A bit older than Downes and Flynn has the chance to become a top player but would we be happy to sign him for similar money as we might receive for Flynn as long a we get a decent sell on clause ?
Crooks is already a top, top player, Downes has potential, but was poor last season.
Night and day really.
Well that was sort of my thinking but reportedly have already rejected a million pound offer for Downes and have offered Rotherham £400,000 . for Crooks . Think that's what i read if its correct .

i dont think we will get 1m for Downes now will we? I mean it would be great if we did
It seems as though Downes wants out and is on his way out......and I think Crooks would be a cracking signing so on that basis yep would be happy with that

I think Crooks would be worth nearer the £1m mark.
I have a few friends from Rotherham and they are GUTTED he might be off, best Millers player for years they reckon, but have accepted he is off.
They are just amazed he would want to drop down to Lge 1 though.
Yes, I'd have your arm off. It seems fairly clear that Downes wants to move on, he'll probably go on to be a top Championship player in the future, perhaps beyond, but I doubt it'll be with us. Crooks on the other hand is an incredibly useful player already who can help us get out of this division and the hit the ground running in the one above.
In short, we need players with the right attitude and who are going to do the business for us here and now. Not sulky kids who may or may not get on board and show their worth in the future.

Does make you wonder whether a swap might interest all parties?
Of course all this speculation about Crooks falls down if we make an offer that suits Rotherham, but the player himself is not remotely interested in a dropping a division.

Why would Downes be interested in swapping to a fellow League 1 club with a lot lower platform to ply his trade with ?
Surely he's after Championship football right ?
Yeah he probably wouldn't to be fair, but I do think he perhaps needs to lower his sights a bit off the back of last season. Otherwise he could find himself rotting in our U23s.
