Would be amazed if this was true. He's been one of the first names on the team sheet since he signed in Jan.
Not sure what age his kids are and how many he has but i know he's (well his Mrs presumably) has had one recently.

Given the fact that his first child isn't old enough for school yet and his second is only months old, it's absolute bollocks.

Midfield and up front looks to be sorted, lots of experience and depth there.
Still think we need someone alongside McCormack, unsure that Flint will make the step up.

I agree, i expect another experienced defender coming in. I think Devera will play ahead of flint, got more pace, better distribution etc.

I'd disagree. I think Flint will play a huge part this season, with Devera stepping in when needed. We do need another quality CB though as we were forced to play Risser at the back in several games last season.

Flinty relegated to fourth choice then? I'd hope not.

It's an interesting question. Assume most people would agree Alan Mac and A.N.Other, but which out of Flint and Devera? Strange to say as Flint was incredible in the opening few games, but the way Devera got better as the season went on I think I'd have him ahead of Flint at the moment.

Devera is a better all round player than Flint at the moment.

I agree, I think an experienced CB will be next signing along with a backup/squad keeper probably with a bit more experience that Wes so keep him on his toes, that will make it the 8 signings Paolo was after.

If this was a game of football manager you would be pretty pleased with that as a solid piece of squad strengthening.
The strange thing is that I am not even surprised this time round, as it was clear under Wray/Di Canio in the January window that we weren't going to dither any more.
