[Albion] £6 million Bid for Aden Flint Rejected

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

I think that we should be in.... like Flint....


Or has someone done that already?

 

[chaileyjem]

We have an exceptional 4th choice CB who is probably not happy being 4th choice and is not signing a new contract

re: Uwe. Or more likely he's not been offered one.

 

[Brighton Mod]

Goldson - on loan.

I'd be amazed if Dunk leaves this month.
But not as amazed as I would be if he's still with the Albion next season.

Hmmm, I thought he was exposed in the Chelsea game. Our defensive strategy makes both him and Duffy appear to better than they are, except when defending set pieces where they are dreadful.

Fair comment, although being exposed by an on form Chelsea/City and to a lesser extent Liverpool is hardly a black mark against his name.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I assumed the Flint bid was in order to send Goldson on loan but continue to play 3 central defenders.

Just don't delete part of the quote when it comes up! You managed it fine this time.

I have just done exactly the same not deleted anything, I dont understand why this happens.

PS just edited and checked it is ok I think that somebody has adjusted the settings without my knowledge.

 

[Triggaaar]

Can't see the logic in Goldson going on loan when he is on the verge of the first team, especially if we want to try the 3 at the back again. That would be like sending Izquierdo or Hemed out on loan atm.

The differences are that we weren't rotating our centre backs, and Goldson is young and had been out for a while and needed game time, whereas we rotated our strikers and wingers, and also bring them on as subs. Things may have changed however since Goldson's recent good performances, and Duffy's drop in form.

 

[Triggaaar]

Stat Brother too speeeeeedy for me.

That's what she said.

 

[Gully Forever]

Had offer for Dunk?

Premier League Squads have 4-6 top quality centre backs not 2 or 3.

 

[Napper]

this.

Peoples minds seem to be blown when we are in for someone who may not be guaranteed a place. Like we are still in league 2

Same was said about Duffy etc

Man City in for Fred:

They should probably also go in for Aden Flint, so they can have a back 3 of Fred-Flint-Stones

 

[drew]

We have 4.

 

[BensGrandad]

We have 4.

With 1 wanting to go out to loan to get regular games, which we cant guarantee to give him. The logical answer is sign Flint and give them Goldson on loan for this season as part of the deal. We get a more experienced player they get a replacement who is capable at that level.

Butters, Mayo, Hammond to Martot...

 

[Marshy]

We need 5 if we are going to play 3 at the back.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

We have 4.

Hmmm define top quality though.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

We need 5 if we are going to play 3 at the back.

We are, although are we going to play three at the back, or was that just an experiment against Chelsea, that Chris won't continue with?

Who knows... but If we are then we need an additional centre half and for goldson to stay..
