Comments on: Spurs set to tie up Downing in 12m deal? http://soccerlens.com/spurs-set-to-tie-up-downing-in-12m-deal/17756/ Football News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:17:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Midland Smoggie http://soccerlens.com/spurs-set-to-tie-up-downing-in-12m-deal/17756/#comment-107837 Midland Smoggie Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:18:09 +0000 http://soccerlens.com/?p=17756#comment-107837 Your assertion that Spurs have more chance of playing in Europe than Boro is wishful thinking. Spurs are a middle ranking club and offer no greater opportunity than he currently has at Middlesbrough, but without the draw that (1) it's his hometown club (2) it's the club that trained and nurtured his talent (3) the club don't want to or need to sell. If you were talking about Arsenal, Chelsea or Man U, or some other big European club, that might be hard for Downing to turn down, but Tottenham - I don't think so.
