Scott Twine - Signed on Four Year Deal - Official

[Mr Popodopolous]

Second striker??

That is more promising. Yes I could envisage him having certain attributes that are needed to play 10, he is also an intelligent player.

I only came on to talk about the shirt, and now look at me! I promise I'll go away after this.

What I don't understand are those who are saying, "just move on." Football isn't like a game of Football Manager. The recruitment team, including the Technical Director and Manager, will constantly be making lists of players who they feel have not only the playing skills but also the personality attributes needed to fit into the team. That player also needs to be available and affordable. They clearly believe that Twine ticks all the boxes for that position, and maybe nobody else with those attributes is available (for whatever reason), so they are willing to see what happens.

My feeling is that they are willing to place someone like Wells into that position (hence playing there in the last game) until that player becomes available. This could simply be a case of Twine being the perfect fit, and they don't want to waste money on anyone else at this stage. They can just move someone like Wells in there if they are unsuccessful this time around as they (and rightly so) have a valuation on that player and don't want to overpay. 

 

Thats a good idea let's move a 34 year old out and out striker in there  the club are just being tight like they always are untill we spend the money we will be a bottom half championship club.

It's quite common for players to find new roles within a team as they get older, especially if their previous role relied on pace as an asset. It may not be so common these days, but for example, John Galley switched to Centre Half at Nottingham Forest.

Could you please expand on this to give me anymore information to your point? Or are you just saying he's 34 and that's it?

Tbf I don’t think anyone doubts Wells’ professionalism and quality. But he hasn’t played as a 10 at the age of 34 (the second striker is a “second striker”) and it’s very unlikely that he’ll possess either the creativity and vision of a “Twine” type or the running ability of a Weimann who played there in the WSM days.

Players can undoubtedly adapt as they get older. But my feeling is that Wells as the number 10 as opposed to Wells as a proper second striker (so probably a different formation all told) isn’t really the wisest move.

I think we’re looking at a relatively fluid formation this year from the two games thus far, both in and out of possession. I’m not sure our “10” in that fluid makeup should be a 34 year old bloke who hasn’t played there. As the highest forward yes, and he may well be ahead of Fally at the start for that role.

 

[Davefevs]

FWIW I think Nahki has become a more accomplished all-round “team” striker over the past two seasons.  That kinda of “dad” / mentor role he’s played may well have made him think more about his own game.

According to someone in the game he’s not lost his pace either.

So, although I’m not suggesting he should play as a “10” per se, it would surprise me if he could be effective as a different type of partner for whoever plays CF.  When I think back to the lack of confidence he had in 20/21 and 21/22 when his touch wasn’t the best, and shots skewed off the side of either foot, I do think there is still much he can offer.

[Nugget]

I didn’t catch the game but he was getting rave reviews from what I was reading it sounded like that 10 position… of course it was just a friendly but Wells is a street wise player & maybe could share the load with Stokes over a season if we had to. Hopefully Twine gets over the line as I can see Manning being pretty disappointed if not as he’s always been his Nr 1 target

I’d say he played more as a second forward, almost like he was on a bungee rope with Sinclair Armstrong.  But it’s semantics really.

Each player will play their role differently even if LM asked him to play as a “10”.  Twine will be about pockets and through balls, Sykes would be a dribbler, Weimann a third-man runner, etc.  Wells plays it with an appreciation of needing to help the striker imho.

It’s kinda why I don’t get hooked up on formations.

I also why I hope Mayulu gets an opportunity to pair up with either Armstrong or Wells over this weekend’s games, as we may not have got a great representation of his ability with Stokes behind him for example.

Wells at 10?

Over a long Championship season- that would be different. He played it v Newport and he is an intelligent player, but it feels a little like shoe-horning again?

Has he any history of playing 10 more widely or?

Agreed, wells needs to be on the end of good supply into the penalty box to try and score goals, playing in a playmaking role between midfield and attack is clearly not what hes best at,,, mehmeti or tgh is much more suited to the ball playing number 10 role than wells.

[Sandhurst Red]

Biggest loss with no Twine is set pieces. He made a genuine difference almost immediately.

We lack massively in this area, and any statician will tell you how critical this is any league. 

That said, when I spoke to a QPR supporting friend, thinking Armstrong would be ideal for this, he laughed and said he can't head for Toffee..... So who knows. 

[Mr Popodopolous]

Other big loss without Twine is his ability to win free kicks.

Scott was good at this, in both halves- it can help a side to build pressure or break up some as and when appropriate.

For 3 million I wouldnt. 

I saw very little in his time here that made me think we should spend 3 million on him. 

I think at that price there is other options. 

Last season was the highest amount of games he's played in this league. 

Over 49 Championship games he's scored 9 and only has 4 assists. 

Azaz who we were after for 2.5 million has scored 11 and assisted 10 in 46 Championship appearances. 

[Mr Popodopolous]

If I was hazarding a guess, £4m would be the price Burnley want for a permanent move.

Whether that is fair or expensive is open to debate, but it feels to me like the sort of price tag they may want.

[Scrumpylegs]

Twines position is arguably the most important one on the pitch. It is key as he operates in the space between midfield and the forwards and this has been a real weakness of ours over the last few years. Players that can play this role are rare and will always be in demand. It’s the ‘specialist’ nature of this role that uplifts the price. To get Twine we may have to pay more than a lot of posters think!

