Sky Sports sources understand that Aston Villa have rejected an initial £15million bid from Liverpool for Stewart Downing.
The winger has been reported as a target of the Anfield club for several months and fits the young, British profile sought by owners Fenway Sports Group.
Liverpool made an opening offer for Downing on Tuesday as they attempt to prise the England international away from Villa, where he has two years remaining on his contract, but it has not been accepted.
Rumours have suggested that 26-year-old Downing has grown frustrated at Villa Park following last season's disappointing and uncertain campaign.
Maka berakhirlah spekulasi yang telah memakan masa hampir setengah musim sejak dari kali pertama pemain Blackpool ini dikaitkan dengan Liverpool Januari lalu. Adam tiba ke Anfield dengan gelaran kembar Alonso dan sesetengah gelarkan pemain ini ada gaya Jan Molby. Apa pun gelaran atau gaya permainan bekas pemain Glasgow Rangers ini perlu meyesuaikan diri dengan pasukan baru serta tekanan yang bakal dihadapi kerana telah berada dalam kelab yang hebat.
Saya secara peribadi tidak terlalu gembira atau tidak juga khuatir dengan pembelian berprofil rendah ini. Sememangnya banyak lagi pemain yang lebih hebat dari Adam diluar sana, namun Kenny telah mengejar pemain ini dari Januari, mesti ada yang Kenny nampak apa yang saya tak perasan kehebatan pemain sebangsa dengan beliau. Namun kehadiran beliau telah membuka dimensi baru dalam corak permainan kita menurut beberapa pakar bola (pindit), tapi bagi saya tunggu dan lihat.
Cristian Zapata has rejected an offer from Liverpool in favour of a move to Villareal, according to Sky Sports. The powerful centre-back will sign for the Spanish outfit upon returning from the Copa America.
Charlie signs up to make Carroll sing as Liverpool complete £9m Adam deal
Where Dalglish fits Adam and Henderson into his new-look team will be pondered by fans but there is little doubt the manager’s recruitment drive is geared, in many ways, to ensuring Carroll gets enough ammunition to live up to the billing of a £35m striker.
One of Adam’s qualities is his pinpoint set pieces, while Liverpool’s relentless pursuit of Stewart Downing — a player well known for the accuracy of his crosses — offers further proof that they are determined to give Carroll maximum assistance from the flanks.
Liverpool have had a £15m offer for Downing rebuffed but are unlikely to be deterred by Aston Villa’s hardline stance and will return with an improved bid for the England winger, who has his heart set on a move to Anfield.
Saya sependapat dengan hardeyboyz tunggu dan lihat
