This is all reinforcing my belief that we ARE going to win the PL next season. KD and staff know what they are doing, and in them I have the faith and belief that I've not had for many many years. The future is bright I tell you, the future is most definately RED!Slowish start to the season, but we'll be flyin by crimbo, you wait and see.  that it its all over dont even bother , man utd, chelsea , city , arse , spurs , just you all relax , just make the presentation at the sunderland home game stop all the messing around of actual football , liverpool are league champions , also liverpool will win wimbledon, the boat race , the derby, the ashes , the grand national ETC Unfortunately Faz, the boat race, wimbeldon, the derby, the ashes and the grand national have all passed this year. Just settle for the prem and stop being greedy oh no because the season is over in august they can put all the efforts in the other winning events .

If Arsenal bid 18 million, Downing was having none of it and said he wanted to go to Liverpool, reportedly also handing in a transfer request or verbally made it clear he would, why would we have ended up paying 20 million?
Maybe it just makes me feel better but I'm going to say it was around 17 million !
Now all he has to do is keep finding laser precision balls for carroll's head and we will all be well happy I'd imagine!

keep in mind, english players will cost more to english clubs with the new rules coming in, so that extra cost is factored into the price.

lads lets just forget about the prices were paying for players and just be happy were buying top qualty players who kenny has picked to push liverpool to the next level....
ok fine but if they dont work there is no excuse , downing is a good premier league player but he isnt a top draw winger and i do think 20 million is a bit to much see that villa only paid 10 million for him 2 seasons ago i dont think he has improved that much . i understand whet your saying about the price but arsenal offered 18 million and he said he wanted to join us lads it just the market we live in today if say we paid 25 million for mata we were never going no if he could hack it in the premiership with downing we no what we get and now he is with a far more superior team he can only get better so lets just enjoy and look forward to the season ahead...

Is he worth £20m - no
Is he a valuable addition to the squad - undoubtedly.
He is what we need - an out-and-out winger, a natural left footer and someone who should be able to supplky the type of ammunition the likes of Carrol (big target men) thrive of
So unlike with Henderson, I can see why Comoli or whoever was willing to pay over the odds for Downing
£23 for Suarez
£36m for Carrol
£16-20m for Henderson
£7m for Adam
£20m for Downing
Notwithstanding the £57m we recouped from the sale of the trecherous Torrws and the wasteful Babel, FSG have put their money where their mouth is
And I don't believe Downing is the rumoured marquee signing we've heard about - so perhaps there's more to come

There could be more signings after Downing if we get rid of more players.
I would not rule out a marquee signing to signal intent.

Hard to see a marquee signing. But i think we need a top top class defender.