[numbeast]

I think now is the time, if it hasn’t already happened, for Liam Manning, the board and recruitment team to sit down and decide what we’re prepared to do the get this over the line. They need to sort out the maximum price we’re willing to pay, how much longer we’re prepared to wait and the viable alternatives we could pursue if we need to move on.

 

We must, by now, know the lowest price they’re going to accept if we won’t pay that move on, there isn’t going to be a pre-season sale like the late afternoon on Christmas Eve. How long do we wait, I’d say give it a week if there is no joy move on. We need to, and I’m sure they already are, putting out feelers to find out who fits the bill for the type of person Manning’s looking for. If we start sounding out potential recruits and getting an approximate price in the next week we can then speed up the process should we need to move on.

 

I am a fan of Scott Twine and I think he would add to the squad, but this has been dragging on so long now I’m starting to question if waiting is worth the trouble. I’m sure there are other technically gifted players available, if not in this country, then abroad. I’m starting to get a little concerned that by putting all our eggs in 1 basket all we’re going to end up scrabbling around looking to do business in the final week of the window.

The issue for me is around what we can recoup in the future. Twine is 25 and 2 or 3 years away from his peak. As a general rule, that's around the age a player's worth is likely to be at its maximum. Once a player hits 27 or 28 then any club signing them knows that they are likely to be over 30 at the end of their time at the club and their value will depreciate. Assume we want Twine for more than a couple of seasons then I reckon £2 to £2.5 million is the most we can spend and still believe we have a reasonable chance of receiving the same or more if we sold him again in the future. If we spend £4 - £5 million on him then I think it makes it very likely we will ultimately make a loss on him.

That doesn't have to matter - in that we can obviously get value from him whilst he is here and, if he got us promotion, or became key to our style of playing, then we can potentially justify having spent a lot on a player we make a loss on. But it is nonetheless a factor we have to weigh up if we choose to spend £3 million or more on him.

It's not that rare, there's a 10 in every team, and its not that specialist. The fundamental requirements being to see opportunities and be able to pass with accuracy, so hopefully to make the most of those opportunities. I don't think Twine makes us into a top 6 championship club but he is who Manning wants.  At £4M I believe he's a little overpriced but in this case it's a sellers market and if we want him permanently now we are going to have to stump up the money. I'd prefer a deal of £2.5M plus add-ons but the ball is in Burnley court.

They're gunna wait till the end of the window for him.

We'll be spending a fair chunk on a loan or overspending on a permanent.

Can't deny his quality from set pieces and some of his passing is nice but I personally wouldn't be waiting this long or spending that much money on him. Very weak on and off the ball and pretty slow too, can maybe get away with that in a free role behind a big striker.

People said he played a 10 role last year but he was starting wide left and drifted inside with Pring/Roberts on the overlap with the back 3.

I'd prefer him in a conventional 10 position with Bell out on the left wing with a back 4 but that requires bravery nowadays in modern football and we're a bit too safe from watching last years performances.

If he goes back to wingbacks and keeps Twine in that Left wing spot it reduces game time for Bell who imo (might get pelters for this) is our best attacking outlet and threat. 

The meltdown on here when we inevitably wait till deadline day and he stays, would be so Bristol City wouldn't it.

Christs sake mate. We’ve moved from having an asset that we were prepared to “get the value on the pitch” from, and therefore any bidders would have needed to be mindful of that and pay us a premium accordingly, to an asset that we’re paying to do nothing and therefore there is no premium attached.

If the boot was on the other foot and it was City bidding for a player in Conways scenario then I’m willing to bet you’d think the club should try and get them on the cheap.

With respect, this is basic stuff. And as I said on the Conway thread (apologies for polluting) you can agree with the action but not accepting the consequence is pretty one eyed.

FWIW Burnley put together a very sensible loan deal last season for City.  None of this Chelsea (huge loan fee) or Liverpool (penalties for not playing) lark, they want their loanees to play and improve.

Whether they will do the same this summer I don’t know.

Dependency there for me Dave is whether the six months less on contract changes the game, and I’d envisage it will. A season long loan for Twine takes him to one year left and into Conway territory (shudder).

If at the end of a loan you have two years left you want the asset to play as it both protects sale value and possibly develops the player for you. If there is one year left then the former of those is somewhat diminished and you’d want a loan deal that reflects that financial position IMO.

It has been a saga that is for sure and it will be nice to be put out of misery as soon as possible whatever way it goes.

Imagine how quiet OTIB would have been this summer without the Twine and Conway situations!

Still nowhere near the Eddie Nketiah saga.

FWIW- I like Twine he is a very tidy footballer  and hope we can get the deal done

Twine started for burnley over the weekend in there friendly he is being heavily used for them it's looking like he has become a firm part of parkers plans.... I think this one's dead in the water.

Because they know that Manning is in love with Twine and that we will sooner or later come to the minimum terms that are acceptable to Burnley. If we can see that our club are being run by numpties, I guess Burnley can too.

Bit harsh! I'm sure they're doing things for the good of the club.

anyone know if twine played vs leganes yesterday, can’t see him in any pictures, and can’t find the lineup to check. 
not every player going on tour apparently, today could be the day we find out his short term future

From the video they put on of their disallowed goal the Burnley team looked like

Hladky

Vitinho
O’Shea
Esteve
Can’t make out left back

Cullen
Brownhill

Koleosho
Twine
Zaroury

Obafemi

Yeah, if he’s on their pre season tour abroad & is starting games in a line up like that, there’s next to no chance he’s here before the season starts.
