chinapig Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Upwards of £5m means they have no idea what the fee is. Given we stuck to £5m last year before he signed a new contract it's reasonable to assume it is significantly more than that. Though officially it will be undisclosed of course.

Absolutely gutted. City legend being sold to a divisional rival for **** all in today's market. I'm looking forward to seeing how we replace the spine of the team: Flint, Pack, Bryan and Reid, NOT... I've highlighted what is the most sickening bit of all this. We have to play them twice this coming season and who would bet against Aden having one of his perfect games? I could understand Magnússon wanting to move to a big international club with a Champions League berth, but this?! We didn't have to sell and unless it was a genuinely jaw-dropping offer I don't see why we have. The fact that we were forewarned it would be a "difficult" summer doesn't lessen the blow.

Fordy62 Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Just been having a think (while having a poo) whether Flinty deserves the ‘club legend’ tag that so many are giving him. I can confirm that the answer is yes. He definitely does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Wow- that was fairly sudden?? Fairly shocking too if the fee is the reported £5m- 3 years left on his deal, very important to retain value- £5m ain't that given he's in his peak years. I really hoped for a while that we would retain Flint, Bryan, Pack and Reid this summer- financially it would have been viable, but seems I was kidding myself...

Example for any young player and I'm seriously worried about who we're bringing in to replace him. From the rabona against Walsall to his header in the JPT final, he's the symbol of us getting back in to the championship for me. Thanks for your service big fella.

I don't beg begrudge the decision to sell, but at least get a fair price £1m below the record price for a CB in this division for Chester who dropped from the premier league at the time.

BS15_RED Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Selling to teams in the same division, breaking up the spine of the team, coming after January’s window where a total lack of ambition was shown. Sadly all this emphasises why we’ll only ever bounce between L1 and The Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I outlined in a post just a second ago... - No, no, no - JPT final header - ******* scored a rabona didnt he the little minx - 15 goals as a centre half - Asking Pep for his stoney - Came from non-league to fighting for a play off place through hard work and determination - Cost a few hundred grand from Swindle who all ridiculed us for signing him - Head and kick it technically deficient footballer supposedly Agree with you mate.

Now posting 'it's done' like he knew it all along, liked him when he came in, but he really does know no more than the rest of us, does he? No way have we sold him for £5m, not having that And the annoying thing here is the last time I saw Flint play for us was Brentford, and he was absolute ******* bobbins that day, along with the rest of them. That is my last memory of the big fella Genuinely gutted about this one He knows absolutely nothing, did exactly the same thing with the keeper Henderson (in reverse). Honestly said a week ago that he could see us not replacing Reid if we sold him, clueless.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The harsh lesson in this that people still can’t seem to grasp is that we are a million miles away from being able to match the financial clout of teams that have recently come down from the premier league. They talk like retaining our best is simply a case of clicking ‘offer new contract’ when we are operating in what is fundamentally a completely different universe. The gulf, financially, between recently relegated from the PL and a Championship ‘water treader’ is absolutely stratospheric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
