Aden Flint is one of Cardiff’s highest earners , but is also a good player and could be well needed in the final months of the relegation battle Cardiff are in.
Flints contract runs out this season and No doubt Cardiff will not offer him a similar contract or even a new contract as they are looking to put more U23 players in the Current squad.
If Sunderland are interested as the rumours are getting stronger and offer a small fee do City cash in now or wait till his contract finishes in June???
OPINIONS ?

Also think that the lack of pace and ability to play it out from the back is one of the main reasons we are in this mess. Flint, morrison and Nelson all contribute to that. Ideally, all 3 need replacing to play how morison wants us to play.

Exactly how I see it

The saving in wages plus a fee can be used to bring in loans till end of season.
All the players out of contract in June have been out of form all season,maybe this is why we have struggled to find any form.
From personnel experience when people know there time is up redundant contract up.
They do the minimum work they can.
This is the fault of bad management getting to the stage where 9 players are out of contract.They should have been sold or sent on loans at start of season.

He's been probably our most consistent centre half this season and the amount we would get by way of a fee and the savings on his wages would be outweighed by the losses we would incur by getting relegated.
No guarantee we'd stay up even if he stays but we'd undoubtedly be weaker in an area of the pitch where we are desperately poor at the moment anyway.
Keep him for me. Hopefully stay up and regroup again in the summer.

The most likely scenario is moor cheapo loans which didn't do us any golden the medium term and in fact hides the poor recruitment decisions we've made over the last 3 years. A perfect storm is arising here, a poor team, a BOD that's incompetent and won't spend money. Even if they did after the job that lot have done so far wouldn't give me much hope.
We got mcguiness in for bamba as his replacementtheDelaney88 wrote:Not unless we can get a decent replacement - which we won't.
Our defence is leaky enough. Getting rid of someone with Flint's experience wouldn't make any sense unless we had someone to fill his role.

Choo and Dalman are mainly responsible for this 're their recruitment decisions and hopeless planning over the last three years, the sooner those two go the better. What's this silly talk that I somehow wished for this ? Just pointing out the obvious I'm afraid!
