To be fair, the guy has pretty much admitted his error... no need to rub salt into the wounds
I'm not rubbing it in at all..... i'm pouring it on!
Anyone who has an opinion that is so far from reality should be ridiculed and stoned to death!
Well maybe not stoned to death but he certainly deserves a ribbing!
Downing is better than you give him credit for. Or you're bigging Nani up too much. Either way they are much closer than you make out.
"Either way they are much closer than you make out."
Its like comparing chalk and cheese!
They are not close in any sense of the word.
Nani is technially better, scores more assists more, creates more chances, is faster, i can not think of one aspect of Downings game that is better than Nani's.
I was thinking about this article too.
How anyone can say Downing is as good Nani is beyond me
How many years has Nani been at his club?

-----------------
Downling is a good player who will do well for Liverpool
Nani has far more technical abilty and will be in the top 5 players in the world withinh 18 months if he continues to mature in the right way
On his day, nani is virtually unplayable whereas the same could never be said of Downing.
Downing ia a quality player but nani is becomong world class and it worth twice at least the 15m valuation one Liverpool fan gace him

----------------------------------
Why does that matter? We are talking about Downing throughout his career - not just his time at Liverpool.
So why not talk about Nani throughout his career????
Throughout Nani's career he has really been hit & miss. Its only been these past 2 seasons that he has maintained some form.
Same can be said for Downing, last season he maintain form throughout the season. Lets see if he can keep it going for this season as well?
Downing is 4 years older than Nani!
Look this isn't a Utd Liverpool thing, i just find it amazing that people would compare someone like Downing with Nani.
Nani is light years ahead of Downing in every department apart from age!

Be honest
What do you think Nani would fetch if he was sold now?

I agree that Nani has really only delivered for the last 2 seasons. But I do feel that a contributing factor is that he has often been played out of position.
However, he has always had more raw talent than Downing and now he is adding consistency. We should also consider that Downing as about 2.5 years older. In another 2/3 seasons Nani could possibly be one of the top 5 players in the world.
I thought the stats on Sky yesterday were interesting - after 100 he is actually doing better than Ronaldo was after 100 appearances. Very similar playing time in terms of minutes, same number of goals, but Nani had almost twice as many assists. If he continues to progress then he will be a world class player in his prime. He may even prove to be world class this season if he maintains his performance level. Downing will never be in that class.

Alberts valuation -
£30m minimum... but considering average players like Carroll went for £35m i think it'll be closer to the £40m mark!

We wouldnt sell him to an english club. Barca nor madrid dont really need him.
But maybe madrid would buy him. Either that or the milan clubs. No one else could afford him.
About 35-40.

I highly doubt Downing is light years away from Nani in age. As you said its only 4.
Im just on the wind up guys. I have said it since 2009/10 season that Nani is the best winger in the league but cool down on the hype. That whole Utd team is in good form atm and fair play to them. Its when he & Utd are form that you should really be judging him because he wont fight when the chips are down, like Rooney
"I highly doubt Downing is light years away from Nani in age. As you said its only 4."
In football terms 4 years is a long time
Ok well downing an nani are only two years apart, well they will be when nani turns 25 in novemeber.
