Spurs target Downing furious with Middlesbrough management
Stewart Downing is becoming increasingly upset with Middlesbrough over their refusal to allow him to move to Tottenham.
The Daily Mail says the England winger remains determined to quit the Riverside and despite having had his transfer request rejected, has left club officials in doubt of his intention to move to White Hart Lane as soon as possible.
Spurs are prepared to go as a high as £15m to finally land Downing, although the full amount will only be paid if performance related clauses are met.
Middlesbrough manager, Gareth Southgate, is believed to be warming to the idea of sanctioning Downing’s departure if it means he will be giving funds for his own recruitment plans.
Indeed, he is tempted by the possibility of including Spurs left-back Gareth Bale in any potential deal.

is there no other left sided players in the world?? our scouts should be finding someone else better than downing for half the price- we should forget about him and keep bale!! come on the scouts!! come on the spurs!!
I watch him every week, He can do everything you say he can't. You have made your judgement on his 10min cameos for England.
Capello rates him and you don't, I wonder who I would trust?
we should keep bale and strike downing off our target list forever. he cant dribble, cant cross, cant pass and cant run with the ball fast enough to beat any defender. even chris eagles looks like a much better prospect than downing. in retrospect, downing looks more like a player from the championship league.
