Quote from: TonyD on January 18, 2011, 06:10:34 PMIf Babel goes then Downing will go to them.Why?Babel is a striker, Downing a winger.We have just kick started the transfer merry go round.
If Babel goes then Downing will go to them.
Babel is also wank and no one will want him.

no. i hope we dont sell Young, think he's a great player
yeah, and he's very good at blasting the ball over the bar at free kicks another favourite is shooting wide when there is other better options, or even going a few yards forward and pretending he's going to actually beat someone, before realising he cant, so cuts back in, and passes backwards, fantastic

John, you're just wrong. Both the evidence of my own eyes and the published statistics demonstrate that Downing has been our most important player this season. Albrighton is a good prospect but he makes more mistakes in a single match (because he's young and still learning) than Downing does in a month.If we're signing a prolific finisher it would be gross stupidity to give away the man who creates more chances than anyone else in the side.
