Liverpool Transfer News: Reds Set To Lose £15 Million On Another Kenny Dalglish Signing?
signed for £35 million from Newcastle United in January 2011, and a little more than two years later he has been sold on for just £15 million. Liverpool also recouped a reported £2 million when they loaned him out to the Hammers last season. Today, the Guardian is reporting Liverpool are prepared to let Stewart Downing go for £5 million with Newcastle United a potential buyer. Two years ago Liverpool landed Stewart Downing for £20 million from Aston Villa. At the time they were also linked to Valencias Juan Mata, but manager Kenny Dalglish apparently preferred the England winger. Downing has scored 3 goals in 65 Premier League appearances for Liverpool. Carroll just 6 in 44. Kenny Dalglish was also the man in charge at Anfield when they brought in Andy Carroll. Dalglish the same manager who led Liverpool to their lowest-ever Premier League finish in 8th in 2011-12 4 points below Everton who finished directly above them. £6.7 million signing Charlie Adam was an instant flop at Liverpool, whilst £7 million signing Sebastián Coates has still yet to hold down a place in the first team. Kenny Dalglish was also in charge when Liverpool paid £16 million to Sunderland for Jordan Henderson. One of Dalglishs successful signings, Luis Suárez has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal recently.
