I always love effortless deep-lying midfielders (for some reason) so I suspect I will end up loving Flynniesta.

Like Morgan Schneiderlin, but with an Essex accent and a tendency to eat raw chicken liver.

I just love :emoticon-0152-heart remembering the man, that goal, and the partnership with Bridgey :emoticon-0152-heart
 
MARSDEN, that goal at Ipswich, was there. Also he played for a while alongside Mark Draper in midfield, similar size, similar hairstyle, both hugely competitive. For my 50th birthday February 01, we went to Middlesborough one Saturday then a tour of East Scotland in much snow and home via Maine Road. Won both games 1-0. Happy memories...
 
Was always confident we’d get Downes permanently, was more a question of how soon into the window and how much he’d cost.

Before pre season and for circa £15m would be good.

As mentioned before have to see how much of the budget is gone by THB and Downes signing permanently. From FFP perspective I think the year runs til the end of June so getting both in before then and in the same year we sold Lavia/Livramento/JWP would be great from a reporting perspective
