I don't really see why Johnson could be one of your most disliked Norwich players ever

Limited, sure, but we've had plenty of those. And despite those limitations, has had some games where he's done really well for us, seems to me (and others where he's been a liability).

Guess this comes down to expectations of what our players ought to be. In particular that we should favour midfielders who use the ball well - perhaps more than other clubs. p'raps. But even then, we've had plenty of cloggers who've done less for us than Johnson, haven't we?

Maybe I'm missing something. Perhaps that the last couple of years have been a time when we should have been aiming higher, I suppose. Even then hard to blame Johnson particularly though.
