When asked about this on the FBC podcast, Gavin Marshall couldn't really answer the question of who heads up the negotiations now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC31 Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 (edited) 2 hours ago, RedRoss said: Completely agree our attacking options need a complete renovation that's where we are lacking. Plus another if TC goes. Will be an interesting summer for sure. This may be somewhat oddly controversial especially where bell is concerned ( his father and academy links) but sam bell Mark sykes and in alot of ways Annis mehmeti are just no where near good enough for a top 6 chasing championship side it hasn't really been highlighted but I think the wings need a big upgrade also.

I would say those players that he has been socialising with recently away from football will be more useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 14 minutes ago, Robbored said: Burnley will be back in the Championship next season and I seriously doubt that they’ll let Twine go to a rival club in the same league. Equally Twine could help a club unlikely competing for automatic spots to take points off more teams then just Burnley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galley is our king Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 3 hours ago, Merrick's Marvels said: If Twine just had the season he's had but for someone else, and if he had no connection to our manager, would we be keen to sign him? I'd think not. Manning needs to practice what he preaches here and take the emotion out of it. For 5 million quid, we need to be buying a guaranteed hit. Twine ain't that at this level. So we'd be taking a punt, hoping he'd grow into one. And the price we pay for a punt at this level is probably about half what Burnley want. Do we have anyone clever enough to strike such a bargain? Simple answer....NO! We have zero experience in negotiating such matters and it was interesting that 2 of the last transfer window players were loaned back to their parent clubs...... for the first time EVER! Who in the club is doing this very important work and what qualifications and experience do they have? Worried about the madness of losing all this experience on and off the field. Who is there to grab the reins should we suffer a poor start next season? Maybe SL will march into the dressing room and sort it out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 1 hour ago, chinapig said: It was naive of Manning to make it so obvious he's desperate to sign Twine. We have shown our cards and given Burnley an advantage. Negotiating skills training required I think!

ExiledAjax Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 If we pay £5m for him (however it's structured: 1. He'd be our third most expensive signing ever (adjusted for inflation probably second above Diedhiou); and 2. Had he been transferred last summer at that fee he'd have been in the top 5 transfer fees paid by teams not in receipt of PPs. I'm not sure we're fishing in that kind of pond anymore. We might technically be able to given the accounts post Scott, but it doesn't feel like we're doing that sort of purchase right now. (Figures from transfermarkt). 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coach Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Somewhat concerning to me we may potentially back a manager who hasn’t set the world a light and the jury is still out on with a player costing £5mil who hasn’t shown to date he’s worth anywhere near that amount. All rumours at the moment but if this does turn out true. Proves we never learn our lesson. 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S-M Seagull Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 It seems to be a given on here that if we were to reach a deal with Burnley that Twine would sign for us. I'm not sure I quite understand that? He'd maybe fancy his chances of breaking into the Burnley team and being part of a team that gets promoted. He'd possibly have interest from other teams who are more likely to challange than we are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with this. From what I saw of Twine during his loan period, he didn’t make enough of an impact to justify what would presumably be a significant outlay for us in our current position. Of course, if we sign him he might come good, and I’m very happy to be proved wrong, but I get the sense we’d buy him for an inflated price (plus wages as well, which I’m assuming would be high). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 4 hours ago, RedRoss said: Ahem.. Rob Dickie 800k Hayden Roberts FREE Knight 2 million We've actually been good recently. We used to get our pants pulled down before with MA. I think we'll move on to other targets early if Twine is a no goer. Will be interesting to see the modus operandi changes this summer being Manning's first summer. If it stays consistent - will mean the director of strategy sits more in BTs court. If it changes significantly I'd be slightly worried, as the general direction of recruitment during the NP period was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is some statement. The previous season only ended 9 days ago, we are one of very few Championship teams who have even announced who they are keeping on. Most clubs haven’t said this & we don’t know the entire composition of next season’s division yet. No one has the slightest idea who we’ll sign, who will leave or how much money we’ll spend, yet you think “we’ll do well” to finish in a spot below where we did this season. I have no idea how anyone can possibly think that they know this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
