RedRoss Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 So it was 2.5 as Nixon originally reported at the end of December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Certainly £2.5m makes far more sense though @Harry & @Finley_Smith10 should probably replace our existing scouting team, seeing as both of them were miles ahead in recommending we sign him. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNQ Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 So we sold Alex Scott for approx £25m and to ensure our ongoing viability we need to shop around Carlisle, Wycombe, Oxford or wherever for a replacement that will cost us about as much in interest that the nest egg will generate.. This strategy will not only not take us forward over the next couple of seasons, we will regress as current experienced players leave or retire and out of contract players possibly see their future elsewhere and the squad gradually breaks up. Surely investing in not one but at least two quality signings of the ilk of Twine and still hold £10~15m as a nest egg would be the right move in supporting the current crop of top-half championship players and giving us supporters some real optimism for the future? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KegCity Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Panic over, we’re not spending 5 million. Whilst there’s disappointment we couldn’t sign him for free, we’re addressing one of our biggest weaknesses and getting Manning’s first choice through the door. Very happy with that.

Fake ITK is something that really should’ve been left in 2015, the people that fall for it are even worse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without wishing to upset one or two, but it is completely relevant to your point, this is an obvious area for improvement that the appointed DoF has take responsibility for and sort out.........sooner rather than later because it is clear we have to work harder than other clubs at the level to secure players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely interested to know what makes you believe it is 'clear we have to work harder than other clubs at the level to secure players'? Perhaps you could elaborate a little?

petehinton Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Really good deal if it is true, but as we all said when manning came in….if given money to spend, I’m intrigued to hear how we were at our limit in terms of budget in October, but suddenly we aren’t at our limit now. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Just now, Mr Hankey said: £2.5Mil would be a great deal Yes, still a fair chunk of wages to pay but it just feels that this is a realistic valuation compared to what was being mooted!! Plus we get a player who clearly has more quality than we currently possess in the squad. If we were paying double that I would have been concerned because I couldn't see what else of any quality we would realistically be able to afford in the NEXT window not just this one......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoss Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 How are people getting upset at spending 2.5 million on a player that had 20 goals/13 assists in League One was 4 mill a year ago and getting a move to the Prem. Has put up good stats in the Championship so far. I know with the benefit of hindsight we could of bought him cheaper but that applies to us and 40 other teams thar also missed the trick for a freebie. He's filling an obvious void of creativity that we've missed. Seems like good business if it comes off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Fastard Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 If this is true, then a few on here might have to reappraise their opinion of Brian Tinnion and the quality he brings to the recruitment team. Just like the quality he brought to the team when he played. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the questions that need to continue to be asked. Some people will happily overlook these things because we are signing a good player. Not me tho. I remain concerned about how this club is run and how we are constantly lied to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spin will be Weimann is now off the wage bill, the Cup money if we beat West Ham but like “top ten budget & top six squad” it’s horseshit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Interesting to see how he incorporates Twine and Knight in the same team. Easier if he goes 3-5-1-1 for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf mate I seen him score that goal against Ipswich for Swindon and thought yeah he’d be a good signing. I don’t have a clue when it comes to scouting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier if he goes 3-5-1-1 for sure I think Knight would be better as a conventional box to box MF. Hopefully Twine plays just off of Conway & we don't try & make a winger out of him! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the quality he brought to the team when he played. Without getting dragged into this again, the issue is not the quality that Tinnion identifies, but more about who they allow to then buy the identified talent. Who knows? The £2.5m (minimum) if spent in August could have had us top 4 currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Max Vyner. Atkinson. Dickie McCrorie. Williams. TGH. Pring Twine. Knight Conway Maybe he’s got something like this in mind 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
