If Downes continues to develop his forward game (passing, finishing) he is going to be some player.
If he develops I think he'll be a solid PL player, let's not forget he's almost exactly the same age as Rice (within a week) who is miles above him as a player.

Yeah I found it funny when I realised this. I thought that Downes reminded me of Rice when he first came through, then realised they're the same age. Which is really more testament to how good Rice is than a comment on Downes.
He's not much older than Bowen was when he came and Bowen has developed plenty with us, so Downes can become a very decent player by around 26, I reckon. Though, I think he needs to develop that in the DM role rather than this attacking one.

Probably offside if there was VAR.
Also, according to him, I'm in with a decent chance of getting signed, as "I wouldn't upset the dressing room".
He's just soooooooo annoying.
Of course, he's not. But, still, he's a kid...
Oh, wait, he's 23.

Tbh, I think it was going wide, should really be an OG imo. (Might just be saying that to disagree with Jonathan Pearce 😂🤣😂)
