‘ Aden Flint wanted to lead another club ‘

Postby Forever Blue » Mon May 23, 2022 6:25 am

Derby County boss Wayne Rooney wants Aden Flint to lead the club's planned for charge back into the Championship next season.

The veteran centre-half is on the lookout for a new club after announcing he is leaving Cardiff City following a three-year spell in the Welsh capital. Flint is among a glut of out of contract senior stars likely to leave in the coming days as Steve Morison undergoes a radical overhaul of the squad.


Flint is from the Derbyshire area and a return to his roots might appeal, particularly as Rooney plans to make him a kingpin of his team in League One as they seek an instant return to Championship football.

Rooney is currently on holiday in Dubai, having been present at the Wagatha Christie High Court trial involving his wife Coleen and Rebekah Vardy. But his Derby planning for the new 2022-23 campaign was already underway, Rooney saying he wants 'The best ones we can' when asked about potential targets.

"The question is can we, whether that is from a salary point of view or players we might need to pay a little bit of money for, can we do that?"

Flint, of course, would arrive on a free transfer, but he was believed to be on a bumper wage with the Bluebirds after being signed from Middlesbrough. He made 93 appearances for City over the course of a three-year stint.

I don’t think he’ll struggle to find another club.

Def won’t, a leader , like Sean Morison.

We will need a leader and a goal scorer.

Absolutely agree, in fact we’ll need a couple of leaders amongst the squad he’s putting together.
I’m sure he’s aware of that though.

Would have kept flint. 100% committed every game. A leader and as another poster mentioned. His good points more than made up for his weaknesses. Wish him all the best.

I agree. No wonder Derby are after him. He was immense in that last game up there.

He’d be brilliant for them.

Sort of character we are short of now, unless Morrison recovers quickly

Yup agree on that.
Someone like Maupay (Brighton) would be superb. I know he'd be out of our range but that type of player. There must be one of them on the continent or in a prem team reserves surely.
Oh and a Graham Kavanagh type player, and Bale and Drameh.
Don't want much do I? :lol: :lol: :bluescarf:
