Downing Completes Liverpool Transfer

[john2710]

£35m for Carroll
£20m for Henderson
£20m for Downing

At least £40m more than they are worth.

Another player of the season goes for £20m, looking forward to welcoming you back to VP in December you spineless c**t!

[Duncan Shaw]

Reading the Beeb, I didn;t realise we paid £10 million rising to £12 million on appearances.  Do you think he made enough, or have we made a £10 million profit on the little twat.  If we have, that is some negotiations - I can only presume someone other than Faulkner did them!

[Dave]

It always was £10m.

O'Neill said that it was £10m when we signed him, so why people have been reporting for the last two years that we paid £12m I have no idea.

Apologies if it has been reported before but at last a Mirror sports writer has been accurate and objective when writing up a Villa story..

Derek McGovern wrote on Friday "Aston Villa supposedly cracked in their game of bluff with Liverpool over Stewart Downing when the bidding hit £20 million.   There is a word missing in that sentence - it's "up" and should immediately follow "cracked".  Paying £20m for Downing is the worst bit of transfer dealing since paying £20m for Jordan Henderson."

Could not agree more.

And he's a Liverpool fan, is he not?

[TimTheVillain]

WHAT A FUCKING WANKER.

[Mazrim]

Are Liverpool not bothering with defenders then? I mean, they've hardly got the best have they?

[martin o`who??]

Thanks for using us to get to a "big four club", we payed you wages while you sat on your arse for six months, one decent season and suddenly we`re not good enough for you, Young, Barry, Milner i could take but you owed us big time.  i genuinley hope you have an absolute mare up there you backstabbing, skinnly little shite.

[PaulWinch again]

He clearly is just a rat faced little scrotum, see you later.

[Mazrim]

When all is said and done, we'll probably have a better player and £10m from him so a big hearty fucking "lol" all round.

I'd like to wish him good luck. But I'm not going to.

[garyshawsknee]

Yep good riddance,if we can get Nzobia for half the price of that piece of shit we'll be laughing. In 12 months time,Liverpool we'll see that he aint that good,and will end up playing for Bolton.

I'm not one for abusing ex players,even Barry,Yorke as they always gave us good service,but this cnut deserves a middle eastern style buring effigy being parading towards the holte.

[Mazrim]

I dont think he's worthy of that kind of reaction.  I just dont care about him. I knew he was a good player here but never warmed to or particularly admired him.
He's just a weasel. He wanted away from his boyhood team as soon as they struggled, instead of helping them out of the shit and now after we took a big chance on him he's off as soon as a percieved (its not even like he'll be playing a higher level) better offer comes along.
I very much doubt he'll ever prove good enough but should a better offer come in for him whilst at Liverpool, like a champions league team, he'll drop them like a hot shit too.

[Olneythelonely]

What an absolute bag of monkey ******. Ungrateful little worm, I hope he breaks his other foot.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

He will probably start off well then decline into the very average player he is. Good business by Villa but we must get Nzogbia and quickly ......

They're not a big four club.
