Downing

Not open for further replies.
Liverpool FC tonight announced they had agreed a fee with Aston Villa for the transfer of Stewart Downing.

Liverpool have now been granted permission to discuss personal terms with the player and arrange a medical.
 
Yep on the official.

We'll pay far too much for him, but he had a terrific season last season so let's hope he can bring that with him.
 
Doesn't the offical website often crash when they announce stuff in the day?

Maybe they hold it off until the everyone is asleep/too sleepy to scruntise the fee.

Do we just start working at 9PM or something?

I guess they negotiate all day but as it gets towards the end of the day they all want to go home and eat dinner so they just give in and agree.

we have over payed for downing and carroll, I think both players are vital to each other and both players can put the other players stats through the roof, downing for assists and carroll for goals.

Do us a favour and tell Gary.
 
Provided we confirm someone at LB signing we have a very very balanced side next season...i'll actually be looking forward to watch us play....
 
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.

This implies that James Blunt is a unfrilly musician, who nevertheless gets the job done well.

James Blunt's music is horrible, but he does seem to be a nice enough person.

I don't know who to compare Downing to, as a musician. Someone decent, but whose music doesn't particularly excite me, yet I acknowledge its appropriateness in many situations.
