Connolly Philogene Delap Carvalho That is a ridiculous attack for what is currently a midtable side, can see them making a push second half of the season, but with the amount of loans they have it would be Sheffield United v2 in the prem next season for them! Delap is massively overrated. Man City hoping he hits a patch and someone bungs them £10 million I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James54De Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 I’m really hoping this opens up a move for Twine, even if a loan with an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not top PL level, which is of course what Man City want, but he’s a very tidy 20 year old at this level. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get back on topic I would not be at all surprised to see Twine recalled by Burnley & end up with us now. I doubt it they both play two different positions one left and one right with tufan down the middle ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not play for an elite club but he’ll certainly have a decent career. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to think that. Playing well for Hull and they love him. They think he’s destined for the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan11 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Twine is a player that I struggle to decipher if he's any good or not - as a top Championship player anyway. We've played against him 3 times (twice at MK and once for Hull) and other than the sharp intake of breath when he stepped up to take a free kick around the box, you've left the game not being able to pinpoint what he did. Manning did really seem to find a way of utilising him at MK and getting him shooting positions outside box, he scored some outrageous goals that season. L1/Championship have very different physical/intensity requirements though, which is where I would have question marks. I think Burnley had their pants pulled down at £4m. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was big on him when he was on loan at Newport from Swindon…and OOC why didn’t we (City) and 23 other champ sides take that low-cost risk. Especially when he then did well at MK. But I have nagging doubts at the kind of fee we might need to pay now. I’d like to see him more central, as that’s where I think if you’re gonna really know if you’re getting value for money. If he was £2m I’d think differently….£4m I’d want more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrick's Marvels Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 £4M is daft money. There has to be better value than that available. We're not going up or down this season so it might be prudent to wait until the summer rather than rush into a deal this month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going up or down this season so it might be prudent to wait until the summer rather than rush into a deal this month. If the price is £4m, I agree that we should not spend that. However, I consider that we should recruit two or three now as the sixth spot in the final table appears to be wide open for one of about six or seven clubs. So well worth getting the additional squad members in now and giving it a good go for sixth. Even if we miss it by a couple of points, it will have brought real confidence and consistency to the squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be our 4th highest fee paid, at a time when making top six would be a real stretch. Far more logical to spend in the summer when you don’t get pressured by the madness of the January window. Also it is surely worth us looking outside the UK to get better value when we do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
