This Instagram post from Sarah Jones [above] has sent Twitter into a frenzy.
Bristol City fans are desperate to hang onto talented young defender Aden Flint this season; he is crucial to their Premier League promotion hopes.
Flint knows football moves fast, especially when you’ve got talent. Only last week he said goodbye to teammate Derrick Williams after the Irish defender was snapped up by Blackburn Rovers.

With O’Shea purportedly pictured at Bristol Temple Meads train station, many City fans drew their own conclusions.
Terrified
John O'Shea at Temple Meads. Genuinely terrified this is related to the Flint to Sunderland rumours.

Far from convinced

As confirmed by Martin O’Neill on Tuesday, O’Shea will miss this evening’s friendly against Oman. However, as per the information we have, the Waterford native is set to be in Dublin to bid farewell to Robbie Keane in his final game for Ireland.
O’Shea, the Sunderland player, is expected to stick around the international scene a while longer.
