Downing £15-£25 million.
I read a report that it would be less much less,that Liverpool could easily nab him for £14 million tops.
As for Mata.I reckon Jeffren Suarez at £5 million would be a better option and he's ''honoured'' to be linked with Liverpool.Barcelona as it happens may have to sell to buy,and they are currently in negotiations for Alexis Sanchez with Bojan going the other way in part exchange.They may still want Cesv Fabregas and will want to raise the funds,as the reports suggest they only have a transfer kitty of £40 million.This may be our opportunity to try and nab Jeffren.
Seeing as we've missed on Phil Jones,Man United fans it seems(I had a look on their board) seem to be more disappointed having signed him than we are at missing out on him.Maybe and they obviously won't admit this wish it were the other way round that they got Jordan Henderson and we got Phil Jones,as they are crying out for a midfielder.Arsenal as it seems are pretty miffed having missed out on Phil Jones.
However Kenny and DC have other targets.Sahko being one and Lovren from Lyon being another,as well as Scott Dann.
According to todays daily star,Liverpools bid for Conor Wickham is in the early stages of negotiation.
The daily star reckons that Jose Enrique could be also still targetted,However Kenny and DC won't put their eggs in one basket,the same can be said regarding other targets such as Downing and Adam.
The media do believe that this summer is going to be a very busy one,and Damien Comolli said as much in late March/early April.
