BLRed Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 @Davefevs if not Knight, do you think Twine could be a possible and good replacement should Scott move or is he the wrong area of the pitch? I feel twine is a 10 where we are wanting to play Scott but also has a wicked set piece in him. Can’t see him getting much game time at Burnley. Loan with View to buy?

Nothing wrong with a bit of transparency, and I’m sure Posh fans would’ve been worried that £1.5m was being mentioned, which would’ve been grossly underselling him.

I don’t know him at all, I can only judge by what I see / read…and that’s all related to football, where I think he comes across fine.

I feel twine is a 10 where we are wanting to play Scott but also has a wicked set piece in him. Can’t see him getting much game time at Burnley. Loan with View to buy? I’ve no idea what they may think of Twine. I’m not sure on the loan to buy under this regime. Think they’d do their diligence (on any player) and want to buy outright if they felt the player was one they wanted. As I’ve said before i don’t think we replace Alex like-for-like, he’s a one-off, so it’s about finding players that make us better as a team. I kinda forget any money we get for Scott because I think we will be careful with funds. So I’m still looking at the “Tinnion brief” really. Some players I like beyond Knight: Rudoni (ship sailed though, not a chance, but I still like him) Carey (bit like Crooks) Khadra (my loose cannon, but we have Mehmeti) Chilvers (can he step-up) Azaz (composed in the final third) But Knight my no1. I like the following as different midfield options, more James / Williams successors: Collins (going to Rotherham) Iroegbunam (if available to buy - unlikely) Randall (signed an extension) If I suddenly found we were gonna change tack and start spending £2m+ on a bunch, I’d have a different list.

I think we're probably watching the situation but after Ipswich getting involved and Stoke joining the chase I wonder if we're potentially talking to other players. Also with Scott not yet getting a bid on him that matches valuation we may not need a midfielder in Pearson eyes, at least not one playing in the same situation. I guess it depends on Benarous, whether Mehmeti going to be given a chance in the middle, if Weimann is going to go back into that role behind the strikers etc. I'm not sure what Pearson has planned but he's obviously happy with the current squad as he's already made 3 good additions and hasn't yet lost anyone he didn't expect to.

That was 5 minutes ago. He'll have at least 2 weeks off, so a little patience is required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness the article is pretty much copy and pasting James Piercy’s transcript, so the detail is accurate. You’ll know I’ve talked a fair bit about long-term succession for James and Williams (and Naismith to a lesser extreme). I’d earmarked Archie Collins, but he’s gone to Posh. Shame. So it was good to hear Nige talking like that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quotes from Nigel: I expect him to be here, and he’ll be here. That’s how I approach the situation. This has been read by some as saying Alex is staying when he is just saying that he is planning on that assumption at present. In that area we’ve got quite an ageing midfield and everybody seems keen to write Alex Scott off as being gone. If we sign somebody in that area, we’re not replacing Alex Scott. So he wants a midfielder even if Alex stays and is again working on the assumption that he will. He is not saying that he definitely will. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
