He's the one I am most interested in when it comes to the retained list.

He's been with us through all five failed promotion attempts as an active part of the first team squad.

He's regularly been unavailable due to some sort of injury, often minor in nature.

He's small and weak and despite being able to turn in the odd game changing performance flatters to deceive consistently.

He has attributes to be a potentially regular scorer but his scoring record in recent times is poor.

To me, he is the epitome of why we fail - the acceptance of mediocrity. He has no outstanding attribute at all. He's not especially quick, he can't claim to regularly beat his man, he's not strong in the tackle, he's small and not good in the air, his passing is ok but nothing more and though he's scored the odd decent goal we can look back on, he's not one bit reliable in this regard either.

He's exactly the sort of caliber player we need to be getting offloading.

Both he and McEveley can be supplanted with younger players, on a fraction of the money, who may get better as the club looks to progress and will be available for a good 40 games or so.

Flynn and McEvelely will be a good barometer as to whether Adkins understands what is an acceptable standard to represent Sheffield United.
 
He was recruited to make use of Ryan Frances' pristine training kit and as back-up to Lee Williamson (which he did in the "nearly" season).
He became first choice when we mislaid Williamson in the clear out of summer 2012.
It's that bit which is the epitome of why we fail, we get rid of better players than we replace them with.

At last some common sense on here no doubt If he's released some will be on here in tears that we've lost the 3rd division equivalent of Ronaldo.

Another useless fucker that breeds failiure!
