Downing talking shite on skysport

Middlesbrough's Stewart Downing insists he was never interested in a move to Tottenham.

Spurs are long-term admirers of the Middlesbrough winger and have made numerous bids over the past 18 months to try and land him.

However, the 23-year-old says a move to North London was not an appealing option.

"I knew I would not go to Tottenham and settle," he told the Daily Express.

"At this time, I am happy to stay and I have signed a new contract at Middlesbrough.

"Maybe one day I'll move on, go to a bigger club, but I'm happy here."

don't think its shite mate - the only conclusions from that interview that he appears to be making is that 1) he wants to stay up north (which i think is ridiculous with the amount these players earn today - they can get helicopters to any part of the country with those wages) and 2) that Spurs are a bigger club than Middlesblow... that's how I read it anyway.

A lot of home sick footballers about. Dyer wanna move south, Downing to stay up north.

Aaahhhhh ! Mummy boys

Agreed, my reading is that Downing acknowledges that Spurs are a "bigger Club" .. hehe .. Cool !

Haven't you gone yet? Talk about the long goodbye.
