Flynn Downes

[Nutsin]

"Here’s a good article on Downes and how he is doing at Southampton. Let’s hope Southampton get promoted so they can afford to buy him. According to the article they rate him highly, use the proceeds to pay for Phillips permanent deal? OR would you let Phillips walk and bring him back to see if he can do it at Prem level? https://theathletic.com/5302904/2024/03/02/flynn-downes-southampton-west-ham/"

one-up-man-ship? All I was doing was correcting you.

[Willtell]

LJC 3:12 Look let's get something right here. I corrected someone that criticised me for saying Paqueta was a DM. I didn't say that. I pointed out that I only said that Moyes had said he didn't know Paqueta played DM for Brazil. I didn't know that either but I didn't spend £51m buying him. The special prick that tried to prove how smart he thinks he is looked up that Transfermarkt list Paqueta as an attacking midfielder. Of course they do because he is now. The point is that it was a pathetic attempt at one-up-man-ship by Trundle that I called him a prick for bothering to look up irrelevant points we all know. But you carry on making a prick of yourself too LJC...

[Hammer I am]

I'm pretty confident everyone apart from you doesn't need the point explaining to them

[Willtell]

What's your point then Hammer I am apart from making yourself look a bit of an idiot?

Willtell 10:52 Wed Mar 6 Re: Flynn Downes It takes a special prick to look up shit like that. Willtell 12:12 Thu Mar 7 Re: Flynn Downes Do you have any evidence that what you have said is fact?

[Mr Anon]

"Fancy looking up facts to prove a point, how sad. We only deal with ignorant entrenched opinions on this site"

[greenie1]

Would love to see Flynn come back and do well.

[LJC]

Willtell you don’t really cover yourself in glory. You moan at trundle for looking things up yet 3 out of your last 4 posts are you either quoting or talking about you looking things up and add to that you use them to try and prove your point but they do the opposite.

[Rossal]

If he has developed and improved playing week in week out at the top of the championship he should be a great asset for us next season Likes a tackle and gets around the pitch to replicate Soucek's defensive side but far better on the ball both ball carrying wise and with his passing

[Willtell]

Do you have any evidence that what you have said is fact? Only Sullivan honours managers' contracts when times are rough yet it's in Moyes contract that he has final say...

[british is best]

Diangana was sold behind Moyes back . Same happened with fornals and benrhama. You can see why dwarf likes Moyes as he's the perfect shield for him .

[Sir Alf]

"Downes suits Southampton and their manager’s possession based tactics. I was trying to remember the last time we had a player on loan who really performed well. I remember a young Michael Carrickngetting rave reviews at Swindon and Defoe at Bournemouth? Recent years not too many and none where the loan leads them back to tye first team. Downes is a “water carrier”. Lots of pressing, interceptions and recycling the ball and helping to keep it with very good passing accuracy. Tends to play those little 5 , 10 yard passes which are key in a team that likes to dominate the possession. Not suited to Moyesball low block and counter but I heard via a mate of Warbarton ( worked and knows him from his days as a city trader ) that Moyes didnt want him from the start and Sullivan brought him in on the advice of Newman and Warbarton who’s daughter worked for Downes agency."

"Diangana Turned out to be good business, he can’t even get in the starting lineup at Brom."

Grady Diangana was got rid of by Moyes in September 2020 in similar circumstances. He’s banged in another goal tonight for West Brom . Another young player the ginger jock didn’t fancy. Mark Noble was furious when this happened apparently.

[Takashi Miike]

fair enough ?üëç

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

Alvarez is 12th for most tackles by any player in the PL.

[solidbond]

"Jasnik kenbrovvin 9:20 Yer I know that, I was just putting some perspective on downes impressing in the championship."

[solidbond]

"Talas I Mike 8:18 I have said good things about Alvarez on one occasion ,I like some parts of his game likes when he’s on the ball with time to start moves off and play through the lines for example ,but doesn’t do the things I expect from a defensive midfielder like bossing the midfield and protecting the back four"

"playing ""slightly deeper"" than Neymar doesn't make him a DM."

[Willtell]

"It takes a special prick to look up shit like that. I repeated what Moyes said and here it is - “ “When we bought Lucas, we looked at him as more of a No 10,” he said. “We tried to bring in someone who could give us a link between the midfield and forward players, and I still think it may be. But his feeling is, if you look at where he’s played for Brazil, it’s tended to be Casemiro and Paqueta, and Neymar getting the No 10 role — Paqueta was slightly deeper”"

[Lee Trundle]

"Willtell 8:18 Wed Mar 6 ""I said Moyes didn’t know he was Brazil’s DM"" Maybe because he's never played DM for Brazil, according to the STATS sites? https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lucas-paqueta/nationalmannschaft/spieler/444523"

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

solidbond 7:55 Wed Mar 6 No-one is suggesting buying those players. They shouldn’t negate the prospect of Downes getting another chance here either.

[Takashi Miike]

"solidbond, you haven't got a good word to say about alvarez, who's been one of our best players this season. stop with the nonsense"

[Willtell]

How weird that C&H have an article on Downes. Do they get their ideas from WHO? And Nagel I wasn’t telling you that Paqueta was a DM. I said Moyes didn’t know he was Brazil’s DM but nice you remember my posts. Never notice yours though…
