Stewart Downing

[Modo]

can't stand him with a passion. biggest mistake kenny did was sign him. but to sign him for 20m is a complete joke. he's such an awful footballer.

Biggest mistake Kenny did was staying after the initial 6 months.

If SD is bad, that makes England bad and do not deserve the top 10 status in FIFA!?

England don't deserve to be anywhere near their ranking. The ranking system is a load of shit.

That's not just downing's fault. Tbf his England performances have been typically much better than his Liverpool ones.

 

[Woland]

That's coz most international games are of a shit standard. He looked good playing against lower league teams for us in the cups and he'll look good against some ex soviet shitehawks in qualifying.

mark gonzalez is better than downing!

League cup final MOM....


...in one of the worst finals ever.

 

[Hansern]

From YNWA, Downing to Stoke for £9m, but they won't match his £80k pw wages, or QPR on loan who will match his wages.

Massive fee and high wages. We're bleeding whichever way you go.

 

[gkmacca]

Well if you don't want him, shut up and take what's offered and move on.

 

[Ryan]

If we get 9M for him who gives a clean cunt if they don't pay him enough?

I'll drive him to Stoke myself and bring Skully along with me to threaten him with some jaw-breakage if he doesn't sign up.

 

[RedZeppelin III]

i'd agree , i think we might have to bite the bullet and realise we fucked up big time . It's hurts but take the hit and move on .

 

[Hansern]

We could end up paying 30-40k ofhis wages for the next 3 years.

Thats 4,5-6 mill £

So it is really scraping the bottom of the barrel when SD is in the England team and the rest of the top ten FIFA Team are truly bad too when England can be at that top ten ranking!? I find this perspective mind boggling.

 

[FoxForceFive]

"He's a better player than I thought he was"

Whilst that quote made me cringe its been repeatedly the accusation that downing hasn't been able to handle the mental side of playing for a bigger club. If true then building him up in the press is an obvious way to try to increase his confidence.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

"He's a better player than I thought he was"

What did you want Daglish to say? "Ay lads, I messed up big time, he is so average, I could probably contribute more myself"? I'm sure Rafa defended players you thought were terrible - they have to do that, not everyone can be as gifted as Roy and slam their players in the media (GlenJo etc) to 'build their confidence.'

Anything's better than this repetitive crap: 'MONDAY: Dear Diary, I still hate Downing. TUESDAY: Still hate him. WEDNESDAY: Still...' Okay, point made.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Not the biggest fan but we are selling at the lowest point.

He worth more than 9 million

 

[Rouge Penguin]

It's not really getting 9m though is it. You've got to pay the cunt for the test of his contract, so it's more about breaking even.

It's like repeatedly going back to the same restaurant that keeps giving you food poisoning.

 

[the count]

Can't we just send that youtube clip of Downing banging all those balls into the barrels to any prospective buyers.
He should be worth nearly £15m on the strength of that alone.

And don't think that there is somebody stupid enough to fall for it.






a second time

 

[Gary25]

If we can get 8-10mil for Downing i'd be delighed. He needs selling.

 

[Skullflower]

i'd be fucking made up to get 8 mill. absolutely fucking despair at that transfer.

Reportedly on £80,000 a week too, madness.
