I don't know if they are, seems there is a rumour in Boro about it.
We play 2 deep lying midfielder who both break up the play, Leadbittter is less destructive and more creative, Clayton is stronger, more destructive, more defensive but less creative. I can't see Downing replacing Clayton, he couldn't do that job. He would be an upgrade on Leadbitter in footballing terms but Leadbitter has been our captain and a leading figure in this mini renaissance so I'm not sure how much you'd want to replace him. You could bump Downing out to the wing but what's the point, he be marginalised in games.
