Anyone notice flint

[Ashton Red]

I have ever been his biggest fan, for me he is not good enough on the Ballard is too slow for the Championship, however I certainly appreciate the goals that he has scored and believe that he gave his all that vast majority of the time. I don't think he fits with LJ's way of wanting to play now. 

If a rival company offered to double my wages i'dve off to be fair!!!

Nice little quote from LJ there.

 

Meaning ' the door is still open don't let it hit you on the way out '

Does Damian Stewart make the top 100?

Birmingham are a bigger club but is it really an exciting move for him? He's Hardly off to the Prem! He could be playing same level as us against the same teams for years to come.

But what if it was for double the wage for instance? Harry is very good at spending money clubs don't have after all.

Nope he's taking sense.....flints leaving for one thing and that's money. Sure he is struggling on 10K plus a week. For me goodbye, thanks for the service but I won't be clapping his return

I think some of his performances have been titanic.

[richwwtk]

He has been a decent player for us, very much a fan favourite (my son idolises him).

However, for his own careers sake he has to leave now. His stock and reputation as a Centre Half is at its absolute peak and the likelihood is he won't be a regular any more meaning his value to City and his potential earning power elsewhere will now plummet.

Haven't several ITK posters confirmed that the agent made it clear some time ago that they wanted to explore other options regarding a better salary? 

Sounds like the agent shot his load too early and now Flint is facing a move he doesn't really want?

Flint and his agent have been preparing for life after Bristol City. As a consequence Bristol City has been preparing for life after Aden Flint, hence bringing in Baker.

It now seems to me that Flint's plans for life after Bristol City didn't feature the club(s) that now seem favourite to go for him, or certainly that will get closest to our asking price. Unfortunately Flint now finds that Bristol City's planned for life after Aden Flint has already become reality and he has no fall back position.

Fella walks into your work , offers to double your money for the same job , but you being a hero would clearly stay and take what your getting in a short career. 

Fella walks in to work offering twice the money while I'm on a 3 year contract. I'd say "bollocks, it's a shame I've already signed a contract". 

[Septic Peg]

Not ITK at all but I inferred it as Flint's agent saying "I reckon I can get you a few more quid elsewhere..." (before Tenerife) Aden stated he was fine where he was (after Tenerife) but the agent made enquiries anyway and reported back that 'Arry would give him a few extra bob... Now his head turned...

That's the way I see it anyway. Just my speculation...

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.

Looked like this to me too, quick wipe of both eyes with one hand.

Flints most recent instagram story seems like he may be off. Or signing a new contract which I can't see happening after he recently signed a new one.

Steve Lansdown says you can't Flinty. If that's what he decides. 

[Ska Junkie]

Flinty generally does his own thing after games and I wasn't there yesterday as I'm still on my holibobs but what we, as fans, must do is show more class than the inbreds down the M4 showed him.

If he's going, let's applaud the bloke if he comes back to BS3 then batter whoever he moves to.

Simple!

Like it or not, a player's legacy is largely within their own control. 

Over to you Flint.

Couldnt agree more. Its gone on way too long now, just want it over and done with.

If Aden Flint does end up going to Brum for 5m then maybe we have found someone who talks more BS than Mark Ashton!! (Tongue in cheek)

An agent who can seriously sell Birmingham City as an upgrade on us and can "turn a players head" derserves a retainer. 

I think LJ will a play Wright Hegler Baker (combinations thereof) and Flint might find more bench time. 

Would take 5m in heart beat. Wish Flint well. Great servant to the club... But Brimingham City!! 

Agent 1 Flint 0

I agree with this except £5m is too low. If player and Agent want out, and Brum want them ( as they obviously come as a package) then squeeze every last penny from them. After all if we no longer wanted Flint and couldn't flog him for some reason you can be sure he would want his contract honoured then. It works both ways.

I love the player and the memories he's given me, his pride and his passion, but you can't have players half way through a 'handsome' contract deciding they want more. I fully believe his Agent decided to screw the club for a bit more dosh and the club has called their bluff by buying Baker. Flint is now left in no mans land, but you can't have any player a mounting to holding the club hostage by emotional ( fans favourite) blackmail.

Sorry if this is too strong for some if you, but it's how I feel. Obviously I would wish him well when he does move, feel it is when not if, but I wish it was a more positive move than Brum or similar. He deserves better, and just wish that better could be with us.
