re: Downing (Should I stay or

no way would 7m get him

a fair chunk of the carrick money would have to be splashed before they even took any notice of the bid...ie 12/13 million i reckon

No truth what so ever, I'll give you one guess at where this reporter is based and which team he no doubt supports.

Why would he leave a club in the top half of the table for one in the botom half??

The player has said he's happy here, the club have said he isn't for sale, why would that change. And certainly not for that price anyway.

"Negotiations are expected to continue this week"
Its rubbish, there are no negotiations, the club turned down the previous offer, so there is nothing to negotiate.

he looks very near the top of his game at the moment - long may it continue (in a boro shirt!)

This speaks volumes about the philosophy of either club.

The acquisition of Downing would be in keeping with Tottenham's policy of buying young English talent and would potentially give them England's two first-choice wingers with Aaron Lennon on the right flank. Such is the wealth of talent that Middlesbrough have coming through from their academy that they expect many more to break into Gareth Southgate's squad over the next two seasons, including the 16-year-old Nathan Porritt, who is one of the most highly rated teenagers in the country.

It's a relief that the fans don't seem to be on Downing's back so far this season. I was afraid the negativity would drive him away.

"spuds, seem pretty confident though..."

If they were that confident then why does the report go on to say, if they don't get Downing then they will bid 8 mill for Boa Morte. they can't be that confident if they are preparing bids for other players.

I think Downings agent may want him to move, but I don't think Downing does right now, and I don't think a bid of that pitiful level would be considered at the moment.

This has got to be the most boring topic around now, almost as bad as when the media kept saying Viduka was off!
There really are some thick (unts in the press.
