tomsdubs Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I really rate Flint, be perfect alongside Keogh. Pace, muscle and height. Dangerous from corners as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ram Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 If we're looking to spend 5 million on a 27 year old centre back who's achieved nothing of note higher than league 1 just because he's tall then we clearly haven't learned any lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the strangest posts I've read in a while. You must live in one of those opposite parallel universes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I'm not saying it would be a bad signing but £5 million is far too much imo. We should be able to get better than him with that amount of cash. Personally I'd like a big Croatian or German who doesn't get out muscled, has a bit of pace no is a nasty bleeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E17Rams Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I watched him in 50+ games for Alfreton Town. He was a raw 21/22 year old player who gave absolutely everything on the field and was solid at the back and dangerous from set pieces. Rumour when he left Alfreton was that Derby bid an embarrassing figure for him when he was sold to Swindon for £125k. Pretty sure he/his family are Forest fans.

Bwash_Ram Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 He's massive and scores quite a few goals, would improve us at set pieces (at either end of the pitch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDerbySuperRams Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Local lad, if I remember correctly. Issue for me is Bristol City's defensive record this season, is he really better than what we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I have mentioned I have been impressed with him before. His perfomance this season thought have really raised his profile and if Villa want him we stand no chance. Like £4mil for Wisdom I think £5mil for Flint is now out of our price range sadly. Unless of course we ship a good number out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Pretty horrible defending few minutes ago when Adams scored for Birmingham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 If anyone's daft enough to pump high balls towards him all afternoon (like we did) he's great. It's when players run at him that he looks like an elephant trying to deal with a mouse. City have conceded plenty because this didn't stay a secret for long.

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Why the **** do people want to sign a centre back for £5 million, whose team conceded the second most goals in the league just because he scores the odd goal from a corner? Jesus Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's another quick second striker chucked out on the wing because there aren't many teams that play with two up front anymore. He's more of the same, for me. I'm interested in us signing actual wingers, not people who get stuck out on the wing because they're fast. Also came across an A grade ******** when he celebrated his first goal since about November against us earlier this season like he was Cristiano Ronaldo. Bundled the ball in from a yard out, the tit.
