sexpistol Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I cannot fathom how he got 35 caps for England. I’ve never been a fan. I really hope we don’t sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debram Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 His time at top end championship level has gone, surely we have learnt our lesson with overpaid under achievers, SB stated that he wants to bring the average age level of the team down so cant see him being considered.

If we aren't looking for quicker options out wide and Downing is our go to man, I would be worried. Downing is a worry full stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need young succulent players not withering old husks. It's not silence of the lambs Lizzie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortlandOwl Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 No thanks. Just another Boyd journeyman type. We really should be aiming higher. Obviously easier said than done with financial situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 This is a jos/Carlos signing, slow, laboured and near the end of their career, they’d offer him a 40k pw deal smh Hoping Bruce goes for youth, energy and pace. No old heads please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No old heads please Bit harsh on Jos considering he only signed 3 players. All under 27. Plus the fact he went for youth ahead of experience.

shezzas left peg Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The only way this would make sense would be as a player coach for a season with a view to becoming part of the coaching team after that. Still has great technical ability, crossing and dead ball situations with bags of experience. Would be a very good player for the U23's /U18's to learn off as has been a very good professional. For me though, it would have to be a cheap wage deal with a view for only having him as a bench warmer /impact sub late on in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 If we sign Downing, I'll eat my pants on YouTube. That's how confident I am that it's agent talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he did have such a clause it doesn't explain why they used him in most games as sub but dropped him from the starting lineup between December and April... Think the clause was based on starts as appose to appearances. I remember when Boro were playing Norwich on Sky towards the end of the season they had a huge discussion about it.

PopePiusX Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 If we sign Stewart Downing on loan, I'll bite my old chap off, spend the rest of the summer in a specially-converted green house growing it back, then run onto the pitch just before our first home match of the season, bite it off again, give it to Stewart Downing on a necklace and then die. To be fair, if I could bite my old chap off, I wouldn't be posting on Owlstalk at quarter past midnight. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
