It’s good business. We get a very talented player that will improve us. He would have required compensation in the summer anyway. This way we beat the queue of competitors. Am I right in thinking he was once linked to Chelsea for around £8m?

Hull don’t have an option to buy Fabio Carvalho or Liam Delap, but I don’t see their fans moaning. They know that their loan signings improve them, even if it is only temporarily. Ask yourselves a simple question… Does Scott Twine improve us? The answer is yes. Of course we all would have hoped for a permanent deal, but we’ve managed to bring him in regardless, and that seems like a great signing to me. Nottingham Forest got into the play-offs after securing Keinan Davis and Djed Spence on loan. They didn’t end up signing either permanently, but progressed as a club. We are a few points off the play-offs and have signed a player which has improved the squad. Let’s take the positives for once.

So disappointed with the club! Will always appreciate Nige’s commitment to the club, and the job that he did. He set the foundations with limited resources. Just imagine what he could have done with some backing. This feels like it could become very toxic between fans and board.

Great news, We have 2 fantastic options in Pring and Roberts. Let’s hope Conway, Bell and Vyner are to follow.

A couple of West Brom fans on twitter, plus Darren Witcoop (Sunday Mirror) seem to think this could be a permanent move. I like deals like this. Has shown potential, and still has time to improve further. Sensible business.

Thought I would bump this one back up. IF Nige has money to spend, what do we need?

Nige knows what he’s doing. He’s sending a direct message to the board. Nige is very clever in the way in which he uses the media/journalists. He’s already got us talking about how frustrated he seems. I mentioned the other day about how we shouldn’t believe everything that he says to the press. Within a matter of days we have lost our key striker through injury, and have now agreed to sell our best player. Nige will ensure that the message gets out about needing to spend money, and that the fans back him.

Changed my mind. We’re winning the lot!

All the pre-season excitement has been drained very very quickly.

BOURNEMOUTH - Italian midfielder has failed his medical and the deal is now OFF!

Ignoring Nige’s comments to the press this week regarding wage budget (don’t believe everything he tells the press), it’s a possibility that the following could happen: We know that the offer to Kalas has been on the table throughout the summer, and I would expect our offer was around the £15k a week mark. Therefore you would assume this money (wages) would be available for 1/2 further incomings. Especially if no fee is involved. Craig Cathcart (worked with Nige at Watford), Cieran Clark and Daniel Ayala are all still available as free agents.

Take what Nige says to the media with a pinch of salt. He previously stated that we wouldn’t be making million pound signings, and then McCrorie and Knight walk in through the door. His ‘sound of the city’ interview was very much aimed towards making a statement to clubs interested in Scott. He also can’t publicly state “we will have money to spend” because selling clubs will raise their price for any players we may wish to sign.

Unfortunately, this wouldn’t be the ideal situation for us. A sell-on fee % is based on any PROFIT of any transfer fee. A relegation would limit the likelihood of profit being made. We need to ensure that this deal is the best possible, not only for the immediate finances, but to also insure that we are benefiting in the future too.

Rudoni is certainly one that we should be after. Possesses many similar attributes to Scott, and perhaps hasn’t received the plaudits yet because he has been playing in a very poor Huddersfield team. As you mention, he is one we should have tried for last year.

Linked with Aberdeen earlier today. Stoke had been interested before signing Ben Pearson.
