They obviously want him big time. Need to milk this for a bit more methinks. £500k anyone?
Yep that's 3 bids for him now. They can keep coming back for all I care. Personally I can't see Flint being involved either way next season regardless of whether he goes or not. |

The thought that Flint could potentially go for more than Ritchie makes me want to both laugh and cry.

4 members have staff have taken voluntary redundancy. http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/article/redundancy-process-complete-832613.aspxwith the recent news that there are going to be business meetings, the refusal to sell Aden Flint for tuppance and that we are trying to bring in Mason from Spurs, are we sitting a little more confortably? |

I’d be very surprised if Flint was staying. It’s very early on to sell him and season ticket money will see us through until the start of the season. A bit of bidding competition is a good thing.

City know they'll get their man...and don't need to pay his wages through the summer when we might will |

As Brucie would say:
'higher, higher'
Honestly, if Flint is worth £300'000 my cock's a kipper

A player's worth is surely however much a club is willing to spend on him? If he doesn't want to stay here and we can make a bit of money on him, then everybody should be happy (not DV obviously). Ok defender but definitely not irreplaceable.

I think DV would suggest, that your argument is a bit simplistic. Take Greer, for example, we sold him for £250K but he was worth a lot more. The relegation season of 10/11, would likely not have happened if he'd stayed. Fitton wouldn't have left the helm, opening the way for PdC to have to break the bank to get us back up. So you could argue Greer was worth several mill to us. |

Absolutely right. But Aden Flint isn't Gordon Greer. So I'm not sure what your point is? Flint isn't as important to our squad as Greer was and definitely isn't captain material (at least not yet). He also hasn't got the wealth of experience Greer had. If we do struggle next season it won't be because we sold Flint. |

I don't disagree about Flint, just putting myself in DV shoes, which are probably horrible and sweaty. |

That's a shame, he always seemed a decent chap. Hope he has something better lined up in the near future. |
