[Albion] £6 million Bid for Aden Flint Rejected

[Mackenzie]

He's crap, can't defend, can't attack and too slow.
Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole if I were you....

Nearly as bad as Joe Bryan?

 

[GT49er]

We need to keep Baldock. We need more strikers, not fewer - possibly even more so than we thought 24 hours ago.[/QUOTE

Not if the manager doesnt intend to use him and the revelations in the last 24 hrs makes no difference I dont think.

Manager may not have a choice. We've done incredibly well (and been incredibly lucky) to get through more than half a season with effectively only two strikers. Just because we got away with it (sort of), that doesn't mean we should deliberately risk it.


And for f*** sake get Ben to show you how not to f*** up quotations!

Dunk will not be leaving this month.

Big Flint fan here. Massive.
Get him in.

Keep your hair on and please show me the miss quote

Tough one, I'd say slightly worse haha

 

[Marshy]

Except that he wants to out on loan , and the club want to get someone in so he can and keep saying so.

But if we play 3 at the back he will get plenty of game time with us and won’t need to go on loan

My honest view:

Solid defender who puts his body on the line, will always give 110% per cent and knows where the net is

But I reckon he'd be exposed in the prem, he isn't the quickest and the likes of hazard and Aguero would get past him too easily imo.

That being said don't think we'd accept anything under 10 mill really

 

[Dave the OAP]

So we have dunk, Duffy, goldson, hunemier who all have played at centre back in the prem. and a couple in the stiffs. So remind me again why we need to spunk 6 million on a cart Horse?

 

[Mr Putdown]

Anywhere between £30-50 million dependent on the club...

I assume this is supposed to be a joke?

I’m probably being even more boring than usual but here goes again.
Goldson has played less than 30 games in 3 seasons, is fed up on the bench, and wants to develop. Club need to bring in a replacement to send him out on loan which he wants to do and Hughton wants to do.. and the bid for Flint has been surprisingly confirmed by club (they don’t confirm much) Sometimes Hughton really does mean what he says.


Or it’s guff and we are all being misinformed.

 

[djentist]

Or Pontus Jansson at Leeds.

He would be the best option of the three but I'm thinking homegrown players, once we've released Sidwell, Rosenior and possibly Krul in the summer as well as maybe selling Baldock and Dunk we're light in HGP numbers.

I'd be the same in your position, but are you desparate for no player losses this month and hoping that Steve Lansdown gets the cheque book out for a couple of big signings to get you over the line?

I've listened to a couple of radio interviews with SL in the past, where he always cites Brighton as the club model he follows.

Obviously we don't want to sell anyone but if you did come in with a 10 mill bid for a 28 year old who we bought for 300k 4 years ago we couldn't say no.

You are definitely a club who we would look towards, similar sized but shown where having a youngish manager and desire can get you above money

that was the NSC October 2017 valuation, before our defenders were found out.

Maguire £12m
Mawson £5m

Are better defenders.

Stones and VVD are internationals, who've stared for years where ever they've played.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Odd one this, difficult to fathom. Not involving Hunemeier in the league this season (who has not put a foot wrong in my opinion) is even more odd, i think he'd be far better in the Prem than Flint.

Dont suppose you watched our game last Saturday?

Wasn't there a possibility of him going at the beginning of this season?

 

[Stat Brother]

Or any other game featuring 2 of the Premier Leagues very best players.

Absolutely this, and probably would have been more successful last weekend than other three were!
