Downsouth 6,175 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Glad he see's that and well done for admitting that he really did have a poor season. I remember when he got his one and only goal so early in the season I though great he is going to contribute so much, but little did we know and it was a shame to see the effect it had on Brunnners!

Dan1234 1,048 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 We all knew what we were getting with Flint. He's an average centre back who usually makes himself worth it by popping up with nearly double figures in goals. I'd sell but his value won't be great. He's getting on and he will be on a good contract to. Hopefully with a more attacking style of play his goal return comes back next season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Can't remember who said it on here, but we are brassic We're trying to offload for peanuts because we made so many signings recently that we overpaid for and are currently overpaying. It's going to be a struggle to get rid of a lot of them so being prepared to let them go cheaply is one way of trying to encourage prospective buyers. I reckon we'll end up paying the wages of some players we sell, if we end up selling them at all that is. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Really we could do with pulis taking over an upper mid table championship team so we can flog off some of our *** to him. He’d have ‘rudy’ and ‘flinty’ I think. Link to post Share on other sites

They are clearly unfit for the job. Link to post Share on other sites

This means we cant demand much for them but also means we will soon be rid of them as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 It has all the hallmarks of the start of the Mowbray era, we were stuck with the Strachan buys who were overpaid and not contributing enough on the pitch. It feels like we need to shift half of the current squad before we start again, I think Woodgate is the new Mowbray who'll be used as the fall guy while the club rebalance the books. You wonder if we actually learnt anything from the Strachan era. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Britts DR Congo out of AFCON. Lost on pens. Britt did not take one as he was subbed off at ET. 26 days left before Luton so enough time I hope for him to rest up and be involved. Link to post Share on other sites
mendieta420 988 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Did Britt have holidays before afcon or is he still due to be away? Link to post Share on other sites
