He's too one dimensional, Arsene likes em versatile. Downing can only play on the left wing and he can only do one thing, run down the left flank and cross. I dont understand the hype around him, he's got a good cross, thats all there is to him. I rate bentley higher tbh.
Bentley is a better player but that doesn't mean Downing isn't a good one.

About you taking Ben Afra over Downong.....that's why you post here and don't coach a football club :)


And,I dunno,watched few Middlesborough games,let's take an example,against MAnU .....Downing was brilliant.....he canc cross,dribble,pass....and he showed that he can score,he has a good composure also.... If that's one dimension then thats the dimension many coaches want. He will leave boro soon,there's not many leftsided natural wingers like him around.

i dont know about Ben Afra, but i'd definitely take Ben Arfa over both Ben Afra and Downing.


The fact you even compare Downing to Ben Arfa in talent says it all really.

Ben Arfa's big problem is passing. But he will figure it out eventually.

I like Riise
I think he is quite a good player
about Alonso it doesn`t seems likely (I know Riise doesn`t too...) but I somehow don`t find him effiecent enough

What I like is when people judge players here by the posts some very questionable people wrote. And thats is what this place(forum) makes so funny :)

Everybody thinks that he could be a manager,but in reality washes cars for them

Don't worry Fred, Barkuss is just a peasant.
so i noticed

if you mean by that, that he's selfish at times i agree, if your talking about his passing ability itself, i strongly disagree

Id take BOTH Risse and Alonso in a heartbeat.Risse is too attack oriented for us,but he's still not as bad a player as people make him out to be.Alonso's quality on the other hand,is unquestionable.
