I'm in my 5th Season as Manchester United manager and this is Johnson's 2nd season with me. He's an important member of the squad and shares his position with Denilson, who I signed from Arsenal.
The things that confuses me is, when it's match day, more often than not, there's a "PR" next to his name, and it says that "he's not entirely confident of beating so and so" or "Doesn't think he can play to his best.." and yet, i look at his stats and rating at full-time and he's consistently in the top 3/4 top performers. He never says it when it's a big game i.e. Liverpool, Arsenal, it's always when we're facing teams such as Wigan etc etc.
There's nothing you can do about it as far as I know. Some players do have a habit of doing that sadly. And it doesnt matter how big and strong they are either. Its just something random in the game. But I DO think that it happens less with players who have a high determination stat. They're less likely to be such chicken-shits!!!

Aidee how much did you pay for Johnson? i'm in my second season with Arsenal and Sven wants £35m for him. I walked away from that one.
That's exactly what happened with me. I wanted Johnson from the start but was priced out far too many times. I continually scouted him, and told the media that I liked the look of him etc etc which, in the end, unsettled him. In the 3rd summer, City gave in as he wanted to move to a bigger club and was unhappy that Sven had rejected my offer (which was only £11m!). In the end, City accepted a bid oof £15m for Johnson. Oh, and Micah Richards was on board a week later at a cost of £17m. The same scenario as Johnson's. Both are top dollar and are "World-wide". Both have been captains for me this season (in the absence of Rooney, Ronaldo and Dani Alves!)
I got Richards in first season, flopped out a big ol' £26m. I went for Javi Martinez instead of Johnson but certainly will be looking to get him in the future, looks like the only English MC worth having.
