Arda would have been a lot cheaper though. I've not really seen either play so can't comment on who would be better.

i have heard us being linked with Arda for 4 seasons with no result

Hah Brilliant

Ive heard on the grapevine the Aston Villa want £20million for Downing, surely we should be wise enough to walk away from that deal and go for better options. I would like us to get Sanchez or Mata but I can see us ending up with Downing and at that ridiculous price quoted.

Maxi wants to return home to newells old boys and is quoted in the mirror as saying he will see if Liverpool will loosen his contract would not like to see him go and if he does newells should pay the price LFC owe him nothing a few good performances at the end of a season don't warrant giving him away.
It goes to show Kenny's and FSG policy of signing young English talent is sensible because once the majority of overseas players get their taste of premier league football and can say they've been there done that they head off home or elsewhere lots of examples of that and you can't build a team around that.

not a big shame. i would have sold him anyway

how can the press possibly know who Guus Hiddink is going to sign before he's even got the Chelsea job. it seems daft to me

Arda is a good player no doubt about it. but he's had serious problems with a recurring injury and only managed to feature in 8 league games for his club this season.

i am a fan of Arda but not sure if now is the time to move for him. don't get me wrong i'd rather have him than downing but i just don't think the club is interested in him and i don't think chelsea are either

Its a sensationalist newspaper like the sun their sources are what most people call that little voice inside their head and they sit down every day with the template in front of them.

(Enter big name player) has sensationally moved closer to a move to (Enter big named club)for a fee of 40 million quoted. With (Enter big name club manager) furious at the player clamering for a move. (job done)

Maxi is 30 going on 31? Its actually a nice out clause for him to go as he sees players slotted in front of him very soon. He has never complained about lack of games, a good squad guy to have around. Its good for both sides. But his side value is he , Lucas, and Suarez hang out with each other if you look at their FB and twitter messages. His value at being "good mate" on the club for Spanish speakers is what he helps the team the most. Maxi is a classic glue guy on the bench.

We won't know if its "Sensible" until we see if they pan out. And at the cost versus other clubs in a similar position like Spurs or Juve, teams fighting to get to CL. We will see in a few years.

And Downing for 20 mil...I would be disheartened a bit as well when N'zogbia is quoted out at 9 mil by his club. If we are stuck shopping 2nd tier players, then lets at least get value?

Maxi is a very good squad player. Would be a great lost if he really wants to go back to Argentina in the summer but as we know,in LFC, we only keep players whose heart is in the club. Maybe that is the reason why King Kenny emphasized more on British talents and signings rather than the prospect of buying from abroad. So that there will be less chance or maybe not excuses of 'homesick' at all. If you cannot adapt then there are no such excuses as what most players from abroad always said that the reason they cannot play well is due to 'homesick'.
If you can't make it then it means you can't make it. PERIOD.
