The same tassles appear under his hand too, If it was photoshopped they would have just swapped the head wouldnt they?

I don't think it's even Downing, if you zoom right in the lad looks about 19.

It could have been an England scarf though. The scarf itself looks a little odd to me, I think that's what's been changed.

The scarf might have been photoshopped the supposed extra fingers thing isn't right. It's certainly his hand holding it.

Also what is holding up the other end of the scarf?

@AVFCOfficial Aston Villa FC

Brian Doogan, our head of media, has spoken to Stewart Downing and he can confirm the picture circulating the internet is a FAKE.












I'm guessing he's always going to say that.

I'd trust Downing's word about as far as he can cross a ball.

He got tapped up by Liverpool and wants out. Only thing stopping his move is Liverpool meeting out asking price.

You'd have thought Villa may have put someone with a little more authority than the Head of Media on the job of speaking to Downing about it....

It's probably Adam Johnson. Both the buggers look the same.

Hardly. Sunderland were desperate for the cash, not to mention a certain situation with Miss Potatohead.

I don't, same as Mark doesn't "know" that Downing has been tapped up. However, the speed with which it all went through suggested to me some sort of prior contact.
