I know this will annoy a fair few , but I’m going to say / suggest it anyway. 19:02 - Sep 1 with 2456 views | ArnieM | Downes clearly wants to leave this Club. He has no further interest in remaining a Town player. Fine, that’s his prerogative. However he is contracted to this Club ( and was very happy to sign on the dotted line when it was offered and was no doubt an improved contract). He has shown no loyalty and wants away at the first sniff of another Club taking hard interest in him. But business works both ways young man. This Club wants a good deal too. And I hope we get it . However , Downes having nailed his colours to the post, IMO, now should no longer expect to be first choice in our midfield. Frankly I’d bring the likes of Dobra into the squad and let him have a chance. Play the otter MF’ers we have such as Bishop, Huws, Dozzell and demote Downes to the reserves . It was his choice to turn his back on this Club. Do he can twiddle his things until we get a deal we want . Loyalty works both ways . As soon as we were relegated , he was always going to jump ship. Cue the down arrows: |  |

The likes of Dobra and El Mizouni are likely to give everything as does, for all the criticism he gets, Skuse. If we have playing turning up not giving it their all it doesn’t set a good example and this will obviously affect the rest of the first team squad. |  |

This would hopefully incentivise him to work hard at his game plus give him regular exposure to potential buyers, increasing his value. Those saying they wouldn't play him because of 'disloyalty' want looking at. |  |

He would want to play well in order to boost his value and earning potential. |  |
