I hope that this story will be true especially before the squad fly out to Asia for their pre-season training and games. Hopefully the temptations of playing for Liverpool is too great an opportunity for Downing to miss. I'm not saying that Downing is world class but he could be the right man for the problematic LW position. Sometimes expensive foreign signing does not means the correct signing.Same goes to local signing but if you never gamble , you will never know what will come out of it. Just My Thoughts YNWA...

I think Mata would be a better buy because of his age....I know he's not proven in the Prem but he's done well on the Jnr International stage which shows he has some ability although it is a big step up to senior level. Downing being 26, should be entering his prime but will be worth nothing in 5 years time but in saying that, if he helps us win some title then it won't really matter.....Get them both I say hahaha

BBC ar reporting interst from West Ham for Paul Konchesky and Joe Cole. I would love to offload these guys but can you see Joe Cole agreeing to go to the championsip? , I have my hopes but i doubt it. Also, according to the BBC we sre to make a final bid of 18 mil for Downing and a bid of 12 mil for Bastos. Not sure how much truth there is to these, but the BBC news site has been fairly reliable up to now.

Sometimes I could swear CarheeX only comes on here to argue. I don't mind him having his own opinion but blatently ignoring certain facts Murph brought up and the further trying to prove that Muph is wrong just seems really ridiculous and childish. Carheex, do you come on here just to aggrevate others? What facts has murph brought up that I have blatently ignored? do tell..

The fact that Kenny's buying history poroves he is not only after British talent. Perhaps this quote from Commolli concerning our transfer strategy for this window might help you understand the blatently obvious facts from Murphs post.
"There is a lot of talk in newspapers about our strategy in the transfer market - is there a strategy and, if so, what is it?
There is always a strategy. It's about players who we've identified through the year. You identify players in positions where you think you're weak or, if not weak, you think you can get better or add an extra body. There is a strategy in terms of profile of players we want to bring in: the mentality, the attitude, the work ethic - and the age is also a factor. People think about the citizenship and passport - but this doesn't really matter as much as what I've just said."
Now read that last sentence again.

Now read that last sentence again. 2 things: 1) Murphy never pointed out any of that 2) That's just talk. Historically, the vast majority of signings that Kenny has made HAVE been british. There's nothing to argue about

Murphy did however point out a number of non european signings that Kenny made as well as stating the fact that at the time it was hard to attract non english players to the english league because they were mostly joining italian and spanish sides. I guess no matter how much one explains this to you, you are not willing to understand this. That's ok. You have your narrow minded approach and we will have ours. It might just be alk from Commoli but it certainly reflects the present transfer strategy. Your original point is that we are making British targets our priority, which is complete nonsense.
