Colchester fan on that carefully leaves out the fact that we easily double their crowd every week.
Still, this lad sounds fairly encouraging, 6' 6 and quick, if he has any footballing brain on him he could be a damn good player.

Were notoriously tight with unkown players. Ranger springs to mind, that will be the decider, sounds interesting though.

According to their official website, the bid for Flint is 150k.

Flint could create the spark the defence has been missing well, how often are the rest caught knapping? |

I actually heard about this guy a few months back, not linking the town but from what i heard then there is a tremendous amount of potential there and he's been on the radar of many clubs for a while now. 150k does sound a lot to me, however a 100k min profit selling one promising defender and signing another could end up being an enforced bit of luck, as i'm presuming we wouldn't have pursued this had Morrison not left. I'm hoping he signs and that we've picked up a Chris Smalling so to speak.

I wonder if this scouting of a non-league player from Alfreton Town has anything to do with the fact that Danny still lives in or near Chesterfield and I believe Danny's son also plays in midfield for Alfreton Town. Maybe that is how Danny was first informed of the lad's potential. I note with some amusement that the defender Flint is coming with his agent to meet the Town officials - a non-league player with an agent? I'm must be getting old! I'd be interested to know what factors will influence Flint when he has to make a decision. Maybe current league position? That much abused term 'potential' of the clubs? The stadia or the financial package on offer? The selling job that Danny or John Ward can do regarding their respective clubs? I see Ward is saying Flint will be on the bus for Saturday's game if he signs - could be very persuasive to a young lad desperate to get into league football. When's he going to decide - anyone know?
Another factor in all this is how will the signing of Flint affect the development of Evans? I haven't seen Evans play but some reports suggest that he's also pretty useful and with Morrison moving on he may feature in some games for us and that should quicken his development. I'd welcome anyone who can stop us conceding goals like we have done this year

According to the Adver's tweeting, "Expect Flint to choose Robins over Colchester imminently"
