Liverpool FC: 5 Flops For The Anfield Exit

Stewart Downing

Stewart Downing was another of Kenny Dalglish€™s signings that failed to make an impact in the 2011/12 season. The winger, who signed from Aston Villa for a hefty fee of around £20million, managed just two goals and two assists in 46 games for the club. Perhaps if the strikers converted his crosses and passes, he might have had much better statistics from the season just gone. At times, the England winger looked threatening, but most of the time you couldn't help but think this is a player that at 27, isn€™t going to get any better. Is this someone that is going to help the club push forward and get back into the Champions League? Brendan Rodgers will have to answer that one for us, but there are plenty of wingers out there that could offer more than Downing did last season. Verdict: Sell
