The Journalist Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 This signing will see us flirt with 3-5-2 again, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not be the best footballer but his defensive qualities and ability at corners compensates for this. If the rest of the team are "cultured", all he has to do when he get the ball is pass it to them and let them get on with it. and in the meantime win virtually every header and score a few. The post suggesting Flint could be on his way out completely baffled me. Sometimes, I really think we get ahead of ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Flint's just about the finished article, this kid has only played a few senior games so won't be much of a threat until he's been with us a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint has been outstanding for the past three seasons, just about every team in the Championship would be more than happy to sign him up. I really hope Flint is going nowhere.

I don't doubt Flint's ability at all but you'd have expected a back-up to be signed for right-centre rather than someone with so much potential.

jambodinho Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Has anyone watched the video on YouTube of his debut against Lille? He assisted his team's goal, then was at fault for 2 of Lille's 3 goals. He was only 17 at the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want the squad to get better then you need to sign better players or players with the potential to push and overtake whoever has the shirt at the moment. We have to get out of this mindset. If we don't keep progressing we'll go backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombie Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Great name for a centre half. He shares half of it with my all time favourite City centre half, the other half with England's greatest ever centre half, if not greatest player. With a name like that he already has my hopes up that he could be something very special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 So signed on a three year deal, seems an excellent piece of business if the £1.5m fee is to be believed, similar price to O'Dowda and again a player who we can develop and potentially sell on/stay with us. Competition for Flint and ability to play right back, french speaking and has captained England U19's, exciting prospect all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh huh, or he's ready already and signing someone of his obvious calibre could be the first sign in getting ready for a post-Flint world. I don't know, but it is possible, like I said.

BCFC_Dan Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I'm not sure we will see a return to 3-5-2 regularly but it's not necessarily a bad thing if they do adopt it. The formation and tactics that Cotterill used were completely appropriate when we had better players than the rest of the division and could expect to dominate possession. They were completely inappropriate in the division above when it was harder to dominate possession and any mistakes were instantly punished by the opposition. Now we have some better players than we did a year ago and a much better understanding of the division. We're not in a position to dominate games against every team but we will come up against some who have inferior players and in those games 3-5-2 would provide a different option. So long as its used appropriately it's not a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
