i dont understand why so many people on here have a dim view about us signing Charlie Adam.he was a top player last season,he is a class act.very good passing range and brilliant with a dead ball.if we are going to play a big centre forward who is going to hold the ball up,along side a tricky player we are going to win alot of free kicks around the box.tell me a player you would rather have taking those kicks,plus when we get a corner we wont have to have 6,1" gerrard taking them.
if we get him for anything around the £10mil area i think in todays market its very good business.
you say he would be a waste of money as he's only had one good
season in the prem,but i bet the same people would love to see mata in our team next season.he hasnt played a single match in the prem.(i'm not saying i dont want him:).
i also think that downing is a sensible buy.Kenny is building a team around the man he just spent £35 mil on.he looking for bullets for his big gun.

yes downing is a sensible buy but not for the kind if money villa want. downing would cost around 15-19m so thats not a sensible buy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HCvpk1QsaMthis is a downing video- him and crossing accuracy, I don't particularly want downing if he cost more than 7 milllion but who knows hey? It seems pretty elemenatary that To supply carrol with crosses a neat crosser of the ball may be as useful as a ronaldo type player. Incidentally its interesting that people say this video is a fake. you would be lucky to get downing for double that fugue

He plays right side for Villa as well if you didn't notice. No he doesn't he sometimes switches there midgame as all wingers do but he is vastly better on the left as he has pretty much no right foot. If we are buying him for crossing, which is the only decent attribute he has, why would you put him on the flank where he cant use his best foot? sillyness

so, if papers are to be believed, we will have spent 45 mill on henderson adam and downing. None of whom suggest we will break into the top 4...

I've read from a few sources that Blackburn are a favourite to sign mirko vucinic for between £10-£12m. Everytime I have seen vucinic play he has amazed. We need a left winger/left sides forward and as far as value for money goes this would be an unbeatable deal. I think he's round about the same age as downing (who I rate very highly) but possibly available at half the price. Come on Kenneth, open your paypal account and sign Vucinic!!! (we could maybe drop our interest in Clichy as a sweetener for Roma if they sell us this beast of a player...)

It's not about their individual talent as such, it's about what gaping holes they fill in the squad to give us the balance we need. If Kenny has seen something in these players which will improve the team and bring out the best in other squad members then it's completely irrelevant whether they are seen as match winners or not. For example - we've spent £35m on a striker who thrives on decent crosses yet we don't have a single winger at the club worthy of the short. £20m on Downing (one of the league's best crossers) would add value to our strike force meaning the signing of someone like him is imperative. Remember, we're not looking just to sign match winners - we need players that help other players. Look at Man Utd as a classic example of the team being infinitely better than the sum of it's individual parts; as individuals, we wouldn't touch half of their squad with a barge pole, yet the likes of fletcher alone has more league wins that our whole squad put together. Think "team"...
