    Just a quick note on this - I'm not wholly against it or anything daft like that. It just feels a bit regressive to me, and I'm not sure he brings enough that it makes sense to disrupt stuff. Far rather we improved other positions than the one we're actually pretty good in.

    If we're going to spend high wages on a PL loan then I'd prefer a keeper.

    James Trafford was mooted not long ago although it's reported that Pep wants to keep him as his back up GK.

    The only way it might happen is if Flynn wants out in January.

    Exactly what I as gonna say! Was arguably his best position when with us. He’s only 31 too and still fit as a fiddle. I’d love him in attacking midfield

    Yep. JWP is Prem quality. I just don't know if we can say that about anyone else in the squad. He's a level or two above Downes, with a far better attitude and fitness. And of course the free kicks. Azaz wouldn’t hack it a level up.

    You definitely notice the Prem-level players. Thought Mee and Davies were very good for Sheff Utd.

    Also, he’s a leader. We need that.
