[Danny_Blade]

Poor sods.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

We always knew he would get another club.

Wish him all the best - always gave 100% effort..............

[Esablade]

Hey, we're getting there...no hard feelings towards Flynny, he had the odd good game and seemed a decent lad, but just not good enough overall...
UTB!

 

[Minty]

Hope his 1 in 5 good games isn't against us.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Fucking hell they must be desperate to sign that nesh fucker - clearly happy to continue in league 1

 

[s10blade]

Funny how clubs put a spin on new signings

"He excelled in Scotland, and in 2011, Sheffield United payed an undisclosed sum for the services of Flynn and he enjoyed five successful years with the Blades"

 

[Harry's Game]

Suprised he has been taken at this level, expected him to be League two or Scottish Championship.

How it should have read.

 

[Rodley]

A good bloke, bit wet and lacking in pace but honest enough.

He was one in a series of useless bastards the stupid idiots at SUFC paid good money to and kept giving 2nd chances.

 

[Roygbiv]

Oldham must really be having a bad time. "Bit of a marquee signing this one....."

He's better than many make out, but it was time to move on.

 

[Minty]

Flynny was certainly inconsistent and had a few injury problems but when he was on it he was very good - Villa and Spurs cup games good examples. He was also played in a number of different positions which doesn't help, but overall not quite good enough.

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

For me, he was playing his best, consistent football at RB and then we went and signed Brayford which could have been money spent better elsewhere.

Good player, gave his all and belted one in against Villa. Best of luck Flynny.

Remember him completely taking the piss out of Charltons full back, in what feels about 5 years ago

Exactly, about one or two good games a season... Not enough if you are invisible for the rest of the season.

Clubs sign players from videos . Nice goal against Villa .

 

[Harry's Game]

Hope his 1 in 5 good games isn't against us.

1 in 15 is closer to the mark.

 

[Stretch]

Was absolutely quality in Clough's first season, otherwise decidedly average. Best of luck to him though, seemed like a decent enough egg.

 

[alcoblade]

Good luck to him. He's found his level at last, which speaks volumes for the mediocrity we've becone accustomed to, and the incompetence of those who extended his deal.

[INTERUNITED]

His injuries seemed to magically disappear when his contract was coming to an end, which also coincided with him having an upturn in form. Oldham should of given him a month to month contract.

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Flynny always seemed like the type of kid who you were happy that your daughter brought home.

 

[Bladepicker]

For the spell in the second half of Clough's first season he was brilliant with Brayford behind him. Just ultimately not strong or robust enough and lacking that extra bit of pace which would have compensated.

Gutted he never reached his potential. Remember seeing him play on loan at Wrexham from Liverpool as a youngster against Burton and he was outstanding, similar performane onnthe wing to Tonge's against Millwall many moons ago. Because of that I followed him and was excited when we signed him. Unfortunately (like Tonge actually) he'd gone backwards. Shame.

Good luck to him.

Not quite mate, Tonge only went sideways

You talk a lot of sense but Flynn went on the missing list too much for me.
Thanks for the goal at Villa though.

Unless we treated the deck of a ship to sign him, I'm pretty sure we paid an undisclosed sum.

 

[The Crab]

I'd agree with that, but they must really be poor if he is a "marquee" signing.

We're we sold the dream with Higdon and Hammond . Marquee and dud is a fine line in football . Thank fuck our intended marquee signing went to Burton.

In a squad full of wankers, Flynn was one of the very few who gave 100% and seemed a genuinely good guy. Good attitude in matches, good work ethic down the right and had some qualities, he was a good finisher and tracked back exceptionally well. Unfortunately for a winger his delivery was poor and he lacked the pace to beat a man and get to the by-line. He looked quite weak on the ball and was easy to bump off and he didn't have much bravery in possession in the final third. By no means a bad player at this level though, I wouldn't have minded keeping him as cover but his injury problems made it an obvious decision, we can't keep carrying guys like that. One of the few I'd wish the best of luck to though, along with Campbell-Ryce.
