Oh Louie louie Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Id take him tomorrow, but us spending 5 million on one player? I don't think that's very likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will sign him but it will be an undisclosed fee We will also spend big on a striker and if TC is sold then that nett’s off some of the outlay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nest Egg Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 I think we would be livid if Twine ended up signing for someone else, even if it was close to £5m. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree based on what we have seen. Exactly the type of player we need. If he wants to come & Burnley prepared to sign AND we want top 6 we must sign him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Few questionable ITK’s on Twitter saying it’s done or thereabouts. I’d like him to stay. We’re short on sparkle at the top end of the pitch and he has that. Hopefully a bit of pressure from Twine and his agent on Burnley can help a deal be done.

We certainly need more to bridge the 10 point gap to top six, still think we need a Semenyo/Ogbene type wide player who can destroy teams with pace and power/direct running in behind, we have nobody who can do that, a powerful physical pacy striker, ACM minimum plus I would consider the Rotherham keeper Johansen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do we get for Tommy realistically? £7M? Can’t see much more with 12 months left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My estimation would be £5m to £7m, the two hamstring injuries won't be ignored despite the fact he came back from both. However my guess would be we'd get maybe 1.5m to 2.5m absolute tops if Conway goes to compensation, I don't see us potentially turning down another 3-5 mil for having him around for another year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near £7m - not even half that. I can see too many weaknesses in Conways game and if I can see them so can potential buyers. I’d be as amazed as I was when Villa paid £15m for Kodjia if another decent English club offered £3m 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably will be better and with right players around him think Tommy will be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that little will happen until the PL season ends. If we can get Burnley’s asking price down (£5m) considerably then maybe it’ll happen, otherwise we will move on during close season. I don’t see us letting drag into pre-season, let alone the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 (edited) I've not watched all the recent away games and some hom3 games I've pretty much fallen asleep. So what have others seen in Twine that makes you believe we should spend 5 million on Twine? 2 goals and zero assists doesn't really sell the idea of spending 5 million on him to me.

As a fanbase we seem very fixated on signing up loan players. Maybe other fanbases are the same but as a club I do hope we are considering all options.

TBH I don't think he's set the World alight, the injury disrupted his flow TBF. But the Rotherham game showed a little of what we could get if he did sign. Wasn't just his best game, but he brought the best out of TC too. For that reason I would like to see him come here, he really linked well. He was good at Norwich and has been ok previously. At anywhere near £5m it's a hard no from me , but , if the fee is nearer £2m then maybe. We don't know our budget, we don't know if TC or JW , even MJ will be given new deals , we don't know if Burnley will even consider a lower price than the £4m they paid . Burnley may see him as part of their route back up , so many things that can happen. The only thing I'm sure about ( well 99% ) is that we won't spend £5m on him , I doubt our entire budget is that much. 3 minutes ago, CodeRed said: Robbo watching the OS for news and rumours ?

Isn’t Palmer Houlden likely to be in the first team squad next season ? He seems like the type of player that the club say they want. They could pay 5 million for Twine , blood Seb and still bring in a cheap foreign player to look as though we’ve spent big . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
