We all know we do such a vigorous scouting job that we watch a player at least 40-50 times live before signing.

George Rs Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 7 hours ago, Harry said: I’ll help out a bit here. I was told a name a couple of weeks ago and promised to keep it to myself. Which I have done. But I’ve since heard the same name mentioned by a number of other people so I don’t mind giving a little bit of info as I know it’s not going to have come directly from my source or me. I won’t say the name, but I’m told that the ‘number 10’ we may be considering rather than Twine is a “gamble” as Graham put it’d because he has zero experience in England, let alone the Championship. He’s 22, Brazilian and has a total of 18 appearances in the Brazilian Serie A. So whilst it would certainly be a somewhat exciting signing, as Graham says, it’s likely a big gamble too. Found two players who meet that criteria. Matheus Araujo: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matheus-araujo/profil/spieler/678853 Matheus Dias: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matheus-dias/profil/spieler/815384 (Ignore his stated position usually slots in on the right of midfield for Internacional) Cant say which seems more likely to be the one Harry is on about. Matheus Dias did play a few games for the Brazil u23s this year so maybe he was uncovered there?? Pure guesswork though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out that 18 apps over a few seasons at 22 is not that great when 38 players 22 and under made 18 appearances in a single season.

I guess it partly comes down to how wedded Twine himself is to the idea of becoming a Bristol City player? My assumptions are that; a) Burnley aren't desperate to keep Twine, simply wanting to maximise the money the can recoup. b) Scott Twine is really keen to play under Manning c) Manning is desperate to have his guy In all honesty, at this stage I'd prefer us to just pay the fee. Not because I think he's worth it but because it means Liam has exactly what he wants and we can then begin to judge him, one way or another, as a coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
