The transfer merry go round is at full swing again today. Sunday is always a day where you come across some of the weirdest transfer stories that you would never imagine. But the one today that seems to be making the rounds and it featured in The Mirror is the move linked Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing with a move to Arsenal.
The reason I have picked up on this story today is because this is not the first time this summer we have been linked with Downing. When this story first surfaced a couple of days, many of us wondered why do we need to sign an out and out winger like Downing when we should rather be looking at midfielders capable of replacing Fabregas and Nasri.
Downing is a very good player but he is not a priority need at Arsenal right and to go out and break the bank and in spending £20million on him does not make sense.
The Mirror says that Wenger wants to sign Downing in order to get in an experienced Premier League player who can come straight into the starting line-up rather than getting in a young foreigner who could take time to adjust.
Do you think signing Downing would be a good move for Arsenal?
no thanks
Well….
I guest Arsenal “Player Sale” this summer, and fill with the oldcrack or another kids again…
This transfer can never be reality because of that useless wenger
Must wenger bid for 10 defenders before signing one?
i think is not good singing for arsenal. Why can’t him go for charly Adam. Or nani
we have Wilshire and Ramsey, give them a chance to proove themselves. They both have the ability to play well in the positions left by “Home sick boy” and the “Greedy little git.”
This is not agood signing yet,Why dont he go on signing Garvinho?
Well Done, another flop. 20 million on Downing what a joke, cant even afford 17million on a proven consistent performance defender Cahill.
That is the poorest news i have heard all summer. It is very clear that he is not needed except of course more players will be leaving.
From the previous comments I see most of you people don’t know stewart downing. Downing plays a bit like Mata. It won’t be bad
If we were spending £20m why would Wenger not go for Mata. Were not Liverpool who spend stupid money just because the player in english.
i know winger he can never spend such a huge money on a player
we don’t need that kind of player for now, we need deffenders
What? I think wenge have joking maby
why chahil gervenho motta alveraz samba hazard & bence? Lol
Let him come we need him, but that money is too much.
Let him cme, think bout it get rid of fabregas let nasri play centre attacking mid you would put downing in the left wing.
nasri worth 18 million and we bid 20 million for downing? i dont understand how arsene values players…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Those of you who believe that there is any truth to this story need your head examining.
Arsenal will NOT buy Downing. He doesn’t fit their quota for attack minded players.
downing….no …bellamy for half the price …yes please
downing?
What a joke and for 20 million
It would be better if wenger just didn’t buy anyone if downing is the type of player he is after!
Why would you bid £20 million for Downing when you can bid for Eden Hazard? He is much better, and has greater potential, ability and talent for the years to come.
I would do it just to pip Liverpool at the post.
yez..downing iz a talented player n is far more good thang winger walcoot or arshvin
