Still utterly bemused as to why Downing would even want to move. Less appearances, no Champions League, no more money than he could get out of us anyway... weird. Never mind. I'll be surprised if we sell him before a manager arrives, frankly.

Don't be offended GodCubed, but I'll put a tenner to a charity of your choice if you lot get into the CL before we do. Said before it's about the ambition of Villa as much as anything else for Downing. And I can see him being there next season as there will probably be much better value buys to be had than the £16m supposedly being quoted for Downing (was £1m out in price XD) and he's just leaving options open at the moment while clubs see if their first choices are available or not.
“He has shown people why clubs like Manchester United are after him and he is a top, top player,” said Bent. “He has played the last four internationals and got three man of the matches so he is on fire at the moment. That’s why teams like United want him. I have always said the best player I have played with club-wise was Luka Modric at Tottenham but Ash can’t be too far behind now, if not on a par with him. I am still trying little bits and bobs here and there to make him stay but at the end of the day he a top, top player and a top professional. If he wants to go and play for the second-best club side in the world, who is going to stop him?”
Don't like the sound of "second-best club side in the world".
But that's what you are? It is a compliment no?
Maxwell has asked his agent to find a new club for him. Valued at around €5M. AC Milan are favourites at the moment.
@barcastuff
Can't sign him cos their non-eu player signing has been used on Taiwo.
He's got an EU passport. Played in Italy and Spain now for more than 5 years.
Even Taiwo has got French passport if I'm not wrong.
do milan even need him? they seem to have got a few good players on the cheap/free recently too.
Gervinho's agent has said he will link up with Lille team-mate Yohan Cabaye, and fellow Ivorian Cheick Tiote. Gervinho Agent Confirms Player To Join Newcastle
Noe fee has been said, but I am very happy if this is true.
