The bloke was fantastic for us that should never be forgotten. I would never denigrate AF, he did a great job for us and always gave 100%. It's worked out well all round...........Flint gets his second fat signing on fee in 12 months, we make another profit, and if AF hadn't left we may have not signed the best defender in the Championship. Strange that it is reported in the very ordinary Bristol Post that Cardiff fans are baiting us regarding Flints arrival, have they not seen our back four? It would be hard to improve on it, I'm very happy with how we stand at the back, although up front, I'd have Bobby back in a flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City_pete1 Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Lacking a bit of respect there (photo, not signing which I could forgive) - he knew it was meant to wind us up. Deserves the same level of respect when he comes back to AG. I wouldn’t have wanted him back as I think we have better players, however. modern day footballer, no class!

Silvio Dante Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 The question I ask myself is that if we did sell Webster, would a 30 year old with no resale value in a few years who had Flints qualities and flaws make me satisfied or disappointed as a replacement, and would I consider him good enough for a promotion chasing side? The answer is i’d be disappointed, and I wouldn’t consider him good enough for top six at this level - particularly when Cardiff’s remainder of first eleven is weaker than Boros last year. So, I would say a promotion rival has spent a fair chunk of money on a defender who’s probably a mid table player in their side at this level, as opposed to someone who will drag them up. They’ve also got him until he’s 33 on probably decent wages so if they don’t go up it’s a drain on finances. In effect, they’ve signed a player who we wouldn’t re-sign (no reflection on his time here), and have not pushed themselves closer to promotion through it. On that basis, it’s probably not something to be worried about - it’s a job for the bloke after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice guy with great sense of humour and because of that became fans favourite but limited in terms of footballing ability. Very much a 1970s ‘head it and kick it’ CB but despite his limitations he’s done pretty well for himself. Always gave his all tho but so do lots of players. City have a very talented replacement for Flint in Webster. The guy has everything, pace, quick feet, good in the air - can you imagine Flint bringing the ball out as Webster does? Webster is the best CB I’ve seen in a City shirt in over 50 years. Top class! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodjias Wrist Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 I'm sure all their players participate in this but ah well we would do the same. For some reason I'm not bothered like many on here. Haven't considered it a proper rivalry since the Wilson days and early GJ days. Still if Cardiff don't go up they will revert to getting 14k a week at home again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Can’t say I’m hugely bothered about this. Flint was a great servant for us, a decent player and he was a key part of an upward period in our history. But I always felt his reputation in terms of ability was artificially enhanced by his cult status. The clear superiority of both Webster and Kalas ability-wise pretty much proves the point. For me this is a local rival signing a player we know better than anyone isn’t as good as what we’ve now got. As a potential promotion rival this season I actually find that quite reassuring.

Red Exile Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 You beat me to it @ChippenhamRed. Can't say that Cardiff photo bothers me in the least. Aden was part of one of the finer City sides in the 50 years I've been following the club and a bit of a legend. That ended when he left last year. Good luck to him. Can't imagine he'll finish his career with memories any fonder than those of playing for us. As for the Cardiff publicity department - all looks a bit desperate...do they really imagine that many Bristol City fans care? Bobby Reid? Had one good season for us...had a poor one for them...we took millions off them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
