Arsenal are, wait for it, preparing a shock £10 million winter move for Liverpool flop Stewart Downing, according to the Sunday Mirror.
If reports are to be believed, Arsene Wenger was interested in signing the England international as a replacement for Samir Nasri before he signed for Liverpool in 2011. But it seems the Frenchman may go back in for the 28-year-old, who has fallen out-of-favour with Brendan Rodgers, when the winter transfer window opens.
It is thought Liverpool are ready to sell Downing, who has only started two Premier League games so far this season, and are reportedly keen on signing Theo Walcott, who only has six months left to run on his contract, from The Gunners.
The Merseyside club may try to utilize Arsenal’s interest in Downing in order to land Walcott this January.
So would Downing be a good acquisition for Arsenal in January? Two words come to mind – hellllll no!
If he can’t get into the current Liverpool team then how the hell is he going to get into ours?
I truly hope this is nothing more than a rumour because if I see Downing arrive at The Emirates this winter then we are officially going backwards as a club.

‘If he can’t get into the current Liverpool side how the hell is he going to get into ours’ funny I have been asking the reverse of Walcott.
Your welcome to him lol @ £10m we’d even be happy with a straight swap for Walcott
Wenger will not move for him for £1M pounds or even for free talkless of moving for him of £10M.
Stupid rumour.
We need a another striker we are so short on potions its a joke. West brom have a better attack force then we do and were supossed to be the top team
It might be true, Wenger’s gone mad and should be carted off to the funny farm as soon as possible.
it aint a joke.
this is the kind of players and price we as a club get. and probs huntelar aswel but thats becouse his contract ends and we can offer his 6m price.
we do lack amdition
apparenty we have alot of money
but we dont.
the board dose.
hats off to the board who are the richest people in football..and that gazides his also got a pay rise….for all the hard work his done is selling our best players and making money for the board members.
it’s a stupid rumour created by hacks at daily mail who are s*uds supporters
Since he comes cheap, Wenger could be thought to be interested after all, Wenger likes cheap players. Howver, this time, I can’t see it happen.
only average teams get average players
I think Wenger is the most stupid creature ever in the universe. I hate him. coward!! and nonsense
Disgraceful Gooner’s, Wengers been the greatest manager in your history and this is the way you repay him wind your knecks in, without him you would be nowhere.
Becareful what you wish for you may get your wish and end up with Avram Grant lol
YNWA
zahid..we support Arsenal FC and not arsene FC.. if u love him so much go create Arsene Fc and be a fan instead of the loserfools
It’s sad when Liverpool fans show more respect than our own ones. Gtfo Zahid you disgusting turd, go support City where there is no loyalty or respect. Regardless of what you think of Wenger these days, show some admiration for the man who set up Arsenal’s long term financial success for years to come.
