Millenniumram Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The classic Aden Flint link that appears every single transfer window. We’ve already got a ridiculous amount of CBs, don’t need any more. He’d only be a minor upgrade even if we moved some on imo. RB has to be the focus.

Chopper Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I think there will always be a link with Flint, given the local connections. I'd go for him especially as discussed it's not a massive leap to envisage us with no experienced Centre Halves come the start of next season. Always looked solid against Conf North sides if that helps? Be in for Macfadzean next and get the band back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazloW Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Was seen training at Alfreton leisure centre during the summer. Had heard he’d moved back close to the area. Obviously means nothing in terms of whether he will sign, whether he’s any good or what it might mean for other centre halves… but at least he wouldn’t need much bus fare!

As it stands next season our only centre half on our books will be Cashin. Forsyth - Contract up Davies - Contract up (Probably retire) Stearman - Will definitely retire Chester - Always injured no chance of extending his deal. And if we're still in league one we'll do well to keep Cashin. TomG, DCFC1388 and Wsm-ram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes interesting how names become unfashionable and date people. My name’s Colin and in Junior school in the early 50s half the class were called Colin. (Though mine’’s got two “l’s”). And Darren only became popular with the character called Darren Stephens in the 60s TV sitcom Bewitched. Not much used now. Barry which could be a shortening of Bartholomew, or from a Gaelic name, used to be popular but in 2021 only 1 in 15,377 baby boys were called Barry.

We do need one now mate. If there's any long term injury to Cashin or Forsyth we're gonna have Davies or Stearman having to play 3 games a week which neither of them are up to. Infact to be honest, neither of them look up to 90 minutes. We need a Right back and a striker too.

Ambitious Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Aden Flint would be a good signing, but I'm not so sure we should so quick to write Curtis off - he's been injured and he hasn't quite had regular game time to get up to speed, but it's not to say that he couldn't. It wasn't that long ago that we were probably saying a very similar thing about Forsyth. Stearman, ok, I understand that it would be difficult for us to bank on him every game, every week. Chester obviously has some issues that means we just can't count on him every week. Therefore, I would say Flint (if possible) would be a good pick up for the rest of this season. He's a threat at set-pieces and has thrived in this league, against League One type players for his career. We can't be overly picky, but I feel Flint would be a decent signing for all League One clubs. It's not like he's been terrible for Stoke this season, either. He had a bad game against Watford and hasn't seen the pitch again. The game before that he was named MOTM in a 0-0 draw with QPR. According to WhoScored, he's the second highest rated player for Stoke this season behind Ben Wilmot, so all things considered it doesn't sound like we're signing a dud - especially playing at the level we are at.

Matchday Fred Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I’m hoping Curtis isn’t done yet. He was fabulous next to Jags last season. whiteroseram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
