SSN: "Downing won't commit to Villa"

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

£20m + He has 2yrs on his contract. It has to be an offer we cannot refuse. £15m is a joke .............

[VillaAlways]

We've rejected it according to SSN

[D.boy]

For once we are in the better position. Pay what we want or feck orf.

[wozwebs]

£35m for Carroll, £20m for Henderson and they want Downing for £15m - piss off

Exactly. I'd sell him for £20m, though. The ungrateful tit.

[Stu]

He'll be going, but not on the cheap. So when are we going to get some replacements in?

I can see next season being a long, hard slog.

[willywombat]

Yep, for 20 million he can fuck off, for 15 million they can

We need to make a stand on this one. It's pretty hard to accept selling two of your three best players in the same window, coming after selling your best player the two previous summers.

Some things are more important than money, so fuck Liverpool, and fuck Downing.

This - totally agree, no other club would do so why should we !?

I don't think the board much care. They showed the world the level of their ambition with the appointment of Alex McLeish. I still can't believe he's our manager.

[eamonn]

I don't think he's even worth that much but sting them like Noocassil and the Mackems did. £19.87m or no dice.

[Mr Diggles]

Sod it, I'm fed up of players being at the club who want to play somewhere else. £20m for a player we bought for £12m with 2 years left on his contract and no appetite for a decent challenge can feck off. But Villa have to insist that a deal is only made on our terms.

Bloody modern-day mercenary footballers.

[Karl Bridges]

Barton was excellent last year whenever i saw him but, no not for me either, the blokes an arse.

He was RT the Dalai Lama on twitter the other day, changed man?

Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If a person shows anger to you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster.

£10m.

[Karl Bridges]

I would take £18m to be fair, only if we get Charlie N'Zog though.
