I'd be amazed if he didn't one day be a Premier League player, not necessarily saying he'd be terribly good or indeed terribly bad, but he's not at his peak yet and will either, as Costanza said, get a move to a team after getting promotion, or reaching the PL via a promotion.
Hopefully however it plays out we'll see a return.

He's 27, he isn't a young player by any means anymore. BTW I didn't realise his departure from Town was post Di Canio, thought he left us long before then... However looking for stories regarding Flints sale led to a link to this story, them was the days! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/21431252 |

I didn't realise he 'only' scored 4 goals for us too? Surely that's not right? |

I see Sam has tweeted that 3 clubs are interested in signing Byrne from Wolves on a permanent contract as he doesn't feature in the new managers plans, I feel sorry for him as it does seem he hasn't been given much of a chance there.

Just seen that Wolves have bid £6M for our former loanee Chris Martin  he certainly didn't look like a £6 million player when he was with us under Do Canio the transfer market is crazy shitloads spent on average players  |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

He wouldn't have come here at all otherwise. I think as someone said, Paolo figured even an unfit Champ player could be decent in L2. Another lesson we had to pay for him to learn! |

Given the crazy prices transfer fees this summer in the championship I think £6m is a reasonable price for a proven scorer

It's beyond reasonable, hence the swift rejection. |
