KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum New link regarding Stewart Downing

Linked with us. Due to the recent reports that he is requesting a move away from Middlesborough!

One question... Babel or Downing?

Babel for me.

for the left wing, I would say Riera is better than both of them.


Babel is better down the middle, drifting wide when needed.

i am not a fan of downing - boro's back up left winger (i think his name is adam johnson but im not 100% sure) is going to be a better player imo

I like Downing. But I prefer Babel, even though he has not proved anything in a liverpool shirt yet. I just always think back to the Derby game last season, and that babel goal was simply class. We know he will become into a fantastic player.

If we go for Downing it will just be because we don't have the funds for someone like Silva. Good player but not top class. Would rather we kept the money till the summer and get the quality on the left to assist Riera.




.......Hey there's this guy playing in Turkey....Harry Kewell I think is his name.......could be good for the left side!

HAHA He has had his chance and there is no room for him anymore.

Downing can play only on the left while Babel offers more options. I'll keep Babel over Downing as we already have Reira who's far better than these two... (never thought I'll say this when we signed him!!!)

downing plays regularly on the right for boro

I dont think we've got the funds to go for anyone - I reckon max £5 million, so maybe Heskey- and the £12 million Boro want is way beyond our spending, unless we sell someone.
