Yes, and you're saying Bailey Wright's first 6 months were better than Flint's first 6 months.
BW's first 6 months were so bad at CH he ended up playing right back.
Brilliant !
I'm saying exactly that. I know you have selective memory so I will recap for you. Wright's first 6 months, we successfully avoided relegation from the Championship when many thought we were doomed by the time he turned up. Flint's first 6 months we hit the bottom of league one, didn't win a league game until the end of October, didn't keep a clean sheet in the league until November, and he was dropped for El-Abd and Osborne. He was so bad Swindon fans were laughing at us for overpaying for him and we only pad 300k!
That's it I quit if @Red Robin and I agree on something there is nothing more I can do, my job here is done!

Seeing as you didn't provide an actual link, the best I could find was this, which is a public vote system that seems to be changing randomly (one minute we're 6th, the next 16th!) - ergo, rather b*llocks as a gauge.

Taking the more reliable source of Sky Bet's odds, they have us as joint 13th.

Looks as though Flint off for "£7m" is done - sounds like not a great deal for us, as explained by the Post's Gregor MacGregor:
"The full deal is worth some £7m according to our sources. Although that’s only £5m guaranteed. And once you take out the cut for Swindon Town then the guaranteed fee gets down towards £4m. And Flint just has to be worth a lot more than that. Question marks over that fee then, and what about that new deal handed to Flint last March?
Arguably this is a sideways move and City are strengthening a rival for a place in the Championship promotion next season. Unless the club feels they can bring in a better quality player then it doesn’t seem to make a huge deal of sense. Certainly, there is pressure on Lee Johnson and Mark Ashton to explain the thinking behind the deal and now use that money to make the Robins stronger."
This is shaping up to be potentially a very eventful transfer window for us, and if it's viewed that we're taking a step back, the critics will be out in force - not an ideal situation, as I think surpassing last season's final position will be a tall order as things stand.

Ffs Redprintt stop talking absolute sh*te for one day please. Do you support City or do you despise City, because it really feels like the latter.
BCFCRob, he's a plank, thinks he knows everything there is to know about football but know's sh*te all.
FFP won't be a problem for you though. Loads of cash.We are fooked sparky complete and utter shambles our lot.
pants down big time
Reid won't suit Warnocks long ball game!!
As much as I despise Colin, he's shrewd, all his signings to date appear to me signings that won't keep them up, but equally they aren't likely to clear off thinking their to good to go down when they get relegated and will make them strong again in the Championship the season after.

But but but you said when Reid goes Taylor will get his chance and he’s better. So 10 mil for Reid and a ready made replacement how can we be?We are fooked sparky complete and utter shambles our lot.

Calm down RR - you reckon Reid's a one season wonder anyway, so if we get a big fee with over a month to go to spend it on a replacement, maybe reserve the hysterics until then at least?We are fooked sparky complete and utter shambles our lot.

12 months ago we would have laughed, and laughed hard if someone said we'd be getting £10million for Reid!! It's good business as he is a LONG way from a proven goalscorer.
You don't score 19 goals in the Championship as a fluke though. I will say that he needs the right kind of support/supply to prosper, but give credit to how he's performed this season gone.
