Stewatrt Downing fee agreed - 20M GBP!!!

 

[Ronnie11]

downing fee accepted for liverpool...Seriously 20Mil???Wtf????

 

[Liverpool_fan]

Yeah fee has been agreed but not confirmed whether it's 20M GBP.

Reds agree Downing fee - Liverpool FC

Andy Carroll will seriously benefit from his crosses IMO, I hope we have a good plan.

^ Spunking mental amounts of money on average/above-average British talent (Carroll, Downing, Adam, Henderson)?

Adam's price was fair.
Fair comment but I didn't see you comment the same for Mancs when they signed Phil Jones, Ashley Young, de Gea (not British but hell a lot paid for).
Or is it due to our past failures that it's much easier to take a pop?

 

[XTerminator]

Confident that Downing will be a good signing (if he fits in).Where would that leave Adam who has a poor passing rate than even Darron Gibson?

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Downing not coming to Arsenal?Really?
Phew!

I saw a bit of yesterday's game and Arshavin has shaped up!Expecting a big season from him.New boy Jenkinson looked pretty solid as well.

Yes, your transfer record was a factor. But the Mancs gor Ashley Young, who is arguably a better player than Downing and not just a one-trick pony.
Phil Jones - heard you lot lost out on him. He is younger and had a good U-21 tournament, whereas Henderson flopped badly there.

Adam could possibly turn out to be the best of that bunch. But would he get into the team when all your mids are fit?

Yup.

Arguably If Downing's a one trick pony, his "tricks" of crosses is the one which we need the most. Seriously.

Here are some stats I got from RAWK.

OptaJoe Opta Sports
56% - Downing, Adam & Henderson created 239 chances in the PL last season, equivalent to 56% of Liverpool's 2010-11 total (429). Blueprint.

421 - Since Aug 2004, only 4 players (Lampard, Fabregas, Gerrard & Giggs) have created more PL chances than Stewart Downing. Craftsman.

34.4 - Stewart Downing has averaged 34.4 appearances over the past five Premier League seasons. Reliable.

8 - Stewart Downing has provided eight PL assists since August 2009, one fewer than Theo Walcott in the same period. Target.

I don't like to justify by stats but these are quite decent stats to have and are what we need and if he continues in the same vein, he'll seriously improve the team.

Phil Jones - heard you lot lost out on him. He is younger and had a good U-21 tournament, whereas Henderson flopped badly there.

Younger?
And no I will not dismiss a player having one bad tournament. At this point both are equally good/bad signings.
Though I will admit, out of all our signings, Henderson is a luxury one in a sense that we didn't need a Central Midfielder immediately when we were signing Adam anyway. But same can be said of Phil Jones as Mancs already have 3 quality CBs, and he's luxury signing for them.

Adam could possibly turn out to be the best of that bunch. But would he get into the team when all your mids are fit?

Certainly. Gerrard isn't that fit as he used to be, and more likely to be played in front 3, or in right and so I expect Adam to get a lot of games.

 

[Kl@w-24]

^ By younger, I meant young and English centre-back.

 

[Liverpool_fan]

Henderson is also a young and English Central midfielder who can play in the right as well.

 

[XTerminator]

Adam could possibly turn out to be the best of that bunch.

66% pass success,and a hit-and-hope approach.he's only good for set-pieces and that's about it.

I wont comment much on Liverpool's signings and lol at them unless they start showing their true colors as the season progresses.

Konchesky lol.Pretty sure you wanked about him when he signed as well

 

[Liverpool_fan]

Konchesky lol.Pretty sure you wanked about him when he signed as well

If you had typed Joe Cole that would have made some sense. But Konchesky? WTF?
Seriosuly if you want to WUM, at least do it properly without letting yourself look like a n00b

So, you wanked about Joe Cole???

lol

I was happy about his signing...but it turned to be an epic fail.

 

[Kl@w-24]

^ There was a *reason* we let him go.

 

[skeletor]

^ There was a *reason* why Liverpool signed him.

So, you wanked about Joe Cole???

lol
