Hearing the news that Downing has been told he can leave Liverpool in January ,i just wondered if anyone thinks we should have him back .

At £8m yes, no more than that - in his last season was creative and produced good delivery, he left under a cloud but if we could get him back to his best form he would be useful.
I fully understand why most would say no though.

Never in a million fucking years.
Let the weasel bastard, wanker disappear into the obscurity of the championship.
He won't be missed.

I'd certainly go for him at his true footballing value. So if Liverpool want to give us another £20 million to have him, that's fine by me.

Against the general consensus I would say yes. He did well when he played for us, he even had a great season under Houllier.
I hear that Keane may be interested in joining us again. However, this time around, I'm not sure we need him.

From a football point of view definitely yes.
From a mans point of view no.
He is a class footballer, but a bit of a cock.

Yes, and we should re-sign Steve Hodge at the same time.

No fucking way.
If he's available at £8m, i'd rather look abroad for that price.

No.
Sadly as he has class but no fight. And he ain't no Villa man, is he?

Not a chance...did well for us and now not the same player....much like Young, Milner, Barry.
What a waste of talent on all 4 counts. IMO only Cahill has gone on to play better football.
