It obviously doesn't necessarily mean that Downing is/was the more talented player though. As for Young at United, for one thing, his crosses are really helping the team. Last Sunday wasn't his greatest game, but he put some very dangerous balls into the box. Good signing.
My point is/was/always has been that Young is the more talented player. He got a bit too flashy in his last season at Villa Park so he became a bit of a scapegoat. If N'Zogbia plays to his potential then we won't be missing Downing at all, I doubt we're gonna find another Young for a long long time unless we throw money at someone (lol, unlikely).
But yes I understand the pros for Downing, namely that he's a good crosser. So in summation, Villa is ****.
