Song for Glen:

To the tune of Michael Jackon's 'Ben'. Topical innit.

Glen, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a club to call your own
You'll never walk alone
And you my friend will see
You'll win with LFC
(you'll win with LFC)

Glen, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
You and Dirk are ****ing everywhere
(Everywhere)
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's something you should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)

I thought Johnson done fantasitc today in his first press conference, he spoke really well,
He seems to have genuine effection for our great club. Great start for the lad. He also said the first kit he owned was a Liverpool kit, and he has had a soft spot for the club since then. He also said that City could buy players but they cant buy a team.

“It's a fantastic club - one of the biggest in the world - it's got a great history and I wanted to be a part of that.”

“We've got some fantastic players and I wanted to come here and help Liverpool win the league. The boys did fantastically well last year.”

“Hopefully we can now get a few more points and steal it from Manchester United.”

“We want to go as far as we can in every competition but all the lads want to win the Premier League and that would be a great start.”

The England right-back was named in the PFA team of the year last season, yet remains keen to improve at the club.

He added: "I can definitely improve - every player can. I want to improve every aspect of my game.”

“Rafa has told me he wants more of the same form I showed last year, but he also wants me to improve. We will be working hard together to do that.”

“I am here to do my best.”

“Yesterday was my first day and all the lads and staff made me feel really welcome, so it's good times,”

“I knew Stevie and Carra from before but yesterday I met about 60 players! I was shaking the same hands about four times introducing myself!”

“It's a lot to take in at once, and obviously the lads were messing about and laughing about that. But everyone's made me feel really welcome and it's great to be here.”

Johnson suggested he spoke to his former Pompey teammates Peter Crouch and Jermaine Defoe prior to moving to Anfield.

He said: “Peter and Jermaine said it's a fantastic club but they didn't need to say that - I knew. They told me I'd enjoy every minute of it.”

Glen Johnson interview - Liverpool FC was the only club for me.

Jul 9 2009

LIVERPOOL FC new boy Glen Johnson today revealed how he was given the inside track on his new club by a pair of former Reds.

The England right back said he spoke to Peter Crouch and Jermaine Pennant - who he played with for Portsmouth - about the move and received nothing but positive reports.

"Peter and Jermaine said it's a fantastic club but they didn't need to say that - I knew. They told me I'd enjoy every minute of it," he said, speaking to the Liverpool club website.

Johnson added that Liverpool's reputation in world football meant no other club could compete for his signature.

The right-back was the subject of reported interest from other clubs - but claims there was no contest once Rafa Benitez offered him the chance to join 'one of the biggest clubs in the world'.

"I had a spell at Chelsea before and there were good and bad times but when a club like Liverpool comes in for you it is not a hard decision," Johnson said.

"It's a fantastic club - one of the biggest in the world. It's got a great history and I wanted to be a part of that.

"The hairs on the back of your neck stand up when you come to Anfield and hear You'll Never Walk Alone even when you don't play for Liverpool, so I cannot begin to imagine how it is going to feel when I put the kit on for the first time."

Johnson said his top priority in a Liverpool shirt will be helping the club win a first league title since 1990.

"We've got some fantastic players and I wanted to come here and help Liverpool win the league," added the 24-year-old.

"The boys did fantastically well last year. Hopefully we can now get a few more points and steal it from Manchester United.

"We want to go as far as we can in every competition but all the lads want to win the Premier League and that would be a great start."

Johnson was voted the Premier League's best right-back by the PFA last term but the England man insists there is even more to come.

"I can definitely improve - every player can. I want to improve every aspect of my game," he said.

"Rafa has told me he wants more of the same form I showed last year, but he also wants me to improve. We will be working hard together to do that.

"I am here to do my best."

Johnson reported to training at Melwood for the first time on Wednesday where he was introduced to his new teammates.

"Yesterday was my first day and all the lads and staff made me feel really welcome, so it's good times," he said.

"I knew Stevie and Carra from before but yesterday I met about 60 players! I was shaking the same hands about four times introducing myself! It's a lot to take in at once, and obviously the lads were messing about and laughing about that. But everyone's made me feel really welcome and it's great to be here."

Good interview from the lad. Like his attitude a lot

Decent signing. A lot of cash though and I would have prefered spending all our budget on a winger.

The Chelsea experience really matured him. He seems very sensible and isn't taking anything for granted. We all know how Rafa loves players who are willing to learn and how much he can improve them (i.e Benayoun, Kuyt, Torres, Agger etc.)
