Created the most chances of any Englishman in the Prem last season (potentially second overall after Fabregas but not 100% sure on that).

Quality player that should be playing in the Premier League (surprised Sunderland or Newcastle haven't gone for him).  Can play CM as well which reduces the wingers peaking earlier issue.

Which was like 8 assists. Season before was just 2. Have you seen the West Ham players. While under Big Sam. With players as big as they had to get 8 assists is not a shock. 31 is old for a winger.

Some of you have lost the plot if you think £7m for a 31 year old winger is good business. Jamie Ward will have a better season for Forest. 

It's a lot of money, but nothing compared to the reward of promotion.

He is a still a good Premier League player, he played 36 games for West Ham last season and was wanted by Sunderland and Leicester. 

He is 10x the player Ward is and will do very well in this league.

The view of 'Robbieboro' on signing Downing, bless him.

"People were worried about Derby doing business early , bringing in bent who's passed it and probably the most over rated player going in Tom ince, two players who no where near match the quality of the Downing signing !"

North East Daily Mail reporter...

 

So Downing will be costing them at least £13 million and that's if they stay down for 4 seasons, don't take up the option of a further fifth year and don't hit any other clauses involved in the deal. Could well be looking at near £30 million if they get promoted this season and stay up for the next 3 seasons :lol:

Not long since Downing was getting monster reviews and being touted (admittedly fairly quietly) for an England recall. Good deal even at that money - if you're pitching for a top 2 campaign and want a dose of Prem class.

The Prime Minister gets £146,000 a YEAR and fairly nondescript players get half that a WEEK i.e 26 times as much per year. There is a financial tank trap waiting for Derby when we get promoted but the answer is to have A Footballer Factory of home grown players and move then on for big money when it suits us..I always preferred the one year loan players who would not burden the Club for three years if we got relegated.
