‘ Medical booked ‘

Aden Flint done deal it seems.

Sound like Aden Flint..

Good signing.

Why people keep throwing up every name under the sun, will you never learn NW will pull a rabbit out of the hat that no-one has even thought of

Hope it's a midfielder or a striker.

Defence isn't really an area of priority.

This is true but Aden Flint could well be the signing, middlesboro lose 40 million worth of parachute payments this season and will need to balance books for fair play.Also Flint may not have settled so far up north and be looking for a move closer to home, if i was a betting man i would have a fiver on it

I'm inclined to agree with this.Too much guesswork for my liking on this thread.This time yesterday we had no idea that big Ken was on his way so I'm hoping for a similar "under the radar" type of signing today.

Really don' see the point of flint if true unless manga has given the nod he wants to leave
we have morrison, and bamba to come back.

Dodging the egg here. If Manga is going I suppose Flint makes sense.

Yeah. Seen that now. And seems a decent swap. Manga out and flint in.

Whatever happened to Cunningham ?

Middlesbrough defender Aden Flint is en route to Championship rivals Cardiff City to complete a transfer worth up to £6m.

The strapping stopper is expected in South Wales to fine tune personal terms on the deal and take a medical today.


The clubs agreed a switch that is reported as an initial £4m price-tag but Gazette Live understand with clauses that could see the fee rise to £6m.

Central defender Flint only arrived at Boro last summer from Bristol City for an initial £5m.

Neil Warnock is looking to revamp his defence after relegation from the Premier League and sees Flint’s imposing physical presence and aerial prowess as a key building block.

Middlesbrough's Aden Flint set for Cardiff City medical


Middlesbrough's Aden Flint is set for a medical at Cardiff City as manager Neil Warnock moves quickly to replace outgoing Bruno Manga.

The former Bristol City centre-back is due to become the manager's fifth signing of the summer, following in the footsteps of Will Vaulks, Curtis Nelson, Joe Day and the permanent acquisition of Aaron Bolger.

It is thought he will join the Bluebirds in a deal that could be worth £6m.

Flint, 30, only moved to the Riverside last summer in a £7million deal, and despite making 39 appearances for Boro, it appears that the time has come to move on and Warnock has acted swiftly to bring in the experienced defender.


The 6ft 6in centre-back is well known in these parts, having scored a winner for the Robins against the Bluebirds in a Severnside derby back in 2017.

He will now compete with Sean Morrison, Sol Bamba and Nelson at the centre of the Bluebirds' defence.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

I now see this as insurance against Bamba's recovery as well as the fact if he still lives this way then it not that much of an upheaval commuting to us as opposed to Boro.
