They've 12 months until they are in turmoil again after Harry sacks it realising he can't get promoted by spending money easily... Bye Flint, cheers for your goals in league one...

BRISTOL86 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I don't think he meant specifically by Brum. It's clear the agent has been laying it on thick about how much he can earn elsewhere. One thing that's very evident from following Flint on social media is that money is everything. Hilarious that people think he has some 'love' for BCFC.

windmillhillred Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 If he's being offered substantially more money for doing his job in a short career I'm not sure why anyone would have a problem (assuming he doesn't criticise City when he leaves). Birmingham are a bigger club, and if they struggle but he does well he'll get plenty of exposure from the Redknapp love in to progress further.

One BCFC Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Flint will always be seen as a great servant for the club, when he moves then I say fair play to him and wish him all the best, we have other defenders who are/will become as good as Flint.

Benni Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 It is amazing how Lee Johnson has managed to get supporters against Aden Flint.

I'll drop you there if needed. With all due respect, I can't help but feel you've overreacted here. Firstly, as many others have said, it's not just Birmingham who are rumoured to be interested in him and who knows what his agents are plugging. Secondly, Birmingham are a team that've been in the Prem, who have a high-profile boss and high-profile players, and could arguably have a decent season - you never know. I don't think the fact that he's having his head turned due to a substantial chance of earning more money is "cheeky" at all. That's football.

Nibor Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Don't think there's any cheek involved. If Flint goes we'll make a massive profit. He's shown total commitment the whole time he's been here and I very much doubt any transfer speculation will affect that in the mean time. If someone wants to shell out £6m and double his wages, good luck to him. I'll clap him briefly when he returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pathetic. How? Flint's been here for 4 years now. That's a big chunk of a short career that can be ended in one challenge. You can't blame him for wanting to move, but how were LJ's comments an 'attack'? Everything seems to point to this being agent led and Flint rather fancying a move. It's all pretty understandable.

Are you wholly sure you aren't just trying to find a reason to make it LJ's fault. I like Flint and don't begrudge him a move if he really wants one but, if he is not committwd to the cause, he has to take responsibility for that.

RedM Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I'm sorry, rant incoming....but it really gets me going when people talk with sympathy about present day footballers only having a short career. Their playing days might finish mid thirties but that doesn't mean they can never work again does it? Retrain, learn new skills, try something similar or totally different. Many 'normal' people go through their working lives doing different types of work, why shouldn't they??? Ok let's assume at 35 they never work again, surely with the money they have earnt they should have more than enough saved to live comfortably. Who spends five or ten grand a week ffs, and if they fritter it all away they deserve to struggle. But feel sorry for footballers in this day and age with all the poverty in our city never mind the world, no chance. Rant over. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 This all comes down to the agent, whispering sweet nothings... I've said it before and I'll say it again; the agent works on the request of the client, not the client works at the request of the agent... Modern football sucks sometimes.
