Do not tell me that this is serious? We may not be a top 4 club anymore but having to use Downing as backup left back is embarrassing.

I think BR knows that Stirling will be our left winger for the forseeable future, Downing being able to cover LB as well as LM gives us much more flexibility, and will save poor old Glenda from being stuck in there when he is so much better down the right?

He has played LB through his career, he is an England player (and English so fits the quota). What's wrong with playing as cover at LB?Do not tell me that this is serious? We may not be a top 4 club anymore but having to use Downing as backup left back is embarrassing.
Enrique can't play every game and Robinson will be busy with NextGen and the odd cup game.
Depending on how Assaidi fits in Downing might be a good squad player for us.
Walcott for £12m i'd be happy with.
I read about Huntelaar last week. Just didn't think there was anything concrete in it due to googling it and the only results being interest in him in June.
So Caroll £17, Adam £5, Spearing £3m?
£25m raised funds. I'd be happy with getting rid of them 3 if it brought funds to the club for BRs signings.

If we need a new left back we should buy one. It's obvious to anyone with the slightest bit of footballing intelligence that Sterling is way ahead of Downing on the left. Best thing BR can do with Downing is sell him. In a 433 he'd be behind both Suarez and Sterling on the left.
I'd take 10 million and move on. Intact if we could get the 12 million that Arsenal want for Walcott from the sale of Downing I doubt most of us would never look back.

but there's not much difference from £7 or £8m to £10m so i'd be happy with £8m upwards.

Your right, i just over reacted because it didn't seem like the best idea to me. However, it may work, it may not.Enrique can't play every game and Robinson will be busy with NextGen and the odd cup game.

These initial prices are all fine and dandy but would Walcott really be worth 100k+ p/w? Even if he stays fit for a full season his wedge would surely be a massive dent on future signings especially as he ages and loses his speed factor. I do like him but there's got to be someone somewhere around the world that would cost a tad less.

I think he's on £60k p/w at the Goonies and wants £75k at them.
So why £100k p/w at us?
Dunno. Presumably because he's alledgedly rejecting 75kpw some people are putting 2+2 together and assuming he wants more?So why £100k p/w at us?
Maybe he feels just like RVP and wants to leave, and simply isn't interested in a new contract.

BR has just been asked about him in the press conference. BR said he's not speaking about any possibly signings till Friday is gone and the window is closed.Maybe he feels just like RVP and wants to leave, and simply isn't interested in a new contract.
When pushed about Walcott and the journo saying you do like Walcott don't you? BR just gave a cheeky little wink haha
It's a bloody huge difference and a great difference to see in terms of Dalglish's interviews and Rodgers's. Cringeworthy with what KK was coming out with and the way manner he was speaking in last season.
