Somewhat surprised by that. Not in an arrogant club size thing. Just had a feeling he would want to come back and have another crack at it. Oh well. Good luck to the lad. |  |

He had a good year with Southampton and Downes probably thinks he wouldn’t be welcomed back with open arms based on his comments in April |  |

And he was signed by Russell Martin at Swansea. |  |

That's what I'd heard as well, or stay at West Ham. |  | |  |

Well West Ham is ‘his’ club and I’m actually a bit surprised their new manager is not giving him a try out there. I’m guessing what passed between him and ITFC wasn’t good and while we are different club now, perhaps a permanent move to a club he feels home at is all for the best for everyone. He obviously gets on with oily Russell Martin too. |  | |  |

I've no idea why anyone would get a bit grumpy if they were being managed by Paul Lambert in the third division. |  |

He's the sort we should be going after for sure. Good age but also 50+ PL games and 26 international appearances under his belt. Should get him for a fair bit less than Sheaf as well who has never played at PL level. |  | |  |

No chance we move for him given his physical stature |  |

Flynn Downes back to Southampton on 15:32 - Jul 15 with 3211 views | Metal_Hacker | Whoever we are looking at for this really important position I would assume somewhere along the way MA and KMcK would have been talking about a natural successor to Morsy , not only in a positional sense but the captaincy Perhaps Greaves might be a natural leader looking ahead but I’m sure those thoughts mentioned above have been discussed Big shoes to fill regardless and very important |  |

You might be right, but McKenna has never played with a ‘big’ centre mid, Luongo is only 5”9 and Humphreys has even played there before, so I wouldn’t rule it out. I mean he’s not on their level, but Xavi or Iniesta never struggled. |  | |  |
