We have tried to resign him in every window. Even this one. He is very open to coming back. We need 1 more midfielder if can move Taylor on |  |

Let's not get too ridiculous - we're only two points off them. |  |

So, very much a case of you putting 2 and 2 together rather than anything definite? |  |

| Flynn Downes on 15:13 - Aug 31 with 3400 views | pointofblue | Thinking about it, would Downes' return mean we'd still be covered in terms of club developed players if Woolfenden goes? Can't see Southampton selling him to us, though. |  |

I think it is a position we need to cover. If something happens to Matusiwa we have no natural choice to replace him. Send Humphreys out on loan to create space and have a five of Matusiwa, Downes, Cajuste, Nunez and Taylor for the season. If not Downes then someone else. [Post edited 31 Aug 2025 16:02]

Flynn Downes isn’t going to come here to be an understudy to Matusiwa for 80% of the season. |  | |  |

Watching Downes on recent EFL highlights, he was wretched. "Downes giving the ball away again" said the voiceover. I know he may have just been having a mare, but he seems to me to be yet one more player who has grown by not being visible. The mighty West Ham jettisoned him. He's good at what he does, but his limitations are more pronounced than some like to suggest. |  |

Might rotate if we have both. I can't see Nunez joining yo act as understudy for Cajuste yet here they both are. As I said, we need someone in that role of competing and/or covering for Matusiwa, even if it isn't Downes. |  |

Agreed. Every time I’ve seen him play he runs around a lot, but doesn’t affect the game very much. Is it another case of everyone wanting him back because he’s one of our old boys? |  | |  |

That's fair. I'm just unsure whether he's another Cajuste/Nunez rather than a Matusiwa. |  |
