It seems that as a club, what we do with our signings is, let the news out we are interested in someone a bit shit. Judge interweb chatter. If overall feeling is negative, make sure signing drags on and ooooon and ooooon until everyone forgets the player is shit and signing is greeted with unanimous joy.
THE JIGSAW IS COMPLETE!!!

Downing is a functional, but nevertheless very good, winger. I have plenty of faith he's going to do an excellent job for us.
He reads the game well, is unselfish, and is an excellent crosser of the ball.
