Sheffield Wednesday: Aden Flint transfer talk prompts fan response

Sheffield Wednesday fans have been reacting to a transfer update surrounding the club’s reported interest in Cardiff City defender Aden Flint.

Owls boss Garry Monk was a busy man over the summer transfer window, bringing the likes of Josh Windass, Callum Paterson, Elias Kachunga and Izzy Brown to Hillsborough.

With the domestic transfer window coming to a close in the next few days (Friday 16/10), Monk has been linked with a potential move for Cardiff defender Flint.

Valued at £3.6m by Transfermarkt, the 31-year-old is unlikely to get sufficient game time with the Welsh club this season, being yet to feature in the Championship.

During his time with Cardiff, Flint has made 30 appearances, whilst also spending time with the likes of Middlesbrough, Bristol City and Swindon Town during his career.

With his contract coming to an end next summer at Cardiff, a potential move to Wednesday before Friday’s deadline, however, has seemingly been rubbished by The Star journalist Joe Crann, who tweeted:

I’m led to believe that #SWFC have shown a genuine interest in Cardiff City’s Aden Flint, but with 18 months left in his #CCFC deal, it’s looking unlikely at this stage.

Of course that can change quickly. The transfer window closes on Friday. https://t.co/iify0yDx0a 🦉⚽️

Joe, do you feel this is to complement the current squad or as a potential replacement for outgoings IE Iorfa?

Hopefully the injuries to Iorfa and Lees aren’t that bad. My worry with Monks comments about Iorfa is that sometimes the “not going anywhere” comments mean “ pay big money and you will get said player”. On flint I don’t see him as a CB in a 3 man defence, always played in a 4
