@liamward_6: Flint is exactly the sort of character need round this club especially in changing room. No nonsense experienced defender, proper leader & winner. Chips in with important goals, influences referees, commands defenders and can play could well be the signing that keeps us up.

@Luke_Askham: Buzzing with flint a proper centre half if he gets back to where he was at with Bristol city we’ve got a Reyt defender #swfc

@Buntingfootball: Aden Flint is a defender I've always admired, he goes about his work so well, a threat from set-pieces and reads the game really well, he brings a good balance about the Sheffield Wednesday side and will certainly improve them at the back. A very solid signing for the Owls #SWFC

@bw_swfc: Suppose I should forgive flint for ruining my night out in Cardiff then?

@ShaneLevitt11: Iorfa, Lees, Flint, Dunkley best centre back depth in the league surely

@danksy3: I wanted Hector back but Flint will do. Don't rate him that highly myself but will give him the benefit of the doubt until he plays for us

@Danny4swfc: Iorfa, Dunkley and Flint on the end of free kicks and corners is going to be naughty
