Harry Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Isn't this thread supposed to be about Downing? The whole main forum may aswell be renamed the "**** off ginger bollocks and randy, come back jimmy 'i got an fa cup medal' milner" Totally agree with that. As for Milner yes he got better wages BUT to be a fringe player for City. I would bet his medal means **** all to him as he never got on the pitch at Wembley.

foreveryoung Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Let's see when we next finish top 6 for 3 consecutive years. Get a higher points total than mon's last season and have 2 good cup runs. Played Barry in the middle, top teams wanted him, signed Milner, young and downing and all signed or wanted by top teams. He made mistakes but he's the best we've had for a long time and will be the best we'll have for a long time He is no better than McLeish. Give McLeish the money MON had and he will do the same, although I do believe the league has got a little more competitve since MON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give McLeish the money MON had and he will do the same, although I do believe the league has got a little more competitve since MON! Mc Leish and O' Neill are both motivational managers so can work with all types of players. I agree giving Mc Cleish that sort of money we would be relatively successful. Going back on to topic, it depends on what the boards ambitions are with regards to Downing. I think the best chance this year is a cup run, would Downing be an integral part of the team, probably but let's face it, we cant say stay another season Stewart and we'll try and get champions league thats not going to happen in the near future unfortunately. If we are tightening our belts, we need to cash in but absolutely no less than 20m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think your point has too much validity, teams have got a lot stronger since imo, so even had O'Neill managed last season and next season, we'd have never reached the heights we did of 09/10 where we had a great season.

John Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 So it seems Downing's just another Barry then Not quite Supervillan78. He gave us a few more years in the shirt before he made it clear he wanted out. But, a move should not be made easy for him. Barry was made to play for another season because Liverpool would not match our price for him and the same should apply to last season's player of the year unless he plans to play like Yorke did at Everton to secure his "dream move". £20m and not a penny less given the current price for good English players!

VILLAFC2000 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 If Henderson is worth 20 million as uncapped England Player. Downing is worth 30 million. And for that they can have him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And MON knew this hence he left us in the lurch. He had his good points and his bad points. On balance, I was glad he left. I just haven't been overly happy with what the board have dug out to replace him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiezels Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 If he wants to go flog him for as much as we can and bring in N'zogbia. That would be fine with me tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care where are points come. We could have won 19 home games and finished with 65 points, wouldn't have made the season any better or worse. He sure had his flaws and he should never in a billion years ever be given that much financial control but overall, he is a good manager and it was a great season for us.

This, except we buy N'Zogbia and THEN flog him. I am wary of selling off players and then being screwed over by clubs knowing we are (a) flush with cash and ( desperate for a replacement.
