Not sure how can get those stats for Downing but yes he probably created quite a few more chances than the 9 times the ball actually crossed the white line.
@ John H yes increased turnover means more money but if your costs go up you don't really have more money do you. Clubs could have a turnover of 500 million but if their operating costs are 650 million the turnover is meaningless. The whole premier league is a train wreck waiting to happen. Clubs overpaying for average players and agents basically holding clubs to ransom is the biggest cause. You can say well they are only paying what the transfer market values them at but the market isn't really accurate when none of the clubs make a profit.
