ralphindevon Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 One player I don’t think any of us missed, Lois Diony, scored twice against Patrick Viera’s Nice in a pre season friendly today. Good luck to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV Tom Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 An absolute hero for us because of his attitude and goals but defensively he’s not great because of his positional sense, in saying that he’s third on my all time best City Centre half’s behind Collier and Merrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point taken though. 30 minutes ago, BigTone said: Feels right to me as he served us well and I feel no malice towards him for wanting to try and improve himself (and earn a bigger wedge) I’m not sure I was making a point really, and I certainly don’t have any malice towards Flint. It just struck me as a particularly warm way of describing a player who isn’t actually ours any more. I guess it’s just a hugely positive reflection of his time here, which is no bad thing. Not many players would still get a “y” after they’d left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if fans though might also remember him regularly signing new contracts, the Birmingham saga last summer and leaving to a Championship rival for (IMO) perhaps less than we should have got..may leave a bitter taste for some. Overall though, see no reason he should get a hostile reception he was our leader, our lynchpin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 Flint did a great job for the club, improved season on season and always gave everything. He signed a new contract which meant we got a reasonable fee for him too. If you thought he wasn't actually good defensively then you should be really happy with the fee we got, If you loved him for what he gave us then you should be supportive of a move that gives him a payday and arguably a better shot at the prem. It not like he screwed us over. No good reason to lay into him in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT's Vaseline Tub Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 We will only miss his goals and the fact he never got injured which gave us some stability in continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 1 hour ago, BigTone said: Was at Millwall today and afraid Flinty had a bit of a mare. Came good 2nd half but looked out of place TBH. Give him a few more games to settle I suppose. Boro generally were fairly average until the last 20 mins and I can't see them as promotion contenders. Early days I know before someone says it. Buy him back in Jan for a cut price £1m! we are going to concede a lot of headed goals this season imo. I dont see any dominance in the air at the back im afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
