Pretty clear he's likely to be off. Looks more like lowe doesn't fancy him rather than him wanting to leave, I could be wrong. Think it's absolute madness imo, but he's the manager his decision and if he thinks there's better out there then go for it.

He was happy to have him as skipper on Saturday

He's not really played well consistently since his last contract extension - excellent today though

This is Johnson at championship level. It’s been the same for 7 seasons.

When he’s good he’s often very very good. When he’s bad he can be a complete passenger. At his age I don’t see that changing.

New contract? Suspect we won’t be able to offer him what he would likely want anyway.

I can't see any other Championship club doing so either.

I often wonder why dj is slated for not playing amazing evey game... when every fucking player to ever play for our amazing club had the same traits maybe apart from gregan 😃

Seriously though, oh when he's good he's amazing when he's bad he's bad stuff I just don't get, it's like he's held to a different standard.

Daniel Johnson is a legend he's given the best years of his career with us and has rarely let us down, he has flaws like all our players but far fewer than most.

Our best player by a fucking mile.

I don’t agree but hey ho.
 
I do struggle to see who is better than him technically? Brady potentially but, to go out and replace him, simply won’t happen.

We can't force DJ to have talks though, or maybe he's already been told what the max he can expect here is and he's waiting to see what other offers come along before deciding what to do.

The danger is he agrees to go somewhere at the end of the season in January and just goes through the motions here for the rest of the season. But what can we do?

There won’t be a club who will increase his wages at his age. He’s 31 in October. championship clubs will probably want younger players to play for them on lower wages. Personally I can see him staying for another year or two.
 
I'm fine whether he stays or goes. He could be after a final big contract but I certainly wouldn't be offering any more than what he's already on. If Lowe wants to keep him and he wants to stay then fine, but if DJ wants that payday and finds somewhere else, so be it.
 
Could see him at West Brom, they like snapping up proven Championship players on a freebie. They'd throw £20k a week at him, no problem.

Unless he joins his mates in Greece.
 
The big question is does he justify the wage he is on? Our top goalscorer or a consistent 7-8/10 then yeah. We just don’t get them performances enough.

I like DJ and on his day he is unplayable, we just don’t see it enough. Maybe it’s the way we use him but he has thrived a few time under Lowe, some at LWB but early on also in the attacking 8 getting down that left channel. Maybe it’s his contract situation?

Who would replace him? Maybe Lowe has his eye on a young loan that his wages off the wage bill could free up. Short term mindset I know but a real handful of an attacking mid could be the surprise that get us up.
