He did only have 1 year left on his contract though, which I'm sure contributed to the lesser price.

ITV just put up a montage of him, and the caption said 'age 23' - he isnt ****ing 23!!
He hasnt been 23 for about 3 or 4 years, surely?

Originally posted by Nick77 View PostI'm with Reece on that one. Also not yet convinced that Young is better than Downing. Both look like they are capable of more than they have shown in their career until now. It will be interesting to see how both get on this season.Originally posted by Reece View Post
Bale is over hyped but on his day he is devastating though. It's the consistent impact that he falls down on. I think having Redknapp as a coach does him no favours."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Watching Young and Downing on the same pitch I'm glad we got Downing.
Young is clearly a decent player but I get the impression that Downing may have another gear entirely. I hope he finds it with us.Comment

I like/love Downings ability to trap a ball.*Except Michael, who died.Comment

I like Downing and he's looking like he will be a good acquisition for us, but in terms of making 'the' difference in a game, rather than making 'a' difference, Young shades it for me.Comment

Still think there's more to come from Downing though and he's already begun to prove me wrong. Better than I thought he was.
Mind you, so is Young.
