Interpolic Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'd like to hear Brummie's verdict, I'd rather spend a couple more million on Ince or Sinclair too but compared to Jonas/Obertan this guy could and would be ace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Never really rated Downing tbh. At £5m it's not a huge amount of money to throw at a position we need to upgrade but not sure Downing's "the one". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 On the plus side they have definitely identified our weakest areas at last. The negative is Downing is pretty poor and seems to me to have been on the downward spiral for years and years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Jonas has 1 goal and 0 assists in his last 50 games, btw. Dunno where thats from, last two seasons in the league he's got: 71 games 3 goals 5 assists Pretty much identical to Downing. How many assists does Downing have in his last 50 games? I bet it's more than zero. Are you sure? Because that would mean Gutierrez got 5 assists in 21 games and then 0 in the following 50. Just checked out of curiosity. It's actually 49 games for us, 51 in total. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'd rather not buy players because they were slightly better than our shit players. Pretty sure we could get a lot better for £5m even if he was French/plays in France *spits in disgust* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Dont see downing improving us massively. Would rather spend money a younger player with potential, instead of a player who has never really lived up to his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Liverpool supporting mate of mine just said this to me ( so take it with a pinch of salt) the stories say Liverpool are willing to sell Downing for £5m and that Downing would be open to a move to Newcastle because they're near his home... not that Newcastle have bid or inquired over him (or that they're even seriously interested) Not saying that is the facts but that does make sense and he says he's on 80k a week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Marv's stats? Marv isn't a winger. I know this. Would like still like to see his stats for last season. 3 assists wasn't it? 5 according to soccernet. Marv was actually pretty mint on the wing when he first joined before his injury.

Pretty sure we could get a lot better for £5m even if he was French/plays in France *spits in disgust* Fairly mocking post just for the sake of it. Liverpool form aside he's lots better than most of our current options out wide. Get a similar player from France then fine, although I don't think it's healthy packing the whole squad full of French players and there's something to be said for getting a few players of other nationalities in.
