Christ we paid £20million for him did we?
But as everyone here likes to point out you have to factor in the Khoppite Whopper tax when dealing with Liverpool.
So that equates to more like £12million.
So a good buy for 6,7 or 8 million but not for what we spent?

When calculating how good a player is you need to factor in their cost to the club?
So is Andy Carroll a better player now he has joined WHU for some £20million less than what we paid for him?

I think Mike is enjoying trying to point out the general hypocricy that pervades the forum.

Mike whatever you just said or are about to say, you are fucking wrong. Until one of us says it in which case we are right, but you are still wrong.

Fucking bullseye Rameye!!
I need the moral and intellectual Guardians of this forum to assist me in my thought's

I'm off until I become a better person

tribalism

BBC has it more like £5m. Curious to hear the list of better wingers than Downing signed by PL clubs this summer (maybe I am wrong but I doubt that there are loads).

Take your pick from these: Chadli, Schurrle, de Bruyne (first season in PL), Gerard Deulofeu, Navas or Pozuelo. I'd be surprised if Downie has a better pass completion, assists and goals record (per game played) than any of these first timers.

Mainly yes.

But Carroll is still shit.

Downing is now 7/2 to make the 2014 World Cup Squad following his move. So since leaving Liverpool, people already think his game has improved.

His market value has also risen by 20% since the transfer.

i think mike needs a group hug
can we all rendevous outside his place of work at about 4.30 this afternoon and embrace him

So the TNRC is a Euph! Aha!

^^^ Are those odds longer or shorter than Will Hughes'?

Will is doing fine in the under whatever squad, this gives him international experience but without the obligatory offer from Liverpool. As soon as he gets a proper cap that's it, he'll be off and all we will have is double his worth to show for it.

on bleacher report they state, and back up the statement with will's tweets, that he IS liverpool

and he loves benitez

top lad

I wonder how easy it will be to accommodate both Jarvis and Downing.

nightmare scenario ... having both jarvis and downing in your squad

where is B&D by the way

Dubai

Think he's on holiday drinking Bintang and eating nassi goreng on a beach.

kent ?

He's yentzing until the season starts at the weekend. As should the rest of you. Especially Jeez.

speaking of which someone had better get clintsmoker out of his loved up haze
he's been nuts deep since the final whistle last season hasn't he

or so he reckoned

I bet he's got a right arm bigger than his thighs by now.

Or perhaps B&D, Pisti and Clint are having a Lemon Party somewhere?

You bastard. The image, it burnssssssssss
