As back up for Matusiwa next season? Assuming Saints don't go up.

I'd much rather we go for Aidan Morris if boro don't go up

Flynn really pushed for a move away once so now we are in a much stronger position than those days i wouldn't go for someone who wanted out

Not for me. Not sure anyone would be talking about him as a potential target if he hadn't played for us before. Think we need better quality than him too.

As much as I love azor. I do think he will become the back up to a new signing.

Let's hope our recruitment team have a bigger reach than signing ex players.

Indeed, he would be one of few in the current crop who could start some games in the PL with a degree of confidence.

Me neither. He just doesn’t impress me. Add in his lack of discipline and that he couldn’t wait to get away from here its a ‘good luck, have a great career’ from me. He isn’t good enough for the EPL anyway.

I don’t understand this liking for ex players. They are gone. History. Move on.

No. He is a good Championship player.

We need to sign players who will improve our current first team; not players as back-up to our current first team. We need better players and maybe Matusiwa will be back-up.

No way, can't understand what you see in him. Rather have Cajuste or Taylor.

Aidan Morris is the perfect player to sign if we are down by January to go back up again, and so on and so forth. There is a pattern forming here.

We NEED proper premier league / European Cups level players to stay up this time and lots of them.

Firstly, Southampton are favorites to go up, secondly, why does this keep getting revisited? With ten of millions flowing through the club there are better answers around than Flynn Downes. Can we broaden our horizons a little bit. Seems such a lazy target really and another player that just recently spent a year in the PL and got relegated.

And rather than a back up for Azor, I would have thought he could do a job in the more advanced role alongside him.

But I rather doubt that he would want to come back even if we wanted him.

I know nothing about him, despite being at both games, because I rarely know who the opposition players are. But 0 goals from 57 shots and an xG over 3 doesn't suggest he has an eye for goal.

It would nice if we could sign a midfielder who chips in with more than the odd goal.

And a year with an established PL team in West Ham, and got moved on, before ending up back in the Championship. Suggests this is probably his level.

I dont think hes that underrated. Theres been plenty of opportunities for clubs to go in for him yet hes still at Southampton.

For a champ side hes fine.. but not a prem player imo.

No individual player gets relegated, it's teams that get relegated.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Divides opinion now but he's a really good player who knows the club and would settle in very quickly.

I think we will have other targets but I'd be absolutely fine bringing Downes back. He's a quality player who will always be a bit underrated because of they type of defensive neat and tidy player he is.

If shopping in the championship I'd have Morris right up there on the list. Suspect we will be looking in Europe or further this window.

iIt keeps getting brought up because McKenna tried to sign him in the summer of 2024 and January 2025, so he obviously rates him.

Can't blame anyone for wanting out under Evans.

I dont think hes not a good player but he’s playing at the level now that hes basically always played at. No other PL or new promoted team has taken him off Soton. Im looking for strength and power in the midfield or someone that can do lots more with the ball like but not necessarily HH.
