Nice one Marko. I think Carheex is Manc in disguise as he/she seems to rub up everyone the wrong way and cause disharmony with all the negative waves he/she generates

I disagree Carheex. Whilst I agree that Downing might be proven in the premiership and may have better physical attributes, he does not have more pace and what he lacks most of all is FLAIR! Mata has bags of flair, which is something we require.
What I do not understand is this talk that Downing is a better crosser and so on, surely our game plan will not be based on the simple fact that we have Carroll who can jump and Head the ball. Surely Carroll was bought for more than just the fact that he can head it. I think we already have more than enough players who can whip in crosses, whereas we are lacking a bit on the technical side. Technical attributes is another area where Mata is far superior to Downing. In an ideal world, we would sign them both and have a choice depending on the tactics employed for a certain match. The way I see things is, that we are dying for wingers, but I think we are in more need of a winger who can cut inside and tease the defence and chip in a short cross, than we are for one that can whip in crosses from the touchline. I think we have genuine interest in both of these players and with Villa standing their ground and to their valuation of Downing, I just feel that Mata has become a priority over Downing. That is just my conclusion though.
Their have been so many lnks on rumours and gossip sites, yet not many of them have snowballed. The ones that have have been proven true so far, concerning Adam and Downing, where we have made formal approaches for both, so I see no reason to rubbish the Mata links. There is something to them, definately, whether we end up signing him is irrelavant as far as that is concerned. there is definitely genuine interest. We've been "linked" to 80+ players so far. If only 2 of them (Adam and Downing) have proven to be true then that gives us every reason to think that Mata is like all the others - ie nonsense. If we wanted him, why haven't we made an offer? Carheex, Are you actually joking? I am not gonna read anymore of your posts, cause it just isn't worth it. You are either on an intelectual level far beneath my own, or you are taking the mickey and I just couldn't be bothered with you. The last thing I am gonna say to you is to learn how to read. I said the links that have snowballed. Ie, the most talked about rumours, i.e. Adam, Downing and Mata....2 of the 3 have turned out to be genuine. The fact that there are some clowns out there, not unlike yourself, linking us with Aguero and Kaka and such is not my fault and of course those rumours can be rubbished. Now, I will ask you kindly not to refer to me in your posts anymore, or to quote me as I do not wish to be associated with the likes of you. Put your toys back in the pram FFS! Looking back over your last post, I may have misinterpreted your point. I'd make an apology if I thought you were going to read it......

CarheeX, i have to say that it does come across that you're trying to "belittle" people and their opinions if they don't agree with your own opinions. Whether that's intentional or a manner that's just lost in the translation of text, i don't know. You've rubbed me up the wrong way a couple of times too, but i'm not interested in grudges and certainly don't like seeing witch-hunts. I think the reason for the "have-a-go-at-carheex bandwagon" as you put it, is because you're constantly very dismissive of other people's opinions and particularly their beliefs on what's going on. Where's Jim Tonez these days? I think you two would be in good company! :P

What was that you said about prams & toys? This site is supposed to be for rumours and opinions not LFC supporter baiting as you seem to be using it for.

You've now accused me of "negativity" and "LFC supporter baiting", in your last 2 posts. I hope you can provide some examples to back up these accusations. Actually, don't bother. I never deliberately set out to belittle anyone and I only get aggressive in retaliation. A lot of the misunderstandings on here can, as BarLennon said, come down to the way people decide to interpret what is being said. This is sometimes by choice I think in some people's cases, but can also be down the difficulty in understanding the context of basic written text. I do apologise if anyone feels that I have upset them - in the majority of cases, it has been unintentional.

Maybe its the way you interact with other users thats causing people to bite? You do have a habit of getting under peoples skin with your responses and attitude.

Hi guys, so there is as always a lot of speculation concerning possible transfers. I have been reading a lot on the net and in local media here and from what I have read from various sources i am coming to the conclusion that Downing will be signed before the tour of Asia for a fee not exceeding 16.5 million. If Aston Villa decide to try and stick to their valuation of 20 million, we will give up on Downing and turn our interest into a more serious formal approach for Juan Mata. However, if this turns out to be the case I expect the signing only to go through after the tour of Asia or towards the latter stages of the tour. What are you thoughts? Do you think that we should pay up 16 mil or so for Downing or would you rather add5-10 million and get Mata? Do you think Mata is worth that more than Downing? IF downing is our first choice, but we can afford Mata, then the Mata money should surely go towards whatever we need to pay to get Downing. I don't see the logic in paying more money for a 2nd choice target?!

Im sorry for butting in Murph, however I would also like to add CarheeX never manages to back his original point, when being contradicted by others.
