JBFC II Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Surprised, he’s 30, not premier league quality and they have better options (even if bamba is injured). Middlesbrough would want their money back and for that there are many better defenders out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 He’d probably be an excellent fit for a Neil Warnock team. A much more logical choice for his style of play than Bobby Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell ons %ages are only profit usually. If anything we will lose out as I expect some of the add ons are payable upon each year of a completed season. In other words we are entitled to £250k for every year completed on his contract. That's if we have that sort of clause in place of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there was an example in the Webster thread I think where hypothetically if we sold Webster to Villa for £x, both Ipswich and Portsmouth got their cuts.

Swede Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I think this could have legs. Colin creams over a six foot plus player much in the same way as tiny penis and isn't put off by age or money. He'll see that he can revive Flint's career much in the same way as he's done with Bamba. Boro seriously need to trim and as it hasn't worked out for Flinty up there they'll be looking to fleece the taffs. I suppose one of the questions has to be whether the old dinosaur still has the wherter originals as it's long overdue for the sake of modern football world that he exits stage left like the pantomime dame he is and takes up crocheting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyderInACan Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Surely a great move for Flinty if it turns out to be true - he will get another signing on fee and having signed a decent deal at Boro will still be getting paid off/compensated for the remainder of his contract? Plus he gets to move back closer to his besty Marlon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latcher Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 It looks nailed on that he's going to sign for us (medical arranged for today, apparently). As you know him better than most, what are his strengths & weaknesses. The fee is reported to be 6m.. value or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 We've done terrifically well here. Boro have had a shocker. So we originally got £7m for Flinty - take off say 20% for Swindon - £5.6m profit. Boro are selling Flinty for £6m - take off 20% for us - £1.2m - of which 20% goes to Swindon - £960k for us. This means we've made circa £6.5m for Flint. Boro lose £2.2m. Show's how well run we are now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 How does this fit in once the chain is broken, i.e. of ever higher fees as @Davefevs and @Coppello have referred to? Other question, was our £7m a straight fee or up to £7m once add ons included? Big difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 So, Flint, Bobby and Tomlin could possibly all feature in a Warnock team next year. That'll be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Tomlin apparently has turned over a new leaf- like a new signing for them if true (unfortunately)! They'll get an interesting reception at AG. Well Tomlin will anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
