Liverpool's bid for Stewart Downing has been accepted by Villa, paperwork should be done by weekend

Geez, Ive heard 20 million quid for him ... Is he really worth that much??

not last year but when he was with middlesbrough he shined

Thats what I thought .. Not trying to knock him and would be happy to have him, but I would have thought quality-wise he was around the 10-14 mil mark

[Bully]

If he was any other nationality he would be cheaper.

He showed glimpses of his brilliance last season but was in and out with injuries, he clearly played his best football at Middlesborough...
Being in a team with other high profile names might be what he needs tog et him to that next level, i know it doesn't justify his price tag but i think he will be a great pick up JK!

Im still not convinced Torres will be a waste for them, but it matters little to Roman "which note should I wipe my ass with this morning" Abramovich.

Hope you're right mate, we've had nothing decent on the left (as far as I can remember) since the early days of Riise.

Getting very excited, numerous reports that Sneijder and Inter have agreed terms and deal will be finalised soon.

Cant wait

City have agreed terms with Corinthians for Tevez.

Corinthians are making the deal difficult and now Inter have thrown their hat into the ring by offering up Sneijder as a straight swap for Tevez

I think Man City want Aguero from Atletico rather than Sneijder.

arsenal about to offer Samir Nasri 6 million a year to stay with us. I think this is a rumour also but its on the website so

Fabregas to Barca for 35m being bandied about a bit. Apparently the Goons have said 35m up front or 40m in instalments. In all honesty, they'd be best to cash in and give Nasri a payrise and contract extension, plus buy some defenders and a keeper.

Arse also chasing Juan Mata - should be done by next week. Great signing IMO.

QPR close to agreeing personal terms with DJ campbell after agreeing fee with Blackpool. Again, great move. If they also hold Taraabt, QPR should be dynamite to watch this year.

Adam Johnson may be loaned to Everton by Citeh.
