Should we have Downing back ?

[pooligan]

Hearing the news that Downing has been told he can leave Liverpool in January ,i just wondered if anyone thinks we should have him back .

[kingstanding villa]

No.

[not3bad]

Never

[eastie]

At £8m yes, no more than that -  in his last season was creative and produced good delivery, he left under a cloud but if we could get him back to his best form he would be useful.

I fully understand why most would say no though.

[andyh]

Never in a million fucking years.

Let the weasel bastard, wanker disappear into the obscurity of the championship.
He won't be missed.

Fucker !!   

[supertommykN'iba]

I'd certainly go for him at his true footballing value. So if Liverpool want to give us another £20 million to have him, that's fine by me.

[DerHammer]

Against the general consensus I would say yes. He did well when he played for us, he even had a great season under Houllier.

I hear that Keane may be interested in joining us again. However, this time around, I'm not sure we need him.

[Tom_Mc9?]

No.

[silhillvilla]

NO

[DBTW]

From a football point of view definitely yes.

From a mans point of view no.

He is a class footballer, but a bit of a cock.

[Richard E]

Yes, and we should re-sign Steve Hodge at the same time.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

No fucking way.

If he's available at £8m, i'd rather look abroad for that price.

[berneboy]

No.
Sadly as he has class but no fight. And he ain't no Villa man, is he?

[Walmley_Villa]

I bet O'Nearly is raiding his piggy bank as we speak.

[avfcpg]

Not a chance...did well for us and now not the same player....much like Young, Milner, Barry.
What a waste of talent on all 4 counts. IMO only Cahill has gone on to play better football.
