Downing Signs New Boro Deal

For THBN
Stewart Downing has provisionally agreed to sign a new 5-year contract at Middlesbrough. This news cancels out Tottenham's chance to sign the young left winger.
I am sure Levy & Jol will pursue Manchester United's Kieran Richardson now.

Hope we get Richardson though, don't think they'll even bother trying to get him. I think all/any speculation about Richardson at Spurs, has, and will always, come from the fans!
He may not be good enough to get into the starting 11 at Man Utd, but he is for England? That'll be a story I write about another day!
All I know is that Jol himself stated that he wanted two out-and-out wingers at the club. One on the right, and one on the left.
He signed Routledge, and some say he signed Reid for the left wing, but Reid likes to drift infield a lot, so I don't think he's the left winger.
We have Reto, but then again he's better at wing-back.
I am sure Jol realises that we need a central attacking midfielder, after all, the guys a professional Premier League coach.
I hope he doesn't feel the need to play Reid there though.
Buying Richardson would be great as the guy can go past players and wouldn't need to cross from deep like Reid sometimes does.
Rosicky is the player in the center of the park that I would most want to see.
Will it happen though? I've not heard anything yet. Rumours were around that we were interested, but then the speculation stopped.
Who knows what Levy & Jol have got planned?
Richardson is aa championship player
WBA were far from convincing last season, but in some games, it looked as though he carried them through.
He's a free-kick specialist also. Something we have been lacking down at the lane in recent times.
We need top class, we have the money, come on daniel, come on martin, get cracking!!
The days of signing big names have not gone, we have a big transfer kitty, and we should use it, the arnesen winfall, whatever it is has assisted in being able to afford a big name, lets use it
So is Chelski's Johnson but Spurs didn't want him!!! I think the most obvious position is the midfield playmaker [ I wish Gazza was younger! ] - we cant expect too many new signings - it wouldn't make sense with the amount of players that we have got - some need to be off loaded but I thought that might have been done by now!! Does anybody know of an exact figure for the players we have - we have superb cover in almost all positions now. Up front a lot depends on whether Robbie Keane stays or not.
I find it interesting to read all the comments of obvious Spurs fans but why do so many of you hide behind anonymous????

This is the kind of attitude that will get you nowhere, you want mid table obscurity then you'll get it with signings like richardson, we have the base for a great team, we just need 2-3 extra world class elements to make us great again.
And to talk about why downing is better than richardson, downing has just signed for boro as are most of any decent players, what does that say about levy's bargaining abilities??
The only way to get the best is to match the pay, keep dreaming about the richardsons of this world and we'll be crossing our fingers again next season for our f***ing name to be pulled out of a hat to see if we get into europe or not.
And what difference does it make if use anonymous or not,, whatever name we're going to give is going to be false, enjoy the blog and relax your crack
Stick naybets kebab where the sun dont shine mate, i think your gooner scum, come here to disrupt the fans of the only decent team in north london.
Come on the lillywhites!!!
Big Gob,
What do you expect.
Big signings?
Chelsea rejects?

Fuck off mercenary has beens, go to Chelshit
I dont give a flying fuck what they pay the fucker, the gooner scum seem to pay big wages, doesnt do too bad for them, or man U, or Liverpool, or Chelski. I'll keep joggin on, all the way to you mums knickers.
Hee Hee Hee
You're mum wants to know what you want for your dinner when you get in?
Pumpkin...geddit?
In goal
We get the cash, we gpot the youngsters, let get the class act and thrash those fuckin gooner scum, and get into europe once anf for all
where would you play the champions league's highest ever scorer? on the fucking bench???
CUNT!!
You are probably right having watched Raul play this last season. A grat player a few years ago, but a Gooner now!
Like raul would want to sign for us anyway,
When was the last time you saw Raul play?, and how many Goals did he score last year?.
Hey, cultured, and obviously lacking.
Robbo?
Keane?
Pleat?
Do you have an anger problem? Have you saught professional help? You should as you are clearly a fucking numpter and a complete cunt who needs his fucking head kicked in a good shitting down the neck

So what's the matter with a fire , and not the reserves.
By the way like the Murphey's I'm not bitter!
Watford
Micheal Ballack!, and my cousin Geoff, he'd do anything for a Fiver!
Terry is just about the right age to sign for Orient, Like Stan Bowles, Frank Lampard Snr,The leaning Tower of PIzza, and The great pyramid @ Gizza!
How about antidisestablishmentarianismist. Big enough?. Anyone got a spellcheck?
At what age did you have your brain removed?
Leeds - Spend shit loads on 'quality players', still don't make into Europe, end up penniless, sell any decent players that you have got, get Relegated and then continue to sell anyone in your team that can kick a ball straight.............
or
Spend a bit on players that will be worth a lot in a few years, have money in the bank so you don't fall short if/when you miss out on Europe, keep looking for the one signing that will lift the team rather than buy someone with a big name just because he's for sale - Figo, cause we need another winger -
In my opinion, patience is key, we've spent far too long trying to get somewhere, now we're back on the road, throwing money at the first big name that comes along would be fucking ridiculous...
Too be honest, none of you, as far as I know, have a clue what's …
