is he inconsistant because boro are crap?

is he inconsistant because he is at times crap?

he hasnt set the england setup alight, and although a natural left footer with a bit of pace and occasional good delivery - him being an england fringe player will put his cost that much to high for us.

theres better and cheaper abroad.
 
i just read a swap could be on the cards with vdm and bt going to boro and us makeing it up to 10 million quid so i think we got to put 5/6 million cash in

not sure about this one
i not conviced stew is worth 10 million but if they take both players and 4 million i would be happy enough
 

Ok, Downing...

If you watch middlesbrough play, Downing usually plays great, he has skill and can cross, he can also shoot.

However is this just an average player excelling in a bad team? Like Davies in Fulham?

He will be over priced, like Carrick, but i think we should get him, then we actually have a left winger that we know can cross well.

And tbh, dont think of him compared to Barry or any other left winger...

Think of him compared to Osman - Downings much better, got more strength a higher work rate and everything...

HAHA! To say that Downing has a higher work rate than Barry is lauaghable and strength?! Barry is solid
 
no there not...first micknick, i was comparing him to osman not barry.

And Danny, downing would be the replacement of osman if he was signed, they have the same roll, exept osman plays on the right, but if we signed dwning arteta would go on the right.

Just think, which player is better?
 
Have not seen Downing play enough to have a valid opinion about him. But reading about him for the past few years it seems that he is mighty overrated and is only in the England team because of his relationship to McC and the lack of left sided players.

Still if we can get him for £5 m. + BT and VDM I believe it would be a good piece of business.

If it means losing two players and £6m+ (or just £10m) then Osman without a doubt.
 
Downing is a 3million player. I don't care if prices get over-inflated now the TV money is in, he just isn't worth 2 players AND 5mill. Hell, I'd rather we keep BT. Maybe if we could do a straight swap with VDM, then I'd take it.
 
but look at the players we would lose, beattie and vdm

Yes i think hes well over priced aswell, hes worth just 7 million and thats maximum, but in the footy world today everyones overpriced
 
Maybe moyes is playing the smart role and not spending while the market is over priced.

At some point every market crest has to crash and if you spend everything at the peak you ain't got [Poor language removed] all when it crashes.

or have I drank too much beer.....
 
So you trade two crap players for one crap player (although one of our players may still have a role at our club )
