Signing for you this week. £5M + £1M if you get promoted. 5 year deal. Good deal for all concerned. We shift an ageing player for decent money. You boost your chance of promotion. Downing secures his future. Happy Days.
tbh Trick I'd rather keep him, stuck in the middle of the diamond he doesn't need the pace that goes with age. But if it comes down to a choice between him and raising the funds for Austin it's not a big deal. He could stay in the Prem if he wanted, but dropping a league to go home, respect and good luck to the lad.
