i guess there just tempting us to put up the money or go else where...

I have a feeling they won't sell to be honest having let Young go as well, We seem to be struggling we MUST get Mata now if possible

Funny how that's on Sky Sports' website, because Sky Sports News are reporting that £19m is their asking price. Also, if Downing hands in a transfer their stance will have to change.

You say that but look at Modric and Spurs - if they dont want to sell i suppose they dont have to

It's refreshing to see Levy's stance there, and also refreshing to see Modric agreeing to that. But let's be honest, that's very rare in today's game. If a player digs his heels in enough, he'll get a move. It's been known for quite some time that Downing wanted out of Villa. He's made that public from the start of the summer.

McLeish has enough pressure on him from the fans as it is, he needs to be seen to be saying the right things.

Modric will go as soon as the Chavs up their offer. No club can afford to turn down good money for players (except for City).

As for Downing, this could end up like the Suarez saga. Both clubs will eventually meet somewhere in the middle.

Expected by Alex McLeish. I had expected him to say this to the media as he is just trying to curry favour from his 'so called ' new supporters. He is trying to look good as most Villa fans do not like him to be their new manager due to this past connections with Birmingham City. But I believe the lure of playing for Liverpool will be too much for Stewart Downing to turn down. He will soon hand in his transfer request and there is nothing that Villa and McLeish can do. Kind of same situation with us regarding Javier Mascherano. I believe that Rafa did say that Mascherano was not for sale but with a little tantrum by Mascherano , Liverpool got no choice but to let him go rather than letting him stay and affect the mood and atmosphere in the dressing room. So I'm just looking at the positive side and hoping that Downing himself will push through the transfer. But seriously I do not think King Kenny will pay more than 18m pounds for him.

Clubs always say that, it's to keep the fans happy.
