Getting Downing out of Liverpool

[Squiggles]

True, he was mostly at Villareal, but the point still stands. He's a great player. The clue's in the name.

Malaga's new owners pulled the plug on the cash and they had to sell some of their assets. Pellegrini said in an interview that Arsenal got Santi for about 10million less than his current value.

Michu for 2 million for another ridiculous bargain from La Liga.

Cazorla wouldnt have moved if Malaga didnt have cash issues at the start of the season.
Arsenal hit the jackpot there.

That said, they play in two completely different positions. And the who we could have signed for Downings fee isnt a fun game. There are so many good players that moved clubs for half his fee.
Sadly I think Kenny was to caught up in finding a player that could be a natural winger instead of the system Rodgers is trying to implement.

Nobody would want Downing on a free, let alone pay money for him.
