Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Either we are selling Iorfa and Flint is replacing him or more than likely he’s coming in on loan for a year. We could be without Iorfa, Lees, Palmer, and Dunkley. I for one would be over the moon with Flint coming in as cover especially against Brum with that brute Jurewitz up front!

Mick70 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 It’ll be a loan if anything? We’ve no idea how long lees gona be out for or how long till dunkley can play so makes sense to have another cb? He has his limitations and that’s why he still at this level but I’d know who I’d rather have doing the actual art of defending ( putting your head where it hurts and clearing your lines ) when the chips are down? Flint... van aken borner or young lads ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Just a thought. When we played Cardiff earlier in season and inform Aiden Flint would have easily got into their side. however he has not played since january and his only show this season is to make bench for one league cup game. We have bought players previously on reputations long since earned with no current form and none have gone well. i will not name them but we have signed a number. For a player not to play for such a period they are either injured, fellout with manager or have lost form . Injury I have checked and appears to be no record of any injury which has prevented him playing. Manager falling out I have searched if any record of a falling out and could not find any. Further more he is just the size and shape Harris likes. At Millwall liked giant centre halves and forwards and followed suit at Cardiff. Loss of Form At age of 31 a loss of form which goes on for months usually means a player is knackered. His wind or energy have packed up and can no longer function. Think loss of Lees and Dunkley still not being fit tells me we are in desperate need of someone who can win ball in the air and if we really are interested in Flint this must be the reason. In view of recent record it is a desperation stakes signing. If anyone can shed a light on why he has not played this year I accept my thoughts may be wrong.

fpowl Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Imagine brown on set pieces and us having flint, Dunkley, iorfa, lad from man city ( forget his name ) and a big lad up front in the box 5 units who marks that lot? Surely we would be the biggest threat in the division Patterson isn’t big but he’s got a leap Patterson’s Long throws? Actually converting and preventing set pieces could be the difference of 15 plus points a season it’s a yes from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 We need goals spread out around the team. We can’t get a 20 goal season striker. Makes sense to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 He's the bloke who was doing starbusts in front of Dawson when Cardiff got that last minute equaliser from a freekick last season. He was 10 yards offside. He owes us two points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to do it in circuit training. No idea why ref and lino let it go. Where's VAR when you need it? If the EFL had given us minus twelve points last season, it would have relegated us. I say flip off Flint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have done with a hand like they do with lambs and calves on those vet programmes. Edited October 13, 2020 by sonofbert2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Lost his pace and form, would probably be an expensive flop, past his best. Personally, I'd rather we avoided the likes of Flint and Zohore, and went for the likes of Sanderson, Clarke-Salter and Keinan Davis instead.

Owls-Fan Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Not really bothered how many defenders monk wants to sign, whether it’s Fred Flintstone or Barney Rubble. If we don’t improve the creativity and goal scoring in the side then we ain’t going to win many matches this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care if he makes the odd mistake, most centre-halves do at this level otherwise they wouldn’t be at this level. I want someone in who drags the whole team up the pitch when they drop deep. I want someone who screams at his fellow players to pick up their man late in games when concentration is on the wane. I want someone who gets on the end of setpieces and at the very least creates a chance or forces a save. If he fits the bill, get him in. If he fitted that bill he probably wouldn't be 4th choice for Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
