Wouldn't touch him with yours.

 

[Petee]

No.

 

[Is it PotG?]

 

[Trigger]

That would be a pretty depressing signing.

 

[BBassic]

Nah, you're alright.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Been stealing a living in football for the past 6-7 years. I'm ooot

Could potentially be the worst suggestion we'll get all Summer

This.

Downing is widely reported to be on £70k/week at Boro, and has two years left on that contract.

Unless they are prepared to pay up a big chunk of that, I can't see him going anywhere. Nobody is going to take that on, surely?

Harry Redknapp?

Harry Redknapp?

Good point, well made.

 

[Quinney]

There's a good reason why he's on a free and it's not just to free up his wages, clearly not good enough now.

not on my watch

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Absolutely not. We need more youth and pace in the team not an ageing veteran winger who's best days are a long way behind him,

 

[WhingForPresident]

Yes, along with Jlloyd Samuel and Matt Derbyshire.

 

[Stat Brother]

Yes, along with Jlloyd Samuel and Matt Derbyshire.

Best not forget David Nugent and Jordan Rhodes guaranteeing us promotion.

 

[Napper]

was brilliant on his day.

No idea what level he was at last year but seem to recall he was very decent the year they went up.

35 caps = no mug

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I'm with [MENTION=365]Napper[/MENTION] here. Surprised this is dismissed so quickly. He was very good the year they went up, and played in the most boringly defensive side in the Premier League last season where no attacking player was allowed to look any good. £70k a week is probably too much, but £40-50k and no transfer fee... then why not?
