    One swallow does not a summer make but that was an excellent performance.

    I think you can see from one game. He is a premier league player. Easily. Unbelievable that he’s had to drop down to this level

    Cool, calm and collected.

    Will make a good partnership with Charles or Smallbone.

    Great debut

    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.

    And now we have Smallbone. Now if we could get a Killer as a CB.

    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...

    Flynn Downes signed from West Ham,
    He wears a magic hat
    We told him “cook your chicken”
    But he said “nah **** that”

    He tackles with his left foot
    He tackles with his right
    And when we win the premier league
    We’ll sing this song all night

    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
