Stewart Downing - West Hahahaham player

[Phoenix07]

How big a hit would people be prepared to take on him then.

People are hating the thought of only getting £15m for Carroll, so would £7mish for Downing be a kick in the nads?

He played in 46 of our games last season and was called up for the Euro's.

We should be able to get more than that if we're smart and not a bunch of pussies. (I'm looking at the £10m-£12m range).

[Lee]

£7-9m is the best we can hope for really. It's clear he doesn't fit in and he's never been anything more than a £6m player.

Just ****ing go. Please.

[Fredo]

Flog him away to fat Sam's West Ham. He likes crosses.

Perfect player for him

Straight swap with Newcastle for Alan Carrs dad.

I'd snap someone's hand off at £8m. A £12m hit!

£8m IMO is about his value...surely the likes of Sunderland or Villa would be interested. Villa would be laughing - £12m profit for a (****ing ****) season away on loan.

Wouldn't be 12m though. About 2-3m would be addons like appearances, goals, England games and sell on fee and the likes.

Let's wait for this year's financials to see how much we have actually spent on Andy/Hendo/Downing

And you think the 8m would be straight cash and not include add ons?

Every time he plays in a Liverpool shirt is an opportunity wasted for someone good.

I would give him away if necessary, but realistically with Martin o'neil and Allardyce back in the prem, Or the likes of Stoke might take a punt around 10million.

55m on Carroll and Downing and I reckon we will be lucky to recoup 25m. I suppose its only the profit from selling Fernando and its not my money.

well lets hope the Add ons are Appearance based as we have got **** all chance of more money if they are Goal or assist based

Yes I do. For a small team he'll do pretty well as he has shown in the past and a lot of teams will be willing to spend 8m on him. He'd be good for that price.

12m was his 'fair price' before we got him. IDK what prompted Jenny to rate him at 20 mill

[Daniel 7]

Kenny has a hugely patchy career record in the transfer market.

knowing our negotiation skill it'll be purely based on assists, after all he creates so many chances its just we can't finish them

[peekay]

According to some ITK's on twitter (not sure how reliable they are), couple of clubs are interested in taking him on loan.

I am guessing we will face this issue quite a bit ever since the genius that is Purslow decided to loan out Aquilani to preserve his value. Every club will be trying to take out cast offs as loans rather than purchasing them outright.

Just so you know, pretty much no deal is ever done just straight cash, from what I believe Carroll is an exception to the rule. If we let Downing and Carroll go this summer do we not come out of this looking really embarrassed?
