Downes 22:09 - Sep 12 with 1255 views | Nthsuffolkblue | Is he in the squad for tomorrow? The article says he won't start because of how well Dozzell, Bishop and Nolan have played. However, it says Downes is back in the fold but left him out of the squad. | |

I think part of our problem is we have too many players who are quite happy to be here. I would rather a team full of players determined to play in the Premier League whether with us or someone else. | |

Flynn clearly doesn't want to be here. I agree I would prefer a squad of players who clearly want to improve themselves with us and want to play for the shirt. Not sure Flynn fits that at the moment. | | | |

I am sure it does. If he is still here when the window closes, he doesn't get a move by sulking and playing poorly or kicking around the reserves. You can't blame him wanting to improve his wages and test himself at a higher level but he needs to realise the opportunity will come if he continues to play how he has been. | |

Downes on 22:55 - Sep 12 with 1108 views | TieDyedIn95 | He's kinda screwed himself by forcing a move but the offers we've had are rubbish. He'd have been better to have waited until the next window and have commanded a better fee for the club to justify the sale somewhat. | |

I don't see it as him "forcing a move". Perhaps I am naïve but I see it as him having his head turned and being unsettled by it all. I am quite sure either a club will offer a more realistic fee and he will move or (in my opinion more likely now), no better offer will come and Downes will be a key player for us this season (or at least until January). That option should be a win-win for both Downes and us. We get him for at least half a season and he then gets signed on a better contract than Palace are prepared to offer currently based on how lowly they value him. | |

I think there are a lot of players here who don't want to improve themselves. They are here for a cushy ride. Some have got away with murder the last few years. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
Downes on 11:23 - Sep 13 with 418 views | hadleighboyblue | Can't agree with leaving Downes out . He's an ITFC player and we should be playing our strongest team , specially as he adds some much needed steel in midfield . The best thing for Downes to do would be to play 100% to impress any watching clubs , I don't believe he wouldn't do that . | | | |
