Shaun Wright-Phillips cost Manchester City £8million. He has clearly shown that with regular football and backing from his manager (like Downing) that he can perform very well at the top level.
Surely Downing is not worth much more, possibly less than SWP?

Just like to add that downing is one of the few good naturally left footed wingers england have and that is probably a large reason why capello plays him and why managers like harry want him cos looking at spurs squad apart from dos santos and bale they havent got any decent left footed wingers

"Liverpool Reira isnt that great but at £4.5m thats a steal compared to Downing and Millner fee."

Yeah, it was £8m, no player in return. Honestly, must ensure of your facts before stating them. You must.

I see you've had a dig at someone, but as far as I know Steve Finnan went Espanyol on the SAME day Riera went to you! BOTH deals were undisclosed but okay prices quoted were £8m for Riera and £3.5m for Finnan.....

YOU GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!!

If you do the maths you can see where he got £4.5m from!

Plus as for Downing, I don't rate him, hope he doesn't join and when there are players like Podolski on the market for similar prices, I really can't see why we're getting involved.

downing is a decent player and to continue his england career needs to stay at boro where he is and always will be the best player. if he goes to spurs he will not look as good compared to the other spurs players like bentley etc who actually have quality. and the price tag is definately too high. hes worth no more than 10 million. i know some boro fans who are stunned by the overpricing and want to sell to buy 2 or 3 other players.

Downing has a hit rate of less than one goal per 10 games . If he is worth 14 mill Ronaldo is worth 140 mill. Face it Downing is average. 5 mill at the most

Downing seems to be stuck. His only hope seems to be to develop a case of "Portsmouth influenza". It worked for Defoe!

-------------------------
Are you trying to imply Defoe was faking it??

Didn't you see how well he wrapped up at WHL on Tuesday? Hat and Scarf, and then sat in a box to watch the game
