Until you try them out you just don't know. Look at AWB and now Tyrick Mitchell, neither had PL experience, just playing reserve team football. At least Downes is playing 1st team football. He is also one of the better League 1 players.

Risk 4 mill , around a year of Tekkers wage on a real prospect, maybe ask Brentford about risk and reward ?. Sakho , 6 mill a year garbage, Tekkers 5 mill a year garbage, Meyer 5 mill a year ... tumbleweed. Jach why ?? Zero reward 16 mill a year ..

I bet he is well happy. Seen a potential move to a PL side fall apart, and now on crutches, so wont be going anywhere. Sulking like Zaha did.

Per Sky Sports News, Downes has just signed for Swansea on a 4 year deal, so we can close this thread.

Good move for him. It’ll be a case of watching to see if he’s able to fulfil the potential Dougie obviously saw in him through the championship coverage on TV.

We have a long standing interest in Downes so the story may have legs. Many have pointed out that the midfield needs addressing with Gallagher unlikely to return, Kouyate seemingly off, Mcarthur’s fitness problems and the apparent lack of trust in Luka and Jairo. I hope we’re not turning to Downes as we can’t secure our apparent first choice of Doucoure but time will tell. I like Schlupp as a player but don’t see him as a first choice midfield option and ideally would like to have kept Kouyate because of his strengths, fitness levels and versatility. It’s fine having a general policy not to offer 2 year deals to over 30 year olds, but surely exceptions can be made when players have good fitness levels and no serious injury records.

BBC reporting it now: [Link] I don't think this means the Doucoure deal is dead rather imo it's more likely the Aribo or O'Brien deals are off.

Originally posted by Mwncisee BBC reporting it now: [Link] I don't think this means the Doucoure deal is dead rather imo it's more likely the Aribo or O'Brien deals are off. I tend to agree that this has nothing to do with the Doucoure deal. It may not even have a connection with the club's purported interest in Aribo and/or O'Brien. It may, though, be linked to Kouyate not renewing his contract, thereby requiring us to bring in an extra midfielder beyond what was originally planned. With Kouyate gone, Gallagher back at Chelsea, McArthur suspect fitness/injury wise, we probably need at least 3 new midfielders.

Roughly, Doucoure is the Kouyate replacement. Downes is the Gallagher replacement. If Doucoure falls through, we'll be looking for another midfielder to replace Kouyate. Downes doesn't feature in that equation. Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.
