EPL Transfer News: Liverpool to bid for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stewart-Downing-c34221
Liverpool are willing to offer Aston Villa 10 million pounds for the in-form winger Stewart Downing.
It is believed that the newly signed Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is desperate to bring some quality players at the club to increase his squad strength and it seems that Downing would offer the side with pace and vision, something the current wingers
lack if Steven Gerrard is absent.
The 26-year-old has managed some impressive performances for Aston Villa in the 2010-11 season. He has already scored 6 times for the club from 22 appearances and is expected to be called by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello in the near future.
Downing is the product of Middlesbrough youth academy, as he spent 9 years with the club before moving to Villa in the 2009-10 season. The extremely talented winger possesses pace, flair and creative mind needed for the modern wingers and loves to cut in
and take shots along with the traditional crosses.
That would be perfect for Liverpool, who lack all of this on the wings. They are without any recognised wingers in the team, with only Dirk Kuyt on the left wing. Downing’s originally plays as a left or shadow striker but has been forced to take up the left
wing position.
This is the second Villa winger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Houllier, however, claimed that it would take a lot of money to take Young away from the midlands.
Liverpool’s creativity was lacking in Sunday’s derby against Everton. The side were without the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196, who is still serving a three-match ban following his red card against Manchester United.
Liverpool managed a 2-2 draw despite taking the lead in the first half thanks to a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 penalty put things back on level
terms.
