I wonder why we have Friendlies with Galatassary & Valencia????? Any possible Transfer business???? Some stats regarding Downing et al: 1) 56%. Downing, Adam and Henderson created 239 goal chances in PL last season. That equals 56% of LFC's 429 goal attempts. 2) 421. Since 2004 only Fabregas, Lampard, Gerrard and Giggs have created more goal chances than Downing in PL. 3) 18. Downing scored 7 goals last season. Over his 2 seasons at Villa Park he has scored 18 goals in total! But they're not british so there's little chance of Kenny being even remotely interested. We've also got friendlies against a Malaysia XI and Hull - who are we signing from them?

Who is quoting £20 million? On the offal it doesnt give a price. Personally I think it is more like £17.5 - £18 million. Still think its too much, but the king has a plan and tactic that downing fits, and if he does then money well spent in my view Knowing Liverpool, it's AT LEAST £20m. To be honest though, it looks like Downing was a first choice target and over the last couple of seasons, we have been moaning at us loosing out on top targets because of a couple of million pounds, now we are SUPPOSEDLY paying that extra couple of million to get our top targets and some may moan, we cant win. Not directed at you Carheex, dont know whether you are moaning or not. Personally I think Downing put a transfer request in and we got him for less than £20million, not an insider view, just my personal view.

Downing is an ideal fit for the team as it stands, if you look at the players we have at midfield and up front. We need a player to whip in good quality crosses and Downing is one of the best in the PL for this job if you look at his record/stats. In my opinion he ticks all boxes for LFC at the moment. As regards the negative brigade, they would still find a reason to complain even if we win the PL!! They would wonder why we didn't win it by a bigger margin!! One has to feel sorry for them, they will never have any joy in their poor miserable lives!!

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.

Agree with you on most Growler, dont think we can win the Prem this season, but if we get another coupld of quality additions we can certainly cement a top 4 spot and give the likes of scum and chelski a good kicking along the way.
KIng Kenny will be victorious soon, fingers crossed for next season, but i reckon the season after

Every player seems to be a "£20m" target at the moment - that was the first amount quoted for modric and coentrao, henderson, jones, de gea and now downing. It was also quoted as the fee for Lennon! :-)
