I think Downing is more the player we need but I'm also very frustrated that we missed out on N'Zogbia at that price, we could've had both.
Going to be a lot of pressure on Suarez if we don't sign a pacy winger/striker.
I have to agree with the OP. Kenny has so far made the same mistake Rafa and Woy made by going into season without pace and trickery which N'Zogbia possess. Everyone seems to think that everytime Downing gets the ball on his left peg he will pinpoint a cross right on to Carrolls head. If Suarez gets injured we will again look one dimensional and Suarez is likely to miss the first 2 weeks of the season.
N'Zogbia is the bargain of the season and he's not being bought cos he's foriegn even though he still qualifies as home grown as he was at Newcastle at 18.
If Nzogbia was scottish
