Wrexham fans seem to think he's going there on loan

Would be a good TV plot - the player who played a major part in beating them the other year comes to help them try to win another promotion...

Worst team for him to go to. He needs a team that keeps.the ball on the deck, their style of play would do John no favours.

Another season in L2 is hardly going to help his development and now he is at a Premiership club I would expect him to join a L1 club as a minimum but maybe a bottom half Championship club would give him a try?

Potential is certainly there and now probably comes down to his level of commitment and how much he wants it.

He hardly shined at L2 last season, so another season to establish himself at L2 and prove himself at this level won't harm him.

Think they play better footy than they did in our promotion season. They rigidly stick to wingbacks though in a 532/352, would that suit him? Potentially it could as there's a slot there for an attacking midfielder in the hole.

Really can't see him hitting any of the heights of 21/22 again, will always be thankful for his contributions that season but off the field behaviours, outside influencers and ultimately the move he earned for himself made him alot less effective last season.
Luton going up whilst he wasn't there wont have done him any favours as I am sure we all agree he isn't Premiership level.
I can see certain similarities to Bogle ..... a big season with us but then always searching to repeat it.

Would love him to prove me wrong so that season would somehow be more memorable if he went onto much  greater things but he needs to focus his energies in the right way.

Be on loan for a year then be bought by a Bolton / Blackburn type club near his Manchester mates , then like others have said fade into a journeyman like bogle … having said that if he scores 20 in the prem I’d be pleased as punch for him & I personally will always like him
