AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I don't think Downing has delivered a quality cross for about 18 months. We should and will avoid like the plague. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Probably our player of the season. But positionally he's been all over the shop in the last two games and I think he's been a bit crap in general TBH. Nope not player of the season imo. Been poor for awhile. He & Colo often concede goals on that side. I thought he had a brilliant first 10 games or so. It's only in the last 2-3 games I've noticed him getting caught out a lot more. Although his defending and positioning has always left a lot to be desired in fairness, I thought it had come on a lot. We've not really had any standout performers bar HBA and Ba. I think HBA has had some shockers though and Ba is fucking infuriating with his constant turning into trouble, running into blind alleys and scuffing the ball along the deck from 30 yards. We're hardly spoilt for choice! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Santon is absilutely brilliant really. Nobody is on top form at the moment, and maybe him and Colo are trying a bit hard... but he's a class signing and hopefully will be for years to come.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Even with his few faults, Santon has comfortably been our player of the season so far, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I honestly haven't seen Downing play well for about a year and a half. Not that I follow him closely mind. Anyway, we won't be signing him so move along. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Anything is an upgrade on our left side, that doesn't mean we literally need to sign anything, we need genuine quality (Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa quality). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which in our current situation and time of year we won't get unless we pay extortionate prices for and even then we'll struggle as players won't want to come to a team in a relegation battle.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The problem with Downing is that he would be expensive and average, therefore not ticking any of our boxes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 We're apparently in advance talks with Loic Remy. If that turns out to be shit there are still plenty more options out there. I wouldn't exactly be opposed to signing Downing for the right price, I would just expect him to be at least 2nd choice which leaves him in a similar place to that he's in at Liverpool.

Tooj Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Isn't Downing on quite substantial wages? He'd be Pardew's wet dream in a 4-4-2 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though, i've never heard of Loic Remy and don't know where he plays or anything. Downing has a premier league track record, wouldn't need time to settle in the country/area or league etc unlike someone from abroad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was shocking under Dalglish and hasn't done enough for Rodgers to be considered a starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
