No he wouldn't, he would do a Kewell and think he's made it in life, become hopeless and lazy. Kewell was great for Leeds, but when he joined us, he just stopped being good and became lazy, greedy and pathetic. He was always 'injured', apart from, strangely enough, cup finals, where he would 'limp' off at half time when fans got annoyed with his performance. He would not put the effort in all season, but then expect to play and get a medal in the final. Cise was the same. Last season or the year before, Kewell had a good spell, but that soon disapeared.
Downing would probably do the same and suffer from 'Kewell Syndrome'.
Then again he could be the answer to our prayers. It can be difficult to tell. Players who you think are good turn out rubbish, and vice versa.
Good look this season, and I mean that. Borro are a decent team with a good young manager who has settled in really well. Nobody outside the top 4 has a better record against the top 4. You deserve to do well.
