LFEE Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 For 3 rags to jump on it tonight it smells of Liverpool trying to drum up some business rather than us being interested... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I just don't rate him and feel like we have been down this road before. Maybe it is just because he is a left winger at a club he is no longer wanted at, who cost them nearly £20m but is now available for a quarter of that, is approaching 30 and on high wages which scares me The fact he is English should play no part, as said I would much rather go for Ince or Sinclair. Downing may have been a decent player a few years back but we of all clubs should know that means fuck all with some of our previous signings.

LFEE Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Reading all the reports on this it really does sound like an agents job to gain interest. You beat me to it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Kinnear mentioning we are targeting a left winger has just given the journos an easy target to make up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Has he been involved in any sexual deviancy? Just want to know if he fits our model. Forgot about that. Must have flashed his knob in a park or something at least. He's not averse to fucking birds up: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2083816/Liverpool-star-Stewart-Downing-arrested-punching-ex-girlfriend-nightclub.html I'm really behind the new club policy, so will be fucked off if we don't give this a whirl.

Dokko Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 We've probably enquired to take him on a free with Liverpool paying half his wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Wouldn't be a terrible shout at £5 million providing his wages are reasonable. Downing's certainly more proven than Sinclair at least, who imo is still riding off the back of only one half-decent debut for Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Loads of people saying go for ince instead at £8M, but didn't Blackpool already accept an £8M bid from Cardiff only for ince to turn down the chance to move preferring to stay at Blackpool instead?

thenige Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Massively underrated player, would definitely take him at the club for a fee between say £2m-£5m on half decent wages. And whisper it; he can take a decent corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 STEWART DOWNING could be heading back to the North-East in a cut-price deal after Liverpool told Newcastle United he is available for just £5m. The Reds are trying to trim their wage bill and, after offloading Andy Carroll earlier this summer, Downing could be sold by the Anfield club. Newcastle are interested in bringing in a left-winger even though the priority has been to land two new strikers this summer From Northern Echo, i'm absolutely convinced this is Liverpool trying to drum up interest rather than us actually being interested.
