Rumour of the Day - Downing to Spurs?
It's time to blow away the cobwebs by opening the January transfer window, and there have already been a few movers and shakers.
Man United have signed Toran Tosic and Adem Ljajic from Partizan Belgrade.....only to loan Ljajic straight back to his club, and Wayne Bridge has left Chelsea to join the blue half of Manchester.
But today's transfer rumour is about Middlesbrough's Stewart Downing. The Press Association say that the England winger is expected to put in a transfer request today with Spurs maintaining their interest in the England winger.
However a £6million offer from Spurs has been called "derisory" by middlesbrough as Downing only signed a new 5 year deal 11 months ago, and their owner Steve Gibson has said that he's not for sale.
But can you keep a player whose head has been turned? Villa would say so, they kept their captain Gareth Barry.

Downing Street too hot, Spurs?
What are football contracts worth nowadays?. Scrub that. Any contract with these over hyped prima donnas of sport and celebrities?
What was the length of the one Downing and his supposed agent signed? 5 years was it?
He has served 11 months only so far? If they had their own sort of dictionary - the word loyalty would have been removed for lack of usage.
