Saints boss demands Flynn Downes | Should West Ham cash in on desperation?

  • Southampton's failure to sign Flynn Downes on a permanent deal from West Ham will have boss Russell Martin crying himself to sleep.
    The 25-year-old enjoyed a hugely successful loan spell at St Mary's last season where he helped the south coast side return to the Premier League via the play-offs.
    But an agreement between the two teams is yet to be reached, which has seen Downes report back to the Hammers for pre-season training.
    And Martin has pleaded for Saints chiefs to quickly thrash out a deal for the former Swansea star - for the sake of his own welfare.
    Speaking at a Q&A session with fans on Saturday, Martin was asked about the club's pursuit of the player.
    To which he said: "It will take more time. We just have to be patient. I wanted him here last week, four weeks ago even. When someone is owned by another club, and they are a good player, they are always going to try and keep them. I hope, that at some point, we will show enough love and give West Ham enough money.
    "Hopefully, before the end of the season, he will be in a Southampton shirt. If he’s not, I will cry myself to sleep.”
    Downes, who won the Europa Conference League with West Ham in his opening season, has made no secret of his openness to play for Southampton next campaign.
    He told the Daily Echo in May: "Of course, I would love to stay here next season. I love it here. I love the gaffer. I love the staff. I love this place.
    “Obviously, we will have to see what happens. I won’t know too much until I go back to West Ham. We will see what happens there.”

    We need to play hardball with Saints. They are deluded if they think they can sell KWP high and buy Downes low when they are desperate for Downes and THEIR player is in the last year of his contract. They will have to blink. Personally I'd keep Downes and buy Wan Bissaka. But if we do sell Downes there should be a 20% sell on clause included so it doesn't come back to bite us.

    To be honest I’d keep Downes & I’d certainly NOT be selling him to Southampton unless they give us a huge fee (£25-30m).
    They’ve tried to have our pants down & take the piss & their manager is clearly desperate to have him back.
    Give him a chance & if he don’t cut it he can go to Southampton in the Championship next season.

    I thought Downes was tidy when he played for us but I did not see him play for Southampton so unable to pass judgement and happy with whatever Lopetegui decides after he has seen him in training. I agree Downes in a difficult position whatever he says but was it telling that he said and did the Irons ⚒ when in front of the Saints fans at end of the season which he covered by saying was a joke as that obviously went down like a lead balloon with their fans?

      There's not a single chance we give them cash plus Downes! Downes is 20m given we hold all the cards in this game. KWP is 12-15m at most. If we don't 'win' in this deal then we are the worst negotiators in history.

    • @davidclerihew3539

      Cash from them. KWP only has 11mths left on his deal, Downes has 3yrs remaining, is 3yrs younger, Southampton have already bought KWP’s replacement & Downes was their best player last season (so clearly worth more than KWP).

    Either sell Downes for £20m or £5m and KWP. Personally I prefer Wan Bissaka using the money from Downes’ sale. Either way, I don’t want Downes at West Ham. He will not play first team and has shown he’s confused from varying remarks made over the last couple of months. I much prefer Freddie Potts be given a shot. He is a better prospect in my opinion and with a higher ceiling as a player.
