underhanded Posted Tuesday at 11:40 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:40 I'm really hoping he stays injury free and gets back into their first 11. Have a good feeling about him based on reports from Aldershot fans and his small cameos in pre-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted Tuesday at 12:28 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:28 He was walking down North Street several hours after Saturday's game so I assume he lives locally or was back to watch the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HengroveReds Posted Tuesday at 16:05 Share Posted Tuesday at 16:05 Saw him at the game, watched behind the dug out with other injured players.. hope he’s not another injury ridden talent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted Tuesday at 17:11 Share Posted Tuesday at 17:11 Bad timing as he had started well by the sound of it, then again I guess there's not many injuries with good timing. His debut he got really good praise, after coming on as Sub and helping get Cambridge back from 1-4 to 4-4. He played all of the next 3 getting 3 assists before picking up his knee injury. Monk said 4-6 weeks , seven weeks ago . Hopefully will be close to playing again soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDarwall Posted Tuesday at 17:27 Share Posted Tuesday at 17:27 Notwithstanding the fact its a long old season, given the fact that Earthy can't get a start when Twine is injd, does make you think we'd have been better keeping Stokes here & saving on a loan fee + wages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a vicious circle It’s really not (and my thanks to @TDarwall for predicting my obvious response and @Davefevs for facilitating it!) My position was clear - I wouldn’t have signed Twine on the basis of an uninspiring and at points disgraceful in terms of attitude (Huddersfield) loan spell. That was based on an assessment of quality of the player relative to fee, fit with squad/style of play, injury record and attitude. However, I was consistent that if Liam wanted him we should have done it early and not dicked around (as noted, Burnley did deals with no manager). I certainly wouldn’t have been calling for him to have been signed had we had sub par performances without him. Ironically, the reverse of that correlation is actually true!

DT The Optimist Posted Wednesday at 12:42 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:42 My brother lives near Cambridge, U fans were raving about him and gob smacked Bristol City released him on loan… and what players we must have for that to happen. Time will tell, it will be nice keeping an eye on them when he has recovered 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a vicious circle Not from many who witnessed his lame performances last season, including his appearance for Hull at Ashton Gate. £2 million maybe. Not many would gave been shouting to sign him for £3.5 million. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both would have been cheaper than Twine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
