in the summer and has been in protracted negotiations with Fulham over a new contract, with the Cottagers tabling a two-year offer. Johnson has already rebuffed an initial offer from the club that would have significantly reduced his £40,000-a-week wages.
Johnson, who is in the middle of a fine goalscoring streak since returning to the Fulham side, has been attracting interest from QPR – both before and after their derby demolition at his hands – and Leicester, who were reportedly keen on signing the former England international at the end of the summer transfer window. Should Johnson refuse a new contract, Fulham would consider selling him for around £2m – even though manager Martin Jol is keen to keep him at Craven Cottage.
It would be a mistake to let AJ go this season. Pay him what he wants and let him retire at Fulham
I agree that we should try to keep him, but I’m glad we haven’t got you (JasonG) negotiating with him on behalf of the club I support!
Your response tells me you have a problem with comprehension, thus making you an idiot. I’m glad you don’t speak on behalf of the club I support.
well, that got ugly quick. I’d like to see AJ sign but I’m pretty sure that if the club could do it all over it never would have signed him. They must be a bit wary of offering him a big 2 year contract when his scoring up until very recently has been poor and he is a bit fragile.
