We have been linked with him throughout the summer. I've seen him play once or twice, nothing really to base much of an opinion on. Just wondering what you all woudl think if we went for him instead of Downing. He'd probably cost less, i'd imagine. In terms of ability I cant really shed any light, but he can't be that bad to be a sub for Barca. Supposedly 30 or so appearances in the last two years(admittedly not that great)

Downing is much more solid, in fact i dont think Jeffren belongs anywhere near the barca team
And i know that there is much hype surrounding Mata, IMO Hazard is the better buy, younger more direct, World class potential!

Instead of Downing? No chance. Downing is exactly the player we need and both Kenny and Comolli have established that. However I believe he might be a good addition also.
I find it quite funny how many fans don't want Downing and to top it off recommend an inexperienced reserve player, as an alternative.

Jeffrens the perfect example of a player who looks great on Youtube because he has flashes of brilliance that you see in edited clips but his all round game and end product are pretty poor.

Jeffren is to Barcelona, what Babel was to us!
