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
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.
CMFG (Chrissy Marsden Football Genius for anyone too young) I just love remembering the man, that goal, and the partnership with Bridgey
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...
This gets done before Monday I reckon, Flynn wants to stay here and the club want him in before pre - season.
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
