Londoner Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Wasn't a clear goodbye but one in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WECANDO Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Loved the guy to bits. Always gave 100% and willed the team on. But Hegeler and Wright look as though they can be even more effective. Both good on the ball and Wright surprisingly for a shorter guy, is damn good in the air. Cheers Aden and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did disrupt things, but Hegeler was getting a bit of cramp I think, noticed him stretching it off a few minutes before. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't give me the "he wants one big payday". He's already having a big payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't like is any player taking the "kiss the badge" approach to being a player when money is all that matters. He's been a great player for us but let's not pretend he's anything but an employee of the club if money is the be all and end all. If BCFC say "we'd like you to stay", that's where he can show his love and commitment to the club. In fairness to Flint he has said nothing yet.

From his manner and commitment after he came on I don't think he really wants to go but he is not a young player and a big contract offer now would not realistically be ignored by anyone. I hope he stays mind, the grass is not always greener. If he goes then wish him well. All I hope is that if he goes he keeps his place wherever and does not become a bench warmer; that would do Flinty no good whatsoever even with a big money contract.

He could have just come on afterwards to say goodbye Maybe there's no agreed fee yet and LJ's made him watch a game for 80 minutes and then brought him on to show him what he'd be missing.

There will always be bigger contracts. Football is moving that way. Players will want to move from £5k to £10k per week. £50k to £100k. If they were on £1m they'd want to move to £2m. I used to understand it when players earned what the rest of us do. He should be prepared to stay if no club want to pay what we want for him. But we all know he'll grow a long bottom lip and sulk until we let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COYR Just said the same on the Flint transfer thread. Spot on. Why does it always have to merge into the 'Flint wants to leave/we want rid' and use today as another excuse for why hes on the way? i actually think we wont sell him, SL is clear theres a price required and unless met he stays.

BCFCGav Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Looked to me like he was wiping tears at one point. May have just been scratching his face mind. Gonna miss him if he does go, which looks likely. Modern club legend imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Also had his head in his hands whilst warming up after Reid missed a chance for his hat trick just before he came on. Doesn't look like he'll be leaving on too bad terms, hope we get our money's worth but Hegeler, Baker and Wright mean he's not irreplaceable.

Always Believesham Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 @CotswoldRed I think you're being overly critical of flint. For me he is capable of playing for a team that has a much better chance of promotion than us. Secondly, he came on today when it was clear to everyone he'd been left out because we're more than likely going to sell him, he played that 10 minutes and did what was asked of him. I feel like the club are handling this well, I believe a potential suitor has come forward and they are able to pay what we want for Flint. I also think the club's experience with the Kodjia situation will help ramp up the cost - Johnson has shown that it doesn't matter that Flint's head has been turned, we are not accepting anything less than our valuation of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who ever said it was Flint 'wanting out'? The club have decided it's a good time to cash in on an asset at its peak, and think they can maximise value right now. Flint is not the one pushing for a move, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Scariest thing for me was how well we played without him today. I'm not saying that we play bad when he's in the team, I just mean we didn't seem to miss him today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 All I ever ask is that when a player is with us they give 100%. Flint empitimises that approach, and if and when he goes I wish every success in the future. He also was an absolutely key part of that doubt side so even more reason. Then I will get on with supporting my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From everything I've read it sounds like Flint's agent is keen to explore other teams interest in him while City would be prepared to cash in should a value be met (as with any player). I doubt Aden has literally said 'I want to leave'. Signing a new contract would then make little sense, would Aden be willing to move if we accept an offer? Quite possibly, but its different to him saying he wants out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
