NewBlue Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 3 minutes ago, Chorlton_Latic said: Been wondering myself if Flynn will either be released/sold or have a clean slate perhaps starting on the left side of midfield, or maybe at the top of the diamond. Remember thinking in Jan when Shez returned that he would be his type of player, but he just seemed to be completely out of the picture once we found our solid, hard to beat formula. If he can get a tune out of him, it's like a brand new signing. Remember watching him in his first game v Wigan and thinking we had a player on our hands, looked intelligent & skillful enough to play that role cutting in from the left side, then just saw him completely regress, was never near enough to goal to do any damage and didn't ever seem to want the ball despite being the only 'creative' player in the side. Was massively disappointing given the hype around him signing, but I'd certainly get behind him if he's given another chance. I don't know if he regressed. On his day, when he was in the mood, he was almost unplayable. Demanding the ball, neat passes, finding space. On the rare occasions we played with attacking verve it was Flynn who orchastrated. Sadly that was not often enough. Whether that was down to teammates or his own waivering interest I don't know. Anyway, I'd fancy him over the other two still. Gardner is unproven at this level and Banks is Banks - talented but too much about himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with a player like that is fans hate him cos he doesnt do much for 70 minutes. Managers patience also dont last if hes not done anything by that time. Finds himself as a luxury player perhaps. I liked him when he played, but against physical opposition t was often apparent he couldnt get into a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfluff1985 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Gardner written off already. This is despite the fact he's been brought in by a man who has definitely got an eye for talented midfielders. See that pile of shit Matty Palmer! Despite the fact he's tried signing him numerous times before. Must be shite he's from Chesterfield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
