Stewart Downing - West Hahahaham player

[Mostar]

Given number # 19 apparently

@dom_campbell
Downing has completed his move to #LFC and will wear the number 19 shirt.

The writing was on the wall and it also appeared on the paperwork submitted to Villa yesterday afternoon, when Downing submitted a formal transfer request. Neither Gareth Barry nor James Milner had felt the need to take that course of action. Villa were left with little option. After all, what is there to be gained from holding on to a player against his will?

I've generally seen this as being a good thing to do as a leaving player, at least the club gets more of the money. Both Barry and Milner were haggling for moves and IMO the fact that they didn't have the honesty to put it in writting is more of an indictment than doing so.

You haven't posted six months later that we've agreed a fee for Downing yet! Tits on a ****ing bull!

Standards are slipping, sunshine.

Fantastic!! Imagine the look on manure fans faces if/when we get our number 19 after the way they're laughing at his signing.

The ironing will be sweet in my ears.

There seems to be a **** load of rubbish songs flying around so I think I should sort it out by adding a****ter one

(Sugar We're Going Down by Fall Out Boy)

"We've Stewart Down-ing running around in our ground,
He plays on the left he's our winger,
Puts the ball in the box like a bullet,
For Carrol and Suarez so cross it or pull it"

Sorry.

This will no doubt be a mumbling effort with everone trying to grasp the impossible tempo to fit the tune and lyrics - back to the drawaing board then...

He does yeah, but don't all wingers. They all wanna play more centrally and be more involved. Villa fans on Twitter and the one I know reckon he's far better out wide.

If only we could sign a player that is happy to stay out wide and doesn't think his best position is central...

Pennant.

Few more picks of Downing arriving at Melwood today

[JohnDoe]

He looks chuffed to bits.

[BigChief]

I don't like the way he's cutting in to the right in the second picture. So much for a wingman.

It's been photoshopped.

He was as happy as he was when he held an LFC scarf aloft.
