Even though it's you that keeps turning it into a Willo thread

With the greatest of respect, I believe I have the right to post a rebuttal of the accusations which are a 'Country mile' wide of the actualite and are laughable in the extreme.

It is actually me who has tried to steer the debate towards the subject matter and with this in mind I will NOT respond to any posts on here which have me at the forefront of the debate. If minded to do so I will only post in relation to Flynn Downes and ignore some of the off-piste balderdash.

Have an enjoyable weekend everybody!

I'm just curious. Why do people believe dazza is genuine. Hes been wrong in the last few windows. It has been obvious for weeks we would sign eze, and everyone else hes talked about is freely available on the internet. Just seems bizarre to me that everyone was saying well done to him when we signed eze, when it's probably the first thing hes got right....each to their own I guess. Personally I prefer Willos posts.

As I have said before I do not frequent social media so I find Dazza’s posts informative. People do not have to believe he is genuine but I am inclined too.
I may ask why do people believe Mattteo is genuine in his knowledge of European football, everything he posts “is out there somewhere” apart from his own opinions, which he is entitled to have.
My son has just completed a scouting course and has had access to games worldwide, so he could produce a list of players suitable for Palace, if he so wished, but I would not expect everyone on here to believe him.

So with that in mind, I'll repeat my earlier post and say that I hope we make another bid for this young prospect and what about loaning him back to Ipswich to help with their promotion push? I will add that that should reduce the up-front capital sum required to buy him.

Flynn Downes is no stranger to yellow cards having collected 11 last season.

Personally I will believe he is genuine when he comes up with a target that is not on the internet, there must be targets were looking at that the papers dont know about? But that's just me. Not sure you can compare him to Matteo. He doesn't claim to be ITK, just comes up with loads of players he thinks would be good buys. Which he obviously takes a long time doing and I must admit I find it interesting

Fully agree. This would be the best way of enticing them to accept a lower offer imo.

Good call, I know that loans are somewhat limited between clubs. But we could possibly offer them other players as well. If they wanted BP or the Scottish lad we got last season for example. It would be good for our young prospects to get 1st team football and some of our better ones should be able to help them. I think the EFL lets up to four players be loaned from one club.

Good shout about Scott Banks

Fair enough, we all have our own opinions.

Flynn Downes by his own admission would like to be more of a goalscorer.He has been no stranger to 'Yellows' this season but has said himself he would not wish to remove the 'Fire' from his game, just control it more.

The ITK person that you are referring to passes on information that he has been told whereas many of Willo's contributions to Transfer Talk are to inform us that he knows what's going on but isn't going to tell us and if that isn't attention seeking then I don't know what is


Furthermore...Initially Willo said he would keep his council on the transfer threads and we breathed a sigh of relief believing In the time honoured saying that ‘if you’ve nothing to say then say nothing’.

Then the only thing mentioned about the Eze potential signing, after dazza posted the updates, was to be told FIVE TIMES how (standby for groundbreaking insight) ‘transfers are not always straightforward and can sometimes be complex’ and to quote ‘many a slip twixt cup and lip’.

However as soon as the transfer was confirmed Willo was along to state that he had been ITK all along and that he can corroborate that dazza’s updates were all correct....Give me strength!

It never ceases to amaze how many things Willo can confirm he knew...once they’ve been announced!

My comments were made, NOT to elevate me on to any pantheon of the greats but in support of Dazza who had been subjected to criticism as I have been in the past and continue to receive so I know all about it!
For the record I never specifically stated I was "ITK", so such an accusation is incorrect.

I am a humble chap not filled with any self-importance at all and often my comments are mis-construed.
Let's get back to discussing Flynn Downes.

Leave it off please. There are many more annoying people on Holsmesdale than Willo.

That's a good idea. He needs competitive experience
