Mark Lawrenson on R5 this morning more or less implied it's an inevitable move.


He would though wouldn't he? Most of their ex-gobshites still think Liverpool are the last word in football.

I really don't think Downing will be allowed to leave full stop.

I think the next stage is for Downing to put in a written transfer request which I expect by Monday. The cock.

I think we have said he is not for sale as a way of getting liverpool to up their bid.  Downing is off, IMO, and we are just waiting for the right amount of money.

Downing  not for sale is the same as Modric is not for sale.  Both are once the amount reaches an acceptable level.

I feel further removed from the game I have loved for 55 years every day.

If Spurs lose Modric they still have Van Der Vaart, Pienaar, Kranjcar, Bale and Lennon.  We lose Downing we're only really left with the kids like Albrighton and Bannan, oh and Ireland.  We are a long long way from competing with Spurs and Liverpool for 5th and 6th place, never mind 4th, that has now long gone.

Yes, indeed, just like that fat twat on Talkawholelottashite. Hilarious to hear some Bindipper ring in to their show this morning and say that they have signed second rate players so far. The presenters almost spontaneously combusted on the spot!

What is the point of keeping a bloke that generally has a half arsed attitude against his will?
I can see Downing making a real effort next season.

Just read that Modric has come out and said he's not going to hand a transfer request in at Spurs.

So am I right in saying if you have a contract and the club sells you they have to pay that up ? A ''loyalty bonus ''

So if SD is on 50k a week is that £5.2 mil he will lose for handing in a transfer request ?
