BobBobSuperBob Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Won't start another thread but guess we have to be realistic and the same with 'The Rock' that is Aden Flint Blimey what a sobering thought - Possibly the end of Abraham / Wilbraham / Flint COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Agree 100%, to me it is a real shame that LJ said he would say whether he and Mark Little are getting new deals "in a week or so", because I'm sure the decisions have already been made & if (as I suspect) either is going then it would let people know so they could show their appreciation today. Can only add that for me Wilbs is as good as any free transfer we have ever signed and his professionalism has been what we used to lack from many (especially in the Danny Wilson/Pulis eras) and has been just massive for us. Best of luck in the future, if as I expect, you are elsewhere next season Wilbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Completely agree about Wilbraham - he's been absolutely superb. I don't like the thought that this could be Flint's last game for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracking shout bbsb. Probably not an understatement to say he exceeded the expectations of the majority of our fans. Good luck Wilbs (if indeed you are off)!!

1960maaan Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Here's a thought. The post could be a little premature . I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was kept on, if not given another playing contract maybe a coaching role. You can never doubt his commitment and attitude and could only be a good influence, specially with the younger players. Good post BBSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point about Mark Little too Graham Totally agree that it's a real shame that we don't know with Wilbs and Little though I suspect it's the last we see of both Unusual and sad to potentially see the departure of four players who have all always given their all for us and made a major contribution for us , even Mark Little Id suggest Abraham / Wilbraham and Flint will be remembered and talked about for years to come Usually we are glad to see rid but in these cases can't believe anyone will be glad to see the back of any of them Thankyou you four Musketeers , if it is goodbye COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire reds Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I know it's been said job for the boys. But I do hope city give wilbs a coaching role. The guy is a top bloke with so much knowledge to let walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to have players that better teams want than not. With the enhanced contract he signed at the start of the season (good foresight by MA?), this puts us in the driving seat. As long as Flinty goes to an established prem side for >>£5M and we reinvest in a couple of very good prospects (not 17 year olds!) and we strengthen the side overall then I'll be 'ok' with it.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I made some comments when he was signed that i completely regret. Warrior for us and a great footballer. If this does end up being his last game thanks you wilbs for some great memories and putting silver in our cabinet. Lege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
