If we want to become a team that are comfortable passing it out from the back, then Flint was always going to be replaced.

That said, I really like him as a player and wish him well wherever he goes. Still think he can do a job in the championship and that he would smash it in league 1.

Good luck to him, he always gave his best and that's all we can ask.

Will always remember his goal against the Jacks.

Only 3 years but still a great servant to our club. That goal against the inbreds will always be remembered. Good luck to him in the future and thanks for his service. :ayatollah: :bluebird:

I get that we want ball playing CB's but AF slotted right in when Morrison did his ACL and provided cover and also essential experienced leadership which the youngsters need. I'm guessing that Morrison will be retained and will recover to provide this role again which is a potential and significant void in our backline. Good luck Aden and thanks for that jacks goal and everything else you've done for the club.

Yes I did too. Good pro, as was Pack. Time to move on though.

I know all Morisons talk of a change in style means players like Flint are superfluous.

But let's not forget that the reason for him leaving is probably more to do with a change in the wage budget.

I cannot believe that any manager would not want Flint's set of skills and experience in the squad or on the bench for certain situations.

Have 100% every time.

All the best flinty. Shame he couldn’t have stayed. I think it’s more about salary budget than playing ability because even in a more “footballing” side his qualities would have added a lot to the team and squad.

he'll get a team in the championship - a very effective player at this level. Lets just a Warnock type team will snap him up.

Apparently he's wanted by Wayne Rooney at Derby, if they can get their financial situation sorted in the next week.

He’d do well there I reckon.

A good Championship defender but never worth the £4m and wages Warnock paid for him and won’t fit into our new style under Morison. Far too similar to Sean Morrison and they were never going to be a good blend!
