khay Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ashley Young is on the move then? Maybe Downing might play right wing and young might move over there. Good move for Downing like and will give Villa some more options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 SSN: Villa agree £12m fee for Downing. £12m!!!!!!? £24m on Milner and Downing! almost makes Michael Owen and Luque look like good value Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 In comparison to the 12m for Milner I reckon thats a pretty good fee. I reckon he's about 4m better than Milner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 SSN: Villa agree £12m fee for Downing. £12m!!!!!!? £24m on Milner and Downing! almost makes Michael Owen and Luque look like good value Not quite, Milner and Downing can actually be fairly useful. If I was a Villa fan I would be happier to see that £12m go towards the defence though. Laursen forced to retire and Bouma struggling they are going to needs some investment on their defence. Isn't Downing crocked till November or something anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Is this Milner moving into the centre then? He's not as good as Young or Downing, but is a bit expensive for a squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Seems an odd move to spend £12m on a player who plays in the same position as your current best attacking player. It'd be a shame to see Young move on, but he'd be a good signing for any of the top 4 imo, particularly Arsenal who could do with some width and a bit more direct attacking play.

Guest Stephen927 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Might switch Young over to the right flank or just keep the pair of them switching over flanks with Milner as a back up, rotation player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Downing will flourish at Villa. Unlike Milner he actually has serious talent with still more room to grow. I believe Downing even has the potential to play centrally and could very well step right into Barry's former position. If I was O'Neill though I would just push Milner into right back and hope he develops there. It's the only position I could ever really see Milner perhaps being decent in. His work rate and stamina would be good assets at right back and his average attacking ability will look better as a right back also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Downing is decent enough but he is a very over-rated player. He's one of those that seems very highly rated by those within the game (i.e. managers) but not so much by fans. A bit like Jenas in that regard.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 If Villa want to really push on they shouldn't be letting anyone go. Their problem last season was they couldn't keep going for the whole season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
