The Humble Realist Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Can't believe there isn't a topic on this ?! Surely without flint playing in today's friendly something is going on...if it's just a knock fair enough but why name him amongst the subs if so? I know many will say 'nothing to see here ' but surely at the very least it's a bit suspicious!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 We know what Flint can do. We didn't have to play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinreliant Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Hörður and Flint will play against Cheltenham and probably the full 90 mins. (According to LJ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 It's definitely fishy. It was pretty much a full strength side minus him, so the 'we know what he can do' argument doesn't stand up. He's not injured, surely there can't be any concerns about his fatigue when we were playing against farmers today, was hardly going to be strenuous. He's not old and incapable of playing a few friendlies in a week.. seems a bit strange. Think something is going on personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynriley Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 It could be as simple as LJ wants to give Hegeler time in that role. Didn't he pull out at Yeovil and Flint started? Or he's off! Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire_red Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 If Flint and Magnússon start against Cheltenham it rather gives the impression of not knowing which pairing s going to be starting the season. It would only give one game for Flint and Wright to team back up before the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saunders87 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 The problem is if and it's a big IF LJ has lied about the situation, again, albeit for the right reasons we literally won't trust a word that comes out of his mouth. I personally think it was solely to get JH minutes as someone mentioned with him pulling out of the Yeovil game he stands to benefit more from the run around.

You expect they will still be doing a lot in training with all the pairings, we're seemingly just giving all the pairs a chance to have a go with each other in match conditions so far. No harm in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishRed Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Just now, samo II said: Aye. Of course, of course. So where is the real evidence ? Yeah he didn't play today, but so what he will at Cheltenham - unless injured. Its all piss and wind, there is nothing to suggest he is off at all. Its about as credible as the complete bollocks regarding Tim Krul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand why you expect clubs too tell the truth. If they did than every other club would know our teams truths, bad for our club. I fully expect teams too lie and am never disappointed and just remember History is always written by the victors and probably isn't the truth either.

Andy Horsman Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'm not seeing a conspiracy. Flint replaced Hegeler in the last match, today was Hegeler's opportunity for a run out at CB. I may be wrong but until a bid is actually accepted, it's all what ifs and maybes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrytheb Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Really? They played for 4/5 months together last season and train most days together. It really wouldn't give the impression of not knowing. Just trying different combinations as who knows what injuries could occur by August 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty much a full strength side minus him, so the 'we know what he can do' argument doesn't stand up. What I meant is that Flints availability in the last few seasons has been exemplary but it's still possible that he could be out for the odd game or spell. I agree that was a full strength side (the lineup I expect to see, with Flint in for Hegeler, for Barnsley) but we've never really looked at alternatives at CB. We've tried many midfield pairings, wide players, systems etc but Flint has pretty much been a constant. Its still possible he'll be gone but I'm not looking at that lineup as an indicator of it.

eric04 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 If LJ is 100% sure Flint will still be here on Aug 5th, then he starts every friendly. No question. But he knows there's a decent chance he won't and he needs to look at alternatives within the squad now rather than after the event. Factually, we haven't had any bids, but plenty of us aren't fooled by comments like that. We all know clubs are monitoring him, waiting for other dominos to fall before they make their move. Flint knows this, the club knows this, his agent will know this. Dont be fooled by some of the comments coming out of AG. Clever use of words and spin. I still think it's more likely he'll be off this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I hope I'm wrong, but I've got a feeling he will go. It's only a matter of time before a club puts in an offer that either City or Flint (or both) will find too good to refuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 As has been said, we know what we're getting with Flint. He doesn't like missing games so taking it easy on him now. Could it mean something is brewing? Of course but the club will get a good deal if he goes and we've got ample backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good first ball winner which every team needs and we got a replacement in baily wright . There are a few that don't rate baily , I promise you he is as good a defender if not better than flinty . Plus I think he'll play hegeler there . LJ wants us to play from the back. Flint and wright are very similar defenders . Hegeler can be the sweeper in behind the first ball winner (wright) let's not forget EVERY time a nippy forward gets flint one on one he's like bamby on ice. People get carried away with a players petsonality . Don't get me wrong , flintys been great for us but players come and go , **** it we'll survive .
