Flint absolutely led by example and I'd imagine was extremely popular amongst his defensive team mates You need to look back at last season the number of times he was waving his arms in our players faces in frustration, clearly there were issues last season Sadly only the other players will really know the answer to your second point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS10 RED Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 90th minute winner from Flint in front of the South Stand and he runs to S82 to celebrate with his new Boro team mates can just see it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneCity Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 My favourite defender since Glen Humphries. Really sad to see him leave. But best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderMB Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 I doubt this was a LJ decision. He's the head coach after all, and transfers are a board-level thing with LJ's input. LJ had a lot of good things to say about him, and in fairness to him he did let Flint back into the side after his head had been turned. Many managers would've left him to sit on the bench, and we'd be getting next to nothing for him. Admittedly, we didn't get a lot for him anyway, especially considering the years he had left on his contract with us. Now, let's hope that the club have someone good lined up, otherwise the fans will be livid come the first game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Disappointed but not surprised he's moving on. Shame it's not to a Prem team, though. Money doesn't seem like much in today's market, but hopefully we have a replacement lined up. Still, a decent return on our original fee paid of £350k, wasn't it?

ColeCiderRed Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 If someone was to make a montage of his best moments in a city shirt it would view like a feature length movie. He was a great servant to the club and like many others have said one of my favourite players. Good luck big Aden, break a leg mate...

If both us and Boro have great seasons, and he is asked on the pitch by a Sky reporter if he wants Bristol City to get promoted alongside Boro what his answer would be. Not saying his reaction would be the same or different, but seemingly we've handled his exit very different to Swindon did as long as we don't start chanting judas etc at him.

Offside Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Gutted to see Flint leave, even though there was an air of inevitability about it for some time. He has been a memorable player for us and it will be a long time before we see a central defender with such a goal tally. One of my favourite ever City players and, in my opinion, our best centre back (along with Shaun Taylor) since I started watching City in 1981.

Super Scotty Murray Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 What a legend. Right move for everyone, £7m a decent fee, only downside is Swindon get a chunk of it! Amazing memories, great banter, goals and gifs. THAT clearance against Man City. THAT rabona hat trick. These things will never be forgotten! Flint said no. All the best Aden.

And the overreaction of the year award goes to.... you do realise theres still 6 weeks to go until the season starts for us to bring players in right?

Did a good job for us and now gets paid more money to do a similar job for someone else while we get a profit to invest in other players. Move on.

reddogkev Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 I can't believe we've sold him to a Championship club. This shows a lack of ambition and has worried me about next season. We had no reason to sell him this summer, and should have only considered it for a Premier league team. To have Aden playing against us is terrible. Bad day for City.

Clubs no longer have much option when players want to leave - unless they are prepared to rip up their wage policy and pay whatever it takes.
