Aston Villa have accepted a £20m bid for Stewart Downing in a deal that will take Liverpool’s summer spending close to the £50m mark. Kenny Dalglish clearly is looking for the best of British, as he aims to restore the Reds back to their former glories.
In the papers this morning there have been a mixed bag of stories that includes Patrick Viera taking up a coaching role at Manchester City; Arsene Wenger accuses Barcelona of a lack of respect, while Sneijder reportedly has agreed terms with Manchester United.
